The Number of Vehicles in Traffic Increases, Tire Manufacturers Have Difficulties Meeting the Demands

When comparing 2019 and 2021, which covers the pre-pandemic period, it is seen that the number of cars in traffic has increased by 5,35%.

Changing habits in social life in 2020, when the pandemic prevails, continues in 2021. Transportation preferences come first. According to TURKSTAT data, the number of cars in traffic increased by 2021% to 2019 million 5,35 thousand 13 since 172, which covers the pre-pandemic period as of January 111. The total number of vehicles in traffic increased by 2019% compared to 4,74, reaching 24 million 256 thousand 741. This picture, in which the tendency to rent a car and use personal vehicles due to the risk of contamination is effective, has also increased the demands for tire replacement for reasons such as safety and fuel savings. Tire suppliers, on the other hand, started to have difficulties in controlling the operations and expenses and meeting the demands.

Digital transformation is a must

Making an assessment on the subject, Kayhan Akartuna, founder of the domestic tire warehouse and business management system Lastsis, said, “The most basic deficit we see in the tire industry is that there are still deficiencies in providing professional service to customers. Digital transformation, which we witnessed gaining momentum in many sectors during the pandemic process, is no longer a choice but a necessity for the tire industry to catch up with the future. "Using smart technologies that allow remote management of processes such as income-expense tracking, fleet customer management, business network, dealer, and assembly point management will remove the barriers in front of the industry."

It is possible to remotely manage the entire operation

Stating that they digitized the operation processes for all the players in the sector with the software they developed, Kayhan Akartuna said, “As Lastsis, we offer innovative and innovative solutions in line with the needs of the sector on this road we set out as a tire warehouse and business management system.

In this way, users can manage their products and services themselves, and control all the operations they perform using a computer, tablet or mobile phone, over the system compatible with all devices, through administrator reports. Finally, with the innovations we have added to the system, besides features such as product and service analysis pages, customer and vehicle service and purchase history, instant notification; We offer customer current account, appointment, fleet, business network / dealer / assembly point and product stock warehouse management services, ”he said.
