Fleming Tire
“Our experience in working with ASA could best be described as ‘low stress, low maintenance.’ ASA's team did a wonderful job of understanding our direction and objectives and working with us to fully meet our needs. They were timely, focused and highly professional in their approach to the website development project. We especially appreciated the expertise of the design team. They were dedicated to our ultimate satisfaction and as they say, ‘the proof is in the pudding.’ We came away from this project with a website that exceeded our expectations in every aspect. Please extend our gratitude to the entire ASA team!”
John Fleming, Vice President
Wilbert's Tire Center
“The support team is incredibly knowledgeable, and their response time has been fantastic! I am very pleased with their service.”
Barbara Birnbaum
Eastern Tire & Service
“I am certain the system will pay for itself, above and beyond, in eight or nine months. It gives me so much more flexibility to allow manipulation of sales numbers, and I can bundle items to sell together. These two things alone will help me pay for the system right away.”
Alvin Chase, President
Chabill’s Tire
“I picked ASA because I enjoy working with the people in the organization and had a great trust in them… I also saw tools in TreadX that would help us run our business more efficiently. TreadX is great! It has helped us to streamline our processes in our retail locations… and, I felt the price was right.”
Beth Barron, Director of Business Development
Coast Tire
“Analytix is an awesome tool! By adding it to my TireMax system, I am able to spend more time analyzing my data, and have more information at my disposal. Before Analytix, analyzing sales and margin issues by store, customer or product category was tedious and time consuming.”
Ken Deveau, Sales Business Analyst
Piedmont Truck Tires (Interface BibTread to TireMax)
“We are definitely saving both time and money. We have eliminated at least 4 hours of clerical time every day. This satisfaction comes from the fact that the ASA system is totally stable and we do not have to ever deal with the system being down or with us losing information. ASA has proven to be a reliable partner with the interface and with the other issues that have come up over the last 18 years. They respond quickly when there is a problem and move to get it fixed.”
Dan Rice, President
Simon Tire
“The anticipation of transitioning was much more complicated than reality. The implementation was pleasant and we ended up doing it all over the phone. We have been using TirePro since the late 80’s; TreadX® was developed by the same product visionaries and the logic sequence of the two systems is very similar. We were concerned that it would be overwhelming and it was not. In fact, our counter sales staff took to TreadX® like ducks take to water.”
Harry Simon, Owner
White Tire (BASys Data Channel interface to TireMax)
“With the new interface there is less time taken by office personnel…we have streamlined the delivery receipt processing procedure. I think we save around 15 hours a week. We lost a full time person and moved our part time person to full and did not replace the part time person.”
Sherry Arthur, Corporate Controller
Boulevard Tire (BASys interface to TireMaster)
“The TireMaster BASys Manufacturing Interface has helped our salespersons be more efficient and knowledgeable with their customers. It has allowed out staff to become precise with the billing to the customers. I would recommend the BASys Interface to other companies to provide their customers with better information.”
Summer Meents, Inventory Manager
Ben Tire Distributors (about TirePro)
“The price upload program is a real life saver. We deal with many different manufacturers, and this past year the manufacturers had price increases several times due to an energy situation. If it were not for the upload program, I would not have been able to keep up. We have a fast stable system capable of producing the reports we need. We have better control of our inventory master file and accounts receivable due to the consolidation the system allows. I can get what I want, how I want it.”
Dave Dillier, Systems Manager
Noyes Automotive and Tire (about TireMaster)
"I would say that our increase in sales this year has a lot to do with TireMaster. Being able to call the support team for any question is huge! They always get back to me with an answer; often teaching me new things TireMaster can do by suggesting different ways to complete a procedure. I can not imagine our business without it! I would never go back to paper invoices, never!"
Lori Berthiaume, VP and Controller
Frasier Tire Service
“With eTireLink …the increase in sales and profitability was the real bonus!”
Mavis Tire Supply
“ASA’s software products manage our growing business; simplifying my life and saving me time!”
Stephen Sobrano
Craven Tire & Auto
“Craven Tire & Auto has been an ASA customer for over 20 years. TireMax has met all of our accounting and POS needs better than any product we have seen. We will be switching to TreadX this fall because of the graphics and signature capture in the POS software and the flexibility it affords in the back office.”
Steve Craven, President and Randy Mills, Director of Operations
Consolidated Tire & Oil
“It is really a pleasure working with ASA Tire Systems. They are very knowledgeable; and I wish everyone I dealt with was as professional and helpful as my account manager at ASA!"
Rick Lambert, CTO
West Side Tire
"The hardware and software support from ASA is unsurpassed. The software enabled us to operate with greater ease and control, and it has the capability to grow with our business. We highly recommend the system and ASA!"
Lisa Walters, Dick Rogenski and Rich Rogenski
Maynard & Lesieur, Inc.
“Our software helps our employees talk “tire business” with our customers like pros. The Point-Of-Sale is the easiest to learn and most sophisticated in the tire industry.”
Carmen Lesieur
Consolidated Tires
"We desired a GUI point-of-sale system to assist us in training and daily productivity. In that regard, we believe TreadX is the best in the market. Additionally, we believe the inventory management system will afford us many opportunities in better control, more turns, and less shrinkage. Other products such as Analytix, Mobility Suite, and the eCommerce piece provided me with much needed assurance that ASA understands our business and will be a viable long-term business partner. However, CTI chose to partner with ASA primarily because we believe in their people and we trust them. From the initial discussions to this point in the planning process, ASA has shown a high level of commitment and understanding for our needs. Before talking to any software companies, we decided the most important ingredient we were looking for was a partnership. To this point, ASA has surpassed those expectations."
Will Dennis, President
Piedmont Truck Tires
“With ASA’s new interface to BibTread we are definitely saving both time and money. We have eliminated at least 4 hours of clerical time everyday, equating to at least $25,000 a year savings in salary and benefits. Additionally, we are now able to use bar code numbers to serialize and account for all carcasses that are processed in the system. With this new functionality we can capture previously missed repair revenue equaling over $10,000 per month. The reports that can be generated with the information gathered by these two systems are a big selling tool for our sales people and a great benefit to our customers.”
Dan Rice, President
Henise Tire Service (about our website design)
"We are very pleased with the design and feel of the new website. ASA has done an excellent job in helping us present a professional image to our customers. The eye-catching layout with its use of colors as menu keys is easy to navigate, and provides a wealth of useful information. It will be a great sales tool, and provides another important link for the consumer. The web site will be a time saver for today's tech savvy customers to research the products and services we offer before they buy."
Stephen Derr
Shrader Tire (about InfoExpo)
“I went home with an incredible amount of new ideas, techniques, and advice from the conference. I went to work immediately and implemented several new ideas. What is so good about the conference is the ability to ‘talk the talk’ to other like users, so often both parties learn better ways to do things. Networking is an overused word at times, but it is so critical at this conference.”
Joe Reynolds
TIA
“TIA is proud to be part of the ASA client conference to help retail tire dealers understand how TPMS is going to change their business model. In many ways, the long-term success of tire dealers will depend on their ability to service these vehicles. Since employee training is a key component of success, we want to make sure everyone knows what is available from TIA.”
Kevin Rohlwing, Senior Vice President of Training
Eldorado Tire of Kentucky
“ASA Tire Systems did a great job in designing our website. They were helpful, courteous, thorough, and very knowledgeable. I am looking forward to working with ASA in supporting our website as we continue to grow.”
Chuck Kaiser, President
Wayne’s Tire Center (about InfoExpo)
“The 2006 Expo was a wonderful experience for me. It was well planned by ASA and they went to the extreme to make sure everyone had a good time and received all the information possible. The seminars were very informative and gave me the opportunity to see products other than TireMax that I use. I enjoyed the opportunity to meet other tire dealers from all over the country, and talk to them about their business, to see what they were doing and the different ways they use TireMax. Our user meeting was very down-to-earth and honest. We all had a chance to voice our opinions and make any suggestion or request any change we would like to see. All of these ideas and suggestions were received openly. It made me proud to be a part of this organization. I'm glad I attended, and I'll make every effort to attend InfoExpo next year.”
Wayne Buffington
Ben Tire Distributors (about InfoExpo)
“For me, interacting with fellow users is a very important part of the conference. Learning how they handle different situations, the products they use, what works and what does not. I also find that being exposed to the newest hardware, software and trends helps me plan for our future needs and purchases.”
Dave Dillier
Linder Tire Service (about InfoExpo)
“This conference is a really great opportunity to meet all of the ASA people. The user groups were really informative and actually fun. It was great to meet people who use the same software and have the same questions that I have. I thought the conference was very professional; we would love to attend again next year!”
Dottie Hansen
Bandag (about Premuim Vendor Status)
“The close technical collaboration between our companies means that Bandag dealers should experience a seamless interface between ASA’s TireMax and TirePro products and our BASys Manufacturing system. Because they attained this level in our vendor program, we are pleased to add ASA Tire Systems to the capabilities that Bandag dealers can fund through our PowerPlus and ePower funding programs. They will also display their product at the 2006 Bandag Dealer Alliance Conference.”
Dennis Hall, Product Manager
Mitchell 1
“Our goal in working with such an esteemed company such as ASA Tire Systems is to help each other, and our customers, become more successful. We look forward to having our sales team work closely with the ASA sales team to promote the benefits of this new industry offering.”
Dan Ramirez, Senior Director of Business Development
Wilks Tire and Battery (about Analytix)
We are “expecting great things out of it; comparing prior periods used to be impossible; this should simplify that in a push button process. I used to spend 90% of my time trying to put it all together, now Analytix can do it for me; simplifying my life and saving me time!”
Shane Wilks
Foree Tire (about InfoExpo)
“This was the best conference I’ve attended so far, and I’ve been to many. I was so glad that the ASA programming staff was there; to meet the people who write the programs was very important. I arrived with questions, and they already had the answers for me. The user group meetings were very helpful and the legislative information session with TIA topped off a great week.”
Whitney Thomas
Suburban Tire
“Our goal was to find a system to help increase our sales at the counter, and TreadX gives us the tools to do just that. We looked at many other products to handle both our retail and wholesale operations, and none could match TreadX’s unique combination of rich features and dependability. At the end of the day, ASA proved to have the best overall application.”
Steve Leffler
CAM Commerce Solutions
“We are excited to be partnering with ASA Tire Systems. The application of integrated payment processing within the ASA Tire Systems software will result in immediate benefits for their customers. Customers will now be able to reduce the amount of time when accepting electronic payments and further save time with monthly reconciliation auditing. This integrated approach also reduces the costs of accepting electronic payments by offering: aggressive rates, eliminating errors, and eliminating the need for dedicated processing equipment.”
Chester Ritchie, Vice President of Marketing
Bandag
“The divestiture of the TireMaster product line to ASA ensures a focus on quality and development in the accounting/POS software area, in which ASA and other vendors have expertise. We need to leverage this expertise and make sure we are providing the best products to all our customers. TireMaster is a viable solution for the retail and/or commercial tire dealer. This agreement supports Bandag’s unbiased support of all accounting/POS vendors who serve Bandag’s franchised dealers.”
Mark Davidson, Chief Information Officer
Somerset Tire Service, Inc.
"STS is a long time client of ASA Tire Systems and we welcomed the opportunity to be integrally involved in the development of their next generation product, TreadX. Our goal was to make it as easy to use as possible for our people at the front counter, while providing them the information and flexibility they need to address their customer's needs. At the same time, we wanted to provide a smooth transition for our systems and people and needed to ensure that all other facets of our business, such as inventory, purchasing and accounting were served equally well. I believe that TreadX will meet each of these needs and will benefit STS from the front counter to the back office."
Mike Cardali, Vice President of IT
White’s Tire Service (about VPN installation)
“Before this, none of our outlying locations even had Internet access. We learned about this technology at an ASA user group meeting. In deploying this technology, we were able to give all of our eight stores Internet access while connecting them over one wide area network. Because we were able to eliminate our costly frame relay telephone lines, our payback on this investment was less than 24 months. After that, it’s all savings. And the performance is wonderful!”
Sandra White
Wheel Pros (about Analytix)
“ASA Tire has developed a terrific solution. We were looking for a streamlined method for accurately reporting daily, monthly and yearly cash flow analysis for all of our geographically dispersed locations. Being able to have a side by side comparison of where each of our warehouses stand on an as needed basis has increased our management team’s ability to make quick as well as informed decisions. We not only count on Analytix for accuracy purposes, we also rely on the software to generate top-notch annual bankers meeting presentations.”
Don Bradford, Controller
Bandag
“ASA has recognized TireMaster as the viable product line it truly is. This exclusive agreement puts some real horsepower behind a business software system that is ideally suited to smaller scale tire and auto service dealers.”
Mark Davidson, Chief Information Officer
Tire King
"With the ASA Tire SonicWALL solution, we were able to eliminate the monthly leased line expenses in those locations, and utilizing VPN technology, we connected our stores securely while maintaining strong network performance."
Dean Porterfield, General Manager
SonicWALL
"We're excited about this partnership with ASA Tire systems; their strong customer base and broad expertise as a provider of IT solutions for tire retailers and wholesalers make them an ideal SonicWALL partner. We look forward to helping them continue to build their customer base by extending SonicWALL's integrated security and connectivity solutions to tire and automotive dealers and wholesalers across the nation."
Michael Stewart, Vice President of Worldwide Sales
Wrenchead Inc.
“Partnering with ASA Tire Systems is a terrific win for all involved. Vision Estimator makes it easy to gather the parts and labor information to create accurate job estimates. When you couple that with ASA’s point-of-sale tools, tire dealers have a complete estimate-to-invoice solution that just hasn’t been available until now.”
Kyle Johnson, V.P. Catalog Division
