How do we add value to your business?

Whether you're a manufacturer, a supplier of OEM products or a dealership owner, the following benefits highlight key reasons why implementing Tempus will work for your business:

• Virtually guarantees customer retention | your dealership is retaining the unused set of wheels for your customer, ensuring they return at least twice each year to switch over. This provides a valuable opportunity for you to communicate and continue strengthening your customer relationships.
• New revenue stream | complimenting your existing service with a tire storage facility introduces a new avenue to income for your business. Charge your customers for removing the hassle of tire storage, then enjoy strong profit margins and increased sales from associated services.
• Staying positive | our 'pay as you go' model ensures you are making money before you pay us for use of our system. We don't begin to charge until you are storing tires, so unless you're offering the service to customers for free, you're never paying out more than you've already collected in revenue.
• No minimum term | you sign up in the knowledge that if it doesn't work out, you are not tied in to a fixed term contract. We don't expect it to happen, but should you decide that our service isn't for you, we simply ask for 30 days notice.
• Customer satisfaction | adding this provision to your suite of services provides a hassle-free solution for motorists. With the increasing demand for winter tire purchases, you can now offer a streamlined, cost effective, all-round solution resulting in unburdened, happy customers and increased referrals.
• Increased traffic & sales | having your customers return every six months results in addition footfall through your doors; customers passing your showroom and considering a new purchase. Monitoring the condition of tires and wheels ensures you can inform your customers of the need for replacements during the changeover process, as well as alignment, tracking and balancing.

If you're charged with ensuring your after sales operation runs smoothly and compliments vehicle sales, our system will help you make that happen. Here are some key operational benefits you can expect:

• Improved efficiency | whether you have an existing process in place or are new to seasonal tire storage, our system, knowledge and guidance will ensure your operation is efficient, accurate and informed. This reduces mistakes and operational pressure for your team during the busy period.
• Competitive advantage | whether they have purchased cars from you or not, you will be keen to see new customers visit your service centre. Offering a hassle-free tire storage solution is an attractive value-added service for motorists who will be drawn to your dealership rather than your competitors.
• Upselling & cross selling | this service is an ideal platform for increasing sales. Take advantage of your additional customer visits by highlighting new models and in-store promotions, offering servicing or other maintenance related products or selling new, perhaps improved tires and rims while they wait!
• Easy to use | we appreciate that employees are often used to a particular way of working. Our system offers the perfect blend of service improvement and operational simplicity for your team. Clear, user friendly interfaces on the handheld device and online system make using it simple for all.
• Increased customer satisfaction | this benefit spans both business and operational focus. Keeping your customers happy leads to repeat business, referrals and a reputation money can't buy. Offering this efficient, value-added service will make their experience and your bottom line positive.
• DMS integration | the Tempus system is designed to compliment your existing Dealer Management System; much like a bolt-on module. We link with the industry leading systems to ensure the transfer of data from your DMS into our system is seamless and hassle-free, preventing you from having to enter data twice or miss important customer appointments.

Ultimately, tire storage is about providing a benefit to your customers. The following key benefits highlight how your customers will prosper by you offering this service:

• Hassle-free and cheap | pitching this service at the correct price will attract interest from motorists looking for a low cost solution to the 'necessary evil' of tire storage. Customers will simply arrive, wait and drive away with the right set fitted, knowing their unused wheels are cared for.
• Safe and secure | whether you decide to store customer tires onsite or in an off-site facility, you can provide reassurance that their valuable property is being cared for, most likely in a more secure environment than their own home! Plus, the condition of their tires is also checked in the meantime.
• Simple, one-stop service | for most owners, the prospect of having their vehicle prepared for the season in one quick, effortless visit to the shop is appealing. Adding this service makes it easier for your customers and by grouping together tire swapping with servicing, more efficient for you.
• More space | not all vehicle owners have the space and security required to store their own valuable tire sets. By providing this service, you remove this concern for your customers, freeing up space in their homes - ideal for most!
• No damage | customers that currently provide their own storage for unused sets have the added frustration of transporting their tires. Not only must they find space, but they risk damaging the interior of their vehicle as well as themselves when carrying dirty, heavy wheels. You can remove this burden.
• Elderly & impaired | elderly customers or those with disabilities will find this service a must, removing the need to worry about moving the tire sets themselves. Perhaps offering to provide this service as part of a wider mobility program will add further incentive for customers to buy from your dealership.
