Tyre hotel
Store customers' seasonal or spare tyre sets, know exactly which shelf they are on, and bill storage and changeovers through normal work orders.
The tyre hotel (shown as Tire Hotel in WRMS Pro) is for workshops that store customers' tyre or wheel sets between seasons. It records what you are holding, where it is, what condition it is in, and what needs doing before it goes back on the car.
When to use it
- You keep customers' second set of wheels on racks at the workshop.
- Technicians waste time hunting for the right set on changeover day.
- You want a dated record of tread depth and damage when a set arrives, in case of a dispute later.
Before you start
- The module is off by default. Switch it on in Settings → Tire hotel. The Tire Hotel menu item appears after that.
- Your plan must include the tyre hotel.
- Tire Hotel → Manage storage layout permission to set up your shelves.
Set up your storage
Describe your storage once, in your own words.
- Warehouses — a building or room. Most workshops have one; mark one as the default.
- Locations — a shelf, rack level, pallet or floor square, each with a short code (for example B-04-2) and a capacity in tyres.
Select Set up shelves from the Tire Hotel page, or open the storage layout. WRMS Pro shows how full each location is.
Check a set in
Look after stored sets
- Treatments — note work a set needs before it goes back on, such as washing, balancing, a TPMS service, new valves or a repair. Each one is marked pending, done or skipped, with who did it. The Needs prep tab lists sets with outstanding work.
- Measurements — add tread depth and pressure readings over time; the history shows wear between seasons.
- Move a set to another shelf; the move is recorded.
Check a set out
When the customer's changeover is due, check the set out. It is marked Returned and its shelf is freed. A work order or quote raised from the set tells the technician exactly which tyres to fit.
Plan the next season
The Next season page gives a forward look at the stored sets for the coming seasonal changeover, to help you plan bookings and bay time.
