Clive Amos purchased the tyre business in 1985 and supply tyres and custom rubber fabrications.

He has a loyal customer base they have developed over the past twenty years.

 

The tyre industry was very different in 1985 when Clive Amos and Paddy Morresey purchased Tyre Savers in Hamilton.  Part of the purchase included a rubber molding plant which was used to retread tyres, make engine mounts, rubber bushes  and other rubber products.

The tyre retreading has long since gone, but the specilised rubber fabrication plant is still used for other processes.

Clive has developed a good relationship with his clients because of his great skill levels and the ability to supply any of their rubber product needs.

Because of the wide range of product it was important for Clive to have a program that was flexible enough to handle all of his invoicing and recording information.

 "I needed a program that was easy to use."

Clive has been humble over the years about his computer skills, so it was also important that he had good support in the operation of the computer and the backup for any problems that may occur.

 

 

We are able to support Clive's system mostly by phone, but also using PC Anywhere through the internet and occasional site visits.

We were able to build an invoicing system without customising the code,  that was clear information for the customer, that was flexible enough for Clive and his staff to use.

"The correct choice of tyre for your vehicle use is very important."

Because of the long history Clive has with his customers, he has been able to keep detailed records of their purchases over the years, which has been important when recommending replacement tyres for their trucks and cars. After all, the

wise choice of tyre for your vehicle is a major safety issue. By chosing the correct tyre for your vehicle use, will ensure less tyre wear and therefore less cost for the customer, in replaced tyres.

"We like to keep a docket book for invoicing because we can carry it round the workshop with us."
 

Clive opted for manually entering the invoice number (from the docket book) rather than an automatic invoice number generation.
 

We converted the accounts from "balance Forward" to "Open Item" when we transferred the program to the Windows version. This has resulted in better account management.
