First in the World, Geometry and tyre sales online


Recommended Posts

Seven months late due to the complexity we are finally live. So what's new about this online sales pitch?

 

Tyre sales

1: The tyre prices compete with current sites aggressively and since we are starting small we should have the final edge.

2: Tyres is our business unlike other merchant's that do nothing other than blindly transport goods.

3: Our satellite centres comply with our "SOP" Standard Operational Procedure in relation to fitting, documentation, and quality control.

 

Geometry sales

1: This was really difficult, as you know wim's minimum requirements are above most centres abilities so we filtered 100's of centres and company's from the invitation list, STS Tyre Pros proved the only current company willing to invest in equipment and training that would satisfy our ethos.

2: The initial roll out is 20 or so centres, all of which use our settings so every car is under our wing

3: STS Tyre Pros has to use our price platform since the Geometry is pre-purchased.

 

Here is the link to the BB site, the wim format will follow in time but for now please test the site, tare it apart and offer your opinion's on how it works.

Link? :lol:

 

Just done it.......... It's been a busy day master.

 

I was having a nose earlier, all looks good to me :lol:

 

I do have a question though, which I'm sure others may want to know...but what will your policy be on competing with other online tyre suppliers? I know your prices include fitting so you have to factor in delivery and fitting from other companies but are you in a position to price match if found cheaper elsewhere?

One thing i will ask though is...

The tyre make/size list is still being built, there are ten's of thousands in all.

 

You're gonna be getting alot of calls/emails then asking if you do a particular type...how long will it take to complete the lists? What if customers want to order tyres that aren't on there, how will it work buying online or would they need to call and pay over the phone?

Wow. looks like you have alot of work cut out for you guys.

 

I admire the work put in to your extensive push to get better fitters / allignement thoughout the country. it must take HUGE balls, courage and dare i say it... some insanity.

 

I really hope you and the other WIM guys manage to push the market and open peoples eyes on the importance of a correctly set up geo / car.

After only being live for a few days sales have grown nicely, can't really fault the process at the moment although the Geometry side of things is going to kick in anytime soon, simply due to the complexity.

Glad to see this is finally happeneing Tony......i got as far as the choose a centre bit of the site, might be easier to have a list as the map seems bit buggy, gave up after a few minutes of trying to see which garages in london where available

It could have just been the network at work being a bit slow, but it just wouldnt let me zoom into London and when it finally did it didnt let me select any of the flags.....at one point it took me to polond :) :)....will give it another go when i get home mate and let you know how i get on

Another Bug for you Tony sorry...

 

Just tried buying 'just' geometry for an omega earlier than the dates listed in the drop down box...

 

It says price TBC, carry on with you order and we will contact you, but as the total price is £0.00 there is no continue button to move on to the next stage.

 

 

Advice please, id like to get booked in to Ellesmere Port asap.

 

Cheers

Just had a look at the online site as I'll probably be bringing in another of my Eunos for alignment, but might try a local affiliate.

 

Noticed one thing though - whilst I know the answer is that it doesn't make any difference, when you put in your model of MX5 it only gives dates from 1993 to 2009. Just looks a bit odd like that and might make someone with an 89-92 car give up?
