TireStamp Inc. has released its upgraded, cloud-based TireVigil Servicing app with features designed for commercial tire dealers who provide services to TireVigil TPMS-equipped fleets. These features enable servicing dealers “to have information on tire problems way in advance of their failure so that they can plan and schedule service, respond quickly, efficiently, and with the right equipment before sending out technicians and service trucks,” according to the company.
Since TireVigil TPMS products have been built to meet the TPMS 2.0 standard and incorporate wireless technologies that provide remote diagnostics for tires, emergency road service call centers can be alerted to tire problems as they develop, in addition to providing the vehicle location and the specific actions to take in resolving these problems.
Because of this, “in most cases vehicles with problem tires can be routed to a tire dealer’s location for service rather than waiting on the side of the road for service after a tire has failed,” TireStamp added.
The app provides the type of tires on each vehicle, highlights the specific alert issues and the actions that should be taken to correct these problems. This visibility enables dealers to allocate their technicians and service trucks more efficiently and respond with the appropriate service in a more timely fashion, the company said.
