Eurotire Turns Down Under for Software Solution

Eurotire, Inc., a US based OTR tyre specialist with manufacturing facilities in Romania and the Ukraine, has unveiled its new EuroTrack tyre management system. Eurotire selected Australian software developer Vehicle Management Corporation (VMC) and its enTIRE Tire and Rim Management Software (a Windows based computer programme that will track the performance and stock levels of a fleet of tyres and wheels) to create the EuroTrak customised tyre data collection system. Tyre and wheel performance data will be collected from around the world using EuroTrak, analysed at Eurotire’s offices, and fed back to Eurotire’s manufacturing plants to provide continuous product improvement feedback.

“VMC enTire, with its proven software system, is the natural choice for Eurotire’s EuroTrak requirements,” commented Eurotire COO Meir Dubinsky. “As an emerging leader in the global OTR tyre industry it is extremely important that we not only collect tyre and wheel data, but collect data and apply the findings in a way that allows us to create value for our customers.”

“I am delighted that enTIRE has been selected by Eurotire as it further expands our global penetration and is a testimony to the power of the entire suite of software,” added VMC managing director Mark Fernie. “enTIRE is used by large mining groups, transport companies, tyre companies and service providers to collect tyre stock and performance information which is fed back into the tyre manufacturing plants to improve the performance and quality of tyres. enTIRE is also used by large corporate mining groups to centralise data from many mining operations in different countries so that the data can be analysed centrally to improve operational issues that affect tyre life.

“We are the only Tyre Management Software developer that is independent from tyre companies and service providers,” Fernie added. “Our independence makes our software an attractive option to tyre users. Our users include very large mining groups some with over 100 users online, tracking more than 50 million dollars of tyres each year. In total enTIRE tracks over half a billion dollars of tyres annually at hundreds of sites throughout the world. These figures are rapidly increasing. We are looking forward to working with the Eurotire team and their customers to streamline tyre performance dataflow back to the Eurotire factories for product improvement.”
