PITTSBURG, Pa. -- Somerset Tire Service Inc. (STS), a Bound Brook, N.J.-based multi-location, multi-state tire and auto service firm, has selected Signal Extraprise for the implementation of tire and auto service IT solutions
       
STS is one of the largest independent tire and automotive service companies in the Northeast, with more than 115 retail locations throughout New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania. Deployment of Signal Extraprise solutions throughout the network is the result of a contract awarded earlier this year.
       
In announcing the new agreement, Michael Cardali, VP of information technology at STS, said, “We conducted a thorough search of the tire and automotive service information technology systems and determined that Signal Extraprise solutions were the superior choice for our store operations. Naturally a concern of ours, and part of our decision process, was to weigh the advantages of a new system against the risk and effort of orchestrating a smooth transition. However, after the first few months of our partnership with the Signal Extraprise team, I am somewhat relieved and impressed that the first phase of this project is moving forward in a timely and efficient manner thanks to their professionalism, expertise and positive attitude. They are demonstrating every day that they are up to the task of tailoring their solutions to our needs and to other challenges such as data integration with both new and existing systems as we work toward the ultimate rollout.”
       
Cardali continued, “STS has taken pride in providing quality tires, exceptional automotive service, and superior value to its customers for over 50 years, and we plan to further enhance that commitment by leveraging the power of Signal Extraprise solutions to improve operational efficiency, increase store traffic, build sales through intelligence-based recommendations and provide branch management with tools to expedite store-level reporting.”
       
Signal Extraprise President and CEO A.J. McKenna added, “The solutions to the very real business challenges of tire and auto service firms are integral design elements of the revolutionary eXceed-Retail, which raises the bar of aftermarket technology. Years in development, we have now unveiled the results of our labor and are delighted to have been selected by the well-known and respected Somerset Tire Service to implement our best-in-class technology solutions.”
