Kingsway Tyres, which recently became part of the Lodge Tyre Group, is committing significant investment in CAM technologies in addition to its already sizeable participation in the e-jobsheet tablet platform in order to take advantage of an integrated systems approach which maximises customer interaction, increases business efficiency and accuracy, whilst also housing a highly dynamic data repository for information dissemination.

The investment incorporates CAM’s UniSerV platform, Online Tyre Catalogue (OTC) and CAMEO systems.  The technologies will enable Kingsway to streamline its business functions while leveraging the power of product and transactional data to deliver efficiencies and present incremental business opportunities.  

 Martin O’Brien, managing director of Kingsway Tyres, says, "Data connectivity is key.  We decided to go with the commercial service provider’s system of choice, UniSerV, and other CAM technologies, as they are widely known in the industry to provide scalable, versatile and connected solutions that help tyre businesses adapt to changing environments.  Our main business objective is to ensure that we increase efficiencies and profitability, and gain greater control over the customer-facing aspects of our operations."

South-West based commercial service provider Barry Shaddick is graduating its position from stand-alone e-jobsheet user with a fully integrated solution based on the UniSerV platform from CAM.

The investment marks the next step in the tyre dealer’s systems development, which will provide greater professionalism and connectivity to support its tyre service work across its commercial depots.

The company will enjoy time savings and efficiencies when tyre service jobs are launched in near real time to its mobile fitters using e-jobsheet, the open-access, cloud-based job management platform as well as full transparency of the job data for stock and billing purposes.

Barry Shaddick, managing director of Barry Shaddick, says, “As a stand-alone e-jobsheet user for the past 18 months we have seen the significant presentation and accuracy benefits this open-architecture, digital tablet-based work exchange for truck, bus and van can deliver.  It was only natural that we would move to a more integrated and connected approach with CAM, driven by its proven UniSerV platform.”

Independent tyre dealer Selecta Tyre Ltd is future proofing its business by investing in CAM Cloud to host its Cameo system in CAM’s data centre.  The managed service will provide quality, hassle-free maintenance of Selecta’s server and backup solution across its 15 depots and 40 users.

Nick Henshall, joint managing director at Selecta Tyre, says, “The CAM Cloud hosted solution provides complete ease and peace of mind.  We wanted to ensure our IT infrastructure is secure and of the highest standards reassuring our customers that we have their best interests at heart at all times.”
