Tire Distributors
Authorized tire distributors are invited to post their manufacturer-authorized tire inventory on D2DLink, the Internet-based OE replacement parts procurement tool used hundreds of thousands of times each day by thousands of auto dealerships across the U.S. With tires added to the parts assortment, dealerships can purchase distributor tires as needed – hot shot orders, or set tire replenishment levels so orders are created automatically or manually.
D2DLink's Tire Replenishment Tool
OVERVIEW
Tire Replenishment Tool provides the opportunity for tire distributors and dealers to develop a tailored stocking guide. Both dealers and tire distributors can streamline their tire ordering and tire fulfillment processes using this automated system. TRT is efficient, accurate, convenient and easy to use. TRT provides subscribing authorized tire distributors with increased tire sales when an auto dealer sets them up as their supply point and provides dealerships with easier and faster tire ordering, all leading to increased customer satisfaction.
BENEFITS
Tire Replenishment Tool can be an important revenue-enhancing tool for tire distributors. Receive consistent tire orders from auto dealership customers when they choose you as the supply point for specific tire models. Proactively order tires needed by your dealership customers by matching your inventory to dealer needs, thus increasing tire sales opportunities. With the ability to view auto dealer tire inventory, distributors can initiate calls to auto dealers for needed orders thus providing them with better service and improving the efficiency of distributor daily delivery routes. Dealers are prompted through Tire Replenishment Tool features and alerts to replenish low tire inventory helping to provide tire distributors with steady tire sales and reduce costly "emergency" deliveries. Receive orders from dealers early in the morning by using the Auto Order feature to help improve the efficiency of daily delivery routes. Distributors can become a dealer's supply point for specific tire models to help ensure consistent tire sales from dealers solidifying auto dealer and distributor relationships!
