Tire management software: from registration to CPK

If you still think tire management software does not work for your fleet, you have come to the right place.

High tire costs frighten many fleet managers. That is why there is a strong search for alternatives to spend less on tires. Usually by buying cheaper tires or using tires even when they are already excessively worn.

However, the best alternative is to learn proper tire care and how to manage it in the fleet.

First, to work as a tire manager or tire analyst, you need technical knowledge of these components, as well as establishing and standardizing fleet processes and workflow. All clear so far?

You also need a place to integrate all information about the fleet's tires. After all, the large number of tires requires centralized control to avoid errors and data loss.

This is where a tire management system comes in! Let's get started:

Tire management system features

There are many things a system can do, including:

Registering tires, vehicles and employees

Basic, right? Every system needs a registration process to identify what is being handled and who is responsible for the tasks.

Tire relocation

The relocation feature allows you, of course, to move tires between various services and between fitted positions. This way, you always have a record of:

• which position and vehicle a particular tire is on;
• when and how tire rotation was carried out;
• sending tires for retreading;
• etc.

All relocations that may be necessary are recorded in this feature.

Controlling refurbished tires by ID

It is common to send a tire for refurbishment and have it return with a new identification number. After all, it has received a new life and needs something to record this. In your tire management system, you can add this new ID and continue control without problems.

Tire inspection routine

Tire inspection measures the tread depth and pressure of each tire fitted to the vehicle (and the spare tire). By creating a schedule, that is, an inspection routine, the system measures each item's average wear.

This data also identifies possible causes of excessive or irregular wear and some solutions.

Various tire reports

Using the tread depth and pressure data collected, the system produces various reports for you to analyze and make decisions. For example, in Prolog's software, you will find reports such as the inspection schedule itself, open services, closed services, disposed tires, replacement forecasts, and so on.

You can also customize reports with the information you need at the time.

Opening work orders

Like any fleet management and maintenance system, a tire management system has the function of opening work orders when an issue is detected. In fact, opening them is even automated.

During an inspection, as an item is marked “NOK,” a new order is automatically opened in the system. To complement this feature, we have:

Adding photos

You can take immediate photos of the issue so the repair team can identify it more easily and fix it. When a work order is opened, the photo taken at the time of inspection will already be available in it.

The photo feature is also available at tire disposal.

Controlling cost per kilometer (CPK)

This is one of the most important features. CPK shows the manager which tire offers the best value for money for each type of transport operation. This way, it can help generate savings not just by extending tire life, but by buying the right tires at the right time!

Beyond identifying durable and effective tires, tire management software indicates when to refurbish tires and perform tasks such as rotation.

Discover Prolog App's tire management software

Prolog's system has a major advantage over others: it is specialized. In other words, it focuses only on taking care of the fleet's tires.

Unlike other options on the market, which promise to be a complete maintenance and fleet control solution, our purpose is to take the best possible care of tires.

To make this truly beneficial to your fleet, we built the software with an API that allows the solution to integrate with other systems used by the operation, according to each fleet's circumstances.

This way, you organize tire management, inspect according to a dedicated schedule and keep track of important data to decide when to act on each item.
