Grouptyre takes on CAM’s OTC

Grouptyre is introducing the Online Tyre Catalogue (OTC) from CAM Systems to enhance its product data and stock management function and help deliver additional accuracy to its sales processes for the benefit of its many customers nationally.

With the advent of new tyre labels, amendments to article numbers, changes within categories and the movement of tyres from active to non-active statuses, a significant amount of product information is changing on a daily basis. With over 160 brands, representing in excess of 70,000 part numbers under management within the OTC, Grouptyre’s subscription to the service means it can manage its stock profile in a highly informed and effective way which helps when receiving orders from customers and placing orders on suppliers, bringing inaccuracies within the supply chain to a minimum.

Carl Murphy, IT manager of Grouptyre, says, “We’ve been impressed with how the OTC can deliver tyre data to us and make visible the impact of changes so Grouptyre is in a position to be making fast, assured and accurate amendments on thousands of product lines systematically.”

Mike Allen, managing director of CAM Systems, adds, “With such vast amounts of product available in the commercial arena, it’s vital that large wholesale operations like Grouptyre are receiving orders correctly first time, every time.  OTC regularly checks, validates and publishes all the variations in labelling and other tyre data, enabling dealers likewise to be precise, which ultimately saves both parties time and money.”
