Equipe Tyre & Autocare saves money with meters

A business with multiple sites located across North West England, Equipe Tyre & Autocare is now seeing the benefit of monitoring energy usage. The idea is simple. If you can save energy you can save money. However, according to the company, getting on top of energy bills across all of its sites before the installation of smart meters was difficult; poor billing was a significant problem with meters being read infrequently.

Tecdoc updates Tyredata

TecDoc launched the Tyredata option to its Catalog parts identification system in May 2011 and it has reportedly been well received by many of its Web Shop customers. However, TecDoc has now added extra functionality so users can search by tyre size as well as by the vehicle.

Tyredata was originally developed to provide fast fits, workshops, factors and car dealers with a single source electronic catalogue that would efficiently identify the original equipment (OE) tyre fitment for a specific vehicle. As with many of the replacement parts supplied throughout the aftermarket, individual tyre manufacturers produce their own catalogues for their specific brands, which although they may contain some cross-reference information, don’t directly identify the OE tyre.
