EDIWheel is :

• Designed based on real needs

• A proven and pragmatic solution in the tyre business across Europe

• Based on latest open technology: reduces significantly IT investments

• Real time, Simple & easy to develop, cost reductions=> ROI

• Scalable / adaptable

Design based on realityEDIWheel´s objectives

• The EDIWheel philosophy is based on a common

understanding of tyre business economics. It´s

important to interpret the content and to use the

processes in the same way.

• The main objective of the EDIWHEEL is to improve

the business not to develop software tools.

• EDIWheel supports article and price information

and the business chain beginning with inquiries to

quote, orders and confirmation, ending with

delivery notes and invoices. Additionally some

tracking information and status reports.

• EDIWheel offers the common message structures

and the content , but it does not restrict the design

of an IT application.

Design based on realityEDIWheel : European Standard

• EDIWheel is accepted in more 10 than European markets. AT, BE, CH, CZ, DE, DK, FR, NO, FI, SE, ...

• Ca. 10,000 tyre dealer depots are participating in these business processes.

• In 2008 alone in Germany, more than 8 million tyres were ordered by EDIWheel messages. The market share is different, from less than 10 % to more than 70 %

• No EDIWheel at all

•Very few EDIWheel customers

•Some car dealer channels but not

much tyre dealers

•Mix of car dealer and tyre dealers

but far from the potential

•Very strong roll out
