ASA will set up shop at Goodyear dealer meeting

Jan. 21, 2013

ASA Automotive Systems LLC sure has been busy this year. The software systems and services company, which caters to independent tire dealers and automotive service centers, will be traveling to the nation’s capital for the 2013 Goodyear Dealer Conference.

Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co. will hold its dealer meeting and trade show at the Washington, D.C., Gaylord National Resort & Convention Center in Washington, D.C., Jan. 27-30, 2013.

From Thursday, Jan. 17, to Friday, Jan. 18, ASA manned a booth at the 2013 K&M Tire Dealer Meeting at the Rosen Centre Hotel in Orlando, Fla. (see photo).

At the Goodyear conference, ASA will host exhibit booth No. 127 and will demonstrate the latest release of its TireMaster software family, which includes some major enhancements to the following features:

* "the scheduler,"

* "quotes & estimates," and

* D.O.T. registration.

TireMaster software offers Goodyear dealers an electronic interface for the Goodyear Point of Sale Incentive (POSI) Program. The interface helps simplify the process of submitting claims for retail transactions, as well as for the Goodyear Tire-HQ; there are additional enhancements to automate and streamline the process of submitting national account claims and manage inventory.

ASA’s TireMaster system also offers Goodyear Credit Card Processing, which provides dealers with an efficient and effective solution that gives their customers a financing alternative for their automotive tire and repair purchases.

“ASA remains on target in meeting the business technology needs of today’s independent tire dealers,” says Dave Vogel, vice president of sales at ASA.

"While we maintain a focus on the core requirements, we are also incorporating the latest technology trends, like cloud, social, mobile and big data, and the shifts in how tire dealers can consume and take advantage of information technology.”
