Digital Tyre Business
Tyres have always been a highly technological product, but the influence of technology in the distribution and retail parts of the business hasn’t always moved at the same pace. Recent years, however, have seen the role of Internet and e-commerce take-off. That progress was compounded during the last couple of years of pandemic-related lockdowns. Now, as workers at one of the UK’s leading tyre retail chains recently told us, online orders and bookings account for the lion’s share of business. Indeed, those particular staff members reported that online orders make up as much as 95 per cent of the business they deal with each working day. With that in mind, in October’s magazine, Tyres & Accessories takes a closer look at the Digital Tyre Business, which for the purposes of that feature includes the e-commerce, e-tail and stock management parts of the tyre business.
Tyre Wholesale
As a link between manufacturers and retailers, tyre wholesalers serve an important role in the supply chain. A number of beloved international tyre brands can trace their local market success to the efforts of these businesses, and wholesalers also offer their customers product exclusivity through private brands. Our October magazine focuses on wholesalers, those based here in the UK as well as those selling into our market, and also looks at the latest tyre wholesale news from around the world.
