About The Customer
Tire’s Warehouse Incorporated is the leading tire wholesaler in California, with a history spanning over 50 years. The company prides itself on helping independent tire retailers expand and grow their businesses by offering over twenty brands of tires at extremely competitive prices and providing exceptional service. The company's strength lies in its long-standing relationships with manufacturers and a customer-first philosophy. With nine locations and more in the pipeline, Tire’s Warehouse is committed to making business seamless and easy for their customers. Garrett Webb, who joined the company in 2005, has been instrumental in managing the company's business and logistics operations for 15 years.
The Challenge
Tire’s Warehouse Incorporated, a leading tire wholesaler in California, was facing significant challenges with its inventory control, warehouse performance levels, and space utilization across multiple locations. The company, which boasts over 19,000 SKUs and a growing number of locations, was struggling to manage the increasing transaction volume with their existing system. The situation was further complicated by the need to maintain high levels of customer service, a cornerstone of the company's philosophy. Garrett Webb, the Logistics Manager, recognized that the existing system was inadequate for the company's growing needs and that the only way to continue delivering exceptional service was through the effective use of technology. The challenge was to find a system that could streamline operations, improve inventory accuracy, and integrate smoothly with their existing Navision ERP system.
The Solution
After evaluating several systems and consulting with other tire dealers, Tire’s Warehouse Incorporated decided to implement the WISE Tire Warehouse Manager System across all their locations. The WISE system was configured to align with the unique business rules of Tire’s Warehouse. All levels of end-users, from Order Management to Warehouse Operators, were trained on the new system. The implementation also involved coordinating pre-go-live inventory and bin location assignment for nearly 600,000 square feet of warehouse space across nine locations. Additionally, the implementation included the setup of wireless access points, RF Readers, and other peripherals to support day-to-day WMS operations. The WISE system was integrated with the company's existing Navision ERP system, with Royal 4 working closely with the Tire’s Warehouse IT team to ensure a smooth transition.
Operational Impact
  • The implementation of the WISE Tire Warehouse Manager System has significantly improved the operations at Tire’s Warehouse Incorporated. The system has enhanced how tires are received, put away, picked, and staged for delivery, leading to more efficient operations. The improved inventory accuracy has helped the company better serve its customers and meet high volume demands. The system's successful integration with the existing Navision ERP system has ensured continuity in operations. The 24x7 support provided by Royal 4 has also been instrumental in the smooth running of the system. The WISE system has not only increased profit and inventory efficiencies but also improved employee performance at every level.
