Photographs of tyre damage can be stored within entire and printed out along with the tyre history record for manufacturer appraisal. Powerful and fast System configuration Fully Audited entire is audited, tracking every addition or adjustment made in the system and marking each change with the user s name, date and time. This discourages people with access to the system from falsely modifying the data within it. An accurate audit trail is also vital for the integrity of the system and to satisfy the audit requirements of your organisation. entire utilises the Microsoft SQL Server Database and is fully expandable from a single user system to a large centralised multi-site, multi-user implementation with hundreds of online users. entire databases can contain multiple sites with gigabytes of information. Easily configurable entire allows you define every aspect of your system including scrap reasons, tyre sizes, repair types, users, tread and pressure units, distance units etc. Full tyre audit trail of changes and additions Software 2

4 Password Protected and Secure entire is fully password protected ensuring that unauthorised entry into entire extremely difficult. powerful and efficient user interface (Wheel Action Centre) Comprehensive tyre histories entire records a comprehensive history of each tyre used in your operations.

User friendly, drag drop interface tyre on the screen will display a full technical and operational history. Breakdown of tyre life The life of each tyre is tracked throughout each transport operation and fitment to vehicles. Operational time on each vehicle, position and location is calculated. is operated by dragging tyres on and off vehicles and between locations using a A full life breakdown of each tyre Wheel Action Centre (data entry screen) Software 3

5 Extensive and powerful reporting Retread Analysis entire can track a retread using two methods which include: Tracking a single casing and multiple retreads through the life of the casing Treading a retread as a new tyre and only tracking the life of that single retread.

All access to your tyre information is managed by your internal operations with the assistance of entire Technical Support. entire Retreading Factory Management System Often large transport operations run their own retread factory. entire Retreading is a version of entire Tyre Management System that has been specifically designed to manage retreading factory operations. The system tracks individual tyres throughout the factory process using RFID Tags. Tyres are logged in and out of each station, while updating a central information store so the factory processes can be monitored and controlled from a central location. Multiple factories can be connected and controlled by the system with large wall displays of each station and process. This unique software will allow a single factory to process multiple brand/grade retreads, based on the quality of casings it receives. Screen displays and input at each station is linked to a central system that centralises and monitors every aspect of a retreading factory.
