About E-Solution Professionals
I would like to introduce the company E Solution professionals and more importantly their product Tireweb. E Solution Professionals was founded by two tire people with a combined tire industry experience of more than 50 years. Experiences covering everything from tire installation, retail store management, tire distribution, import and export and even OTR tire management. We think Tireweb is the leader for the tire industry in e-commerce technology. We expect Tireweb to transact over 11 million tires in the United States in 2008 . Tireweb is used by both small and large distributors and boasts some of the best known company names. In addition Tireweb integrates with every accounting system we have come into contact with. Our company understands the need for return on investment. Technology needs to return a financial reward, to do that it needs to
We have comments from our clients that they believe the Tireweb system increases sales by about 20% to those clients that are intensive users. They think that is due to the combination of the system being on line 24 hours per day 7 days per week and that their full product range is on display, making certain the client knows all the options they have. We expect Margin increases to result from better targeting lines by having them emboldened on the site, or having them list first and by having manufacturer logos appear on lines that our clients prefer to sell. Decreasing costs is easy to imagine. Think if all your sales were handled electronically. No Customer call center, reduced phone costs, reduced office leasing costs etc. Of course in reality not all the sales will happen electronically but typically, Tireweb systems are currently expected to transact about one third of a distributors sales. Improving Cash Flow occurs by advancing to online payment, by denying access to Tireweb to delinquent accounts or simply improving the amount of sales to those clients that are very good payers. Reduce Capital committed in your business by reducing slow moving inventory through special offerings In addition to these principles that are the foundation of the success of Tireweb we also define ourselves as a Service company and not a seller of a product. Online technologies are developing all the time and systems need to adapt and grow as the technology changes. As a partner with our clients in this technology we continually develop the site to meet the clients needs. As a service provider we are happy to do the redevelopment.
E-commerce technology deserves a great deal of consideration. We expect that e-commerce will be the dominant transaction process in the tire industry in the years ahead replacing the telephone and facsimile systems to a great extent. We expect that every distributor of significance will have an e-commerce system. It will come down to who has the better system. So what makes one e-commerce system better than another. Currently we see e-commerce in the tire industry centered around the internet browser, but we don’t see that as being long term when distributor systems will integrate with client software so a client can view inventory and prices, place orders and import transaction documents while they are in their accounting software. E Solution Professionals is partnering with some of the United States most respected suppliers of accounting software to the tire industry to achieve this integration. We have launched a new site tirelibrary.com that allows our distributors to integrate with other companies, allowing a distributor to map their item numbers to any other company item number for the same product. However the important first step is to get the return on investment and that is most likely through a good browser interface. We are proud of the comment that we get from end users of Tireweb that “Tireweb is very easy to use and intuitive to learn”. This has the benefit of allowing Tireweb to reach out to more users and as such increases the sales for that distributor. Tireweb is also feature rich, with fitment guides, plus sizing, quotation creation, search and many more features. Tireweb is also a multi tiered permission driven site. This means each user can have a different experience. Including the distributors administration. For further information please go to www.esprofessionals.com |
