A Real-World Look at Mobile Tire Scanning in Action For a better picture of how mobile tire reading can transform tire retail, read this compelling use case study Discount Tire the world’s largest independent retailer of tires and wheels. “We pride ourselves on delivering customers the highest quality tire service and products to help keep them safe on the road. Our new tire inspection solution is a game-changer for our people and will help further our assurance to our customers that we are taking care of their safety by providing the best possible service and most accurate tire readings.” Tom Williams, Chief Experience Officer, Discount Tire How Discount Tire Performs 5 Second Tire Inspections Every day, thousands of Americans rely on Discount Tire to provide them the very best retail experience at one of their 1,100 stores. As an industry-leader, Discount Tire wanted to ensure their technicians had the latest technology on hand to deliver an unrivaled tire inspection process. But like most retailers, their technicians still used a pen and paper to record each DOT code and manually measured 12 different spots to understand tread depth during each inspection. To automate these processes, Discount Tire partnered with Anyline and Zebra Technologies to develop an industry-first tire inspection mobile computing solution. Now, Discount Tire technicians can complete an assessment typically in under five seconds per tire. Technicians simply swipe each tire to check for tread depth and scan the DOT code with the tool’s camera in real-time, enabling them to assist more customers, reduce wait times, and provide a more positive customer experience. 16
