Bandag Introduces ProWheel

(Southern Africa/SA Treads) Bandag has launched ProWheel, a tyre tracking software aimed at small and medium sized fleets that require constant, up-to-date monitoring, as opposed to complex reporting.

Introduced as part of Bandag’s aim to offer fleet solutions it believes the new product will assist in the overall reduction of operating costs. Bandag describes the system as having a “practical and easy-to-use interface which will enable its users to comfortably navigate through the system.”

The system was developed with the intention of automating the tyre recording and controlling function by migrating users from a manual system to an electronic format. It records tyre location, mileage, purchase and retread costs and CPK for scrapped tyres. Once this information has been recorded, the system makes a provision for an official report in the form of a Tyre Card containing the entire tyre history.
