Software Solutions for Tyre and Wheel E-commerce Sellers
A tyre is bought by size, load and speed rating, and it is often fitted by someone other than the seller. Online sellers need a search that finds the right size, stock counted by size and brand, a fitting booking and warranty details kept against the serial. Read on for the workflow, the weak points and the software that fits.
Sell tyres by size and fitment, with fitting, exchange and warranty on record.
Nobody browses tyres for pleasure. A buyer arrives with a vehicle, a size printed on a sidewall and a deadline, and leaves if the page cannot confirm that the tyre fits.
Most sellers also run a fitting bay or depend on partner fitters. A sale is therefore a product, an appointment, an old casing to collect and a warranty that starts at fitting.
Dealers with a fitting bay
A dealer lists the sizes it stocks, takes payment online and books the buyer into its own bay. Stock, fitting jobs and billing sit in one shop system.
Online sellers with partner fitters
A seller holds stock centrally, ships to a fitting partner chosen by the buyer and pays the partner a fitting fee. Two businesses touch one order.
Wheel and alloy specialists
A seller of alloys and steel wheels lists by vehicle, bolt pattern and finish, and often sells wheel and tyre together as a package.
Distributors serving fleets and dealers
A distributor sells cartons and sets of tyres to garages, fleets and sub-dealers on account, at rates agreed with each.
The workflow for tyres & wheels.
- 1
Finding the right size
The buyer enters a vehicle or reads a size from the sidewall. The catalogue shows the tyres that match, with load and speed rating beside each.
- 2
Choosing brand and pattern
Several brands and patterns fit one size at different prices. Stock counted per size and pattern tells the buyer what can be fitted this week.
- 3
Booking the fitting
The buyer picks a bay or partner and a time. The order carries the tyres and the fitting charge, with balancing and alignment added where chosen.
- 4
Fitting and old casings
The fitter records the tyres fitted against the vehicle number, notes the manufacture week and takes back old casings where an exchange was agreed.
- 5
Warranty and the next visit
The serial and fitting date are kept with the invoice. A claim, a rotation reminder or a replacement a few years on starts from that record.
- 6
Closing the order in the books
Tyre sales, fitting income and exchange credit reach the shop’s stock and accounts, so the website and the counter report one set of figures.
The challenges, and what they cost.
What is specific to this trade.
These are requirements we would confirm in discovery. They describe what the solution may need to handle. They are not features that already exist.
- Search by tyre size and by vehicle, with load and speed rating shown
- Stock counted by size, brand and pattern, with the manufacture week of what is on the rack
- Fitting slots that follow bay or partner capacity
- Serial numbers and fitting dates kept for warranty
- Rules for returning unused tyres and for tyres already fitted
- Credit accounts and rate lists for fleets and garages
What we would build for tyres & wheels.
Chosen from the commerce capabilities this business needs, not a list of everything.
Who works in the system, and what each can do.
What it would connect to.
An integration is confirmed only after its API, access and scope are checked. A connection that updates on a schedule is described as scheduled, not real-time.
- The shop’s tyre stock, fitting and billing system, such as GullySystem’s Tyre Shop Management Software
- An online payment gateway in your name, for card and UPI collection
- Purchase orders to distributors and brands, sent from the order list by file export at first
- Couriers able to carry bulky round parcels, after API access and rates are checked with each
- WhatsApp Business messages for booking and rotation reminders, after the account is approved
How the work runs, and what we need from you.
What you provide
- Your size list with brands, patterns and current rack counts
- How fitting, balancing and alignment are priced and booked
- Your shop or partner system, and what it can share
Settle the tyre record
We agree how a tyre is described, since every search, price and warranty record depends on size, pattern and serial.
Connect stock and fitting
Online orders are tied to the shop’s stock and bay calendar, then tried with sample bookings before customers use them.
Open with a few sizes
A short list of popular sizes goes live first, so counts on the website can be compared with the rack.
What you receive.
- A catalogue structure for size, load rating, brand and pattern
- A fitting booking flow with bay or partner calendars
- Order, exchange and warranty records tied to the serial
- Fleet and dealer ordering, where you sell to them
- A written guide and training sessions for the counter and the bay
How progress is judged.
Measures are agreed against your own baseline. We do not promise a result in advance.
- Orders cancelled because a size was out of stock
- Tyres returned because the size did not fit
- Warranty claims with the serial and invoice found on the first look

Questions about tyres & wheels e-commerce.
Does it replace the system in our tyre shop?
Not necessarily. Where the shop runs GullySystem’s Tyre Shop Management Software, the website is added on top of it. Other shop software is looked at first, to see what it can export.
Can the website confirm that a tyre fits my vehicle?
It can match a size and, where you hold vehicle data, a vehicle. The data comes from you or a supplier, and the buyer is still shown the size to check.
Can we sell tyres online and fit them elsewhere?
Yes, through partner fitters. Each partner’s booking, payment and settlement are set up and checked before that partner appears on the site.
Does the system decide warranty claims?
No. The maker decides. The system keeps the serial, the invoice and the inspection notes together and follows the claim to the decision.
