The system incorporates all of the information in TIA’s TPMS Relearn Chart into a file that can be linked with point-of-sale software so the TPMS requirements for each specific make and model can be printed directly on the work order.
“The TPMS Database was created to give retailers another option for handling the TPMS relearn and service requirements for domestic and import vehicles,” reports Kevin Rohlwing, TIA’s senior vice president of training.
“By creating a data file of the TPMS Relearn Chart, we are now able to provide this valuable information in multiple formats so we can meet the needs of any size retailer,” he says.
“TCS was the first software provider to approach us after the release during the Global Tire Expo (GTE), and we are proud to announce that they are the first company to recognize the value of this product,” Rohlwing points out.
“We are excited to be the first company to offer TIA’s TPMS Database,” says Barry Reese, TCS’ president.
“Our POS software applications already provide retailers with tire reference information and technical data specs, so TIA’s TPMS information was a natural extension of these features,” he notes.
“The partnership with TIA allows our customers to access the TPMS relearn and service requirements for the most popular domestic and import vehicles by simply entering the year, make and model,” Reese says.
