Designed to help trucking fleets better manage their tire assets, Revolution TMS from Squarerigger Software takes electronic readings of both tread depth and tire pressure using a “Kwik-Check” tire probe and sends them wirelessly to “The Inspector,” the company’s wireless handheld PC.
The inspector also has a built-in barcode scanner for easy tire identification. This information is transmitted wirelessly directly to the customer’s database. The back-end software system uses a simple drag-and-drop interface to track tire costs (from purchase to disposal), tire locations on vehicles, tire movement, cost per mile, even cost per 32nd. A reports system generates detailed reports in seconds, the company added.
