Tyre Management
Tyre management that follows every tyre from purchase to scrap
Tyres are one of the largest controllable costs in a truck fleet and one of the least controlled. Gonyeti records each tyre by serial number and tracks where it is fitted, how far it has run and what happened to it.
What is a tyre management system?
A tyre management system records each tyre as an individual asset: its serial number, size, supplier, cost and warranty, which vehicle and wheel position it is fitted to, the odometer reading when it went on and came off, and whether it was retreaded, transferred or scrapped.
In Gonyeti, tyre management is part of the wider fleet management system, so tyre records sit alongside the horse or trailer, its trips, its maintenance history and its costs.
The problem
Why tyre costs get away from transport companies
Most fleets know what they spent on tyres last month. Very few know which tyres, on which trucks, delivered the kilometres they paid for.
No serial-number history
Tyres are bought in batches and fitted wherever they are needed. Once on a truck, the purchase record and the tyre stop being connected.
Swaps nobody records
Tyres move between axles, horses and trailers during rotations, breakdowns and roadside repairs. Without a record, mileage per tyre is guesswork.
Retreads that disappear
Casings sent for retreading come back, or don't. Without tracking, you cannot tell whether a retread programme is saving money.
Warranty claims missed
Premature failures are only claimable if you can prove the fitment date and mileage. Paper records rarely survive long enough.
Theft and substitution
Good tyres swapped for worn ones are hard to detect when nobody records serial numbers at each position.
Cost per km unknown
Without mileage per tyre, buying decisions are made on purchase price rather than cost per kilometre.
How Gonyeti solves it
Every tyre is an asset with a position and a history
Gonyeti registers tyres when they are purchased or received into stores, with serial number, size (width, aspect ratio and rim diameter), tread depth, supplier, cost and warranty expiry.
When a tyre is fitted, it is assigned to a specific horse, trailer or vehicle, axle and position, with the odometer reading at fitment. When it comes off, the closing odometer is recorded, so the kilometres it ran in that position are calculated rather than estimated.
- Tyres stocked in stores and issued through requisitions
- Fitment by vehicle, axle and wheel position
- Starting and ending odometer per fitment
- Retread batches tracked out and back
- Transfers between vehicles, stores and branches
- Depreciation and residual value per tyre
Capabilities
Tyre management capabilities in Gonyeti
- Tyre register
- Each tyre has a unique number and serial number, size, type, tread depth, expected life, supplier, purchase cost and warranty expiry date.
- Axle and position fitment
- Assign tyres to a horse, trailer or vehicle by axle and position. See the full tyre layout of any unit at a glance.
- Mileage per tyre
- Odometer readings at fitment and removal give kilometres run per tyre and per position, including across several vehicles.
- Purchases and stock
- Tyre purchases, goods received, requisitions from the workshop and dispatch from stores, with stock levels per store.
- Retread management
- Send casings for retreading in batches, track them with the retreader and receive them back as retreaded tyres with their own history.
- Transfers and disposals
- Move tyres between stores, branches and vehicles, and record disposal when a tyre reaches the end of its life.
- Depreciation
- Tyre cost is depreciated over its expected life or mileage, giving a residual value and a true cost per kilometre.
- Workshop and stores link
- Tyres are requisitioned from stores by the workshop and fitted against a specific unit, so tyre cost lands on the right horse or trailer.
- Tyre reports and exports
- Tyre lists, assignment history per horse and per trailer, and exports to Excel for analysis.
Inside Gonyeti
How tyres are managed in Gonyeti
Fitment
See which tyre is on which wheel
Open any horse or trailer and see every fitted tyre by axle and position, with the date fitted and the odometer at fitment. When a tyre is moved, the old assignment closes and a new one opens, so its mileage carries across.
- Assignment history per unit
- Exportable tyre layout per horse and trailer
Retreads
Know where every casing is
Casings are dispatched for retreading as a batch. Gonyeti tracks the batch with the retreader, records what comes back, and keeps the retreaded tyre linked to its original history so you can judge whether retreading pays.
- Retread batches with documents
- Retreaded tyres keep their history
Typical workflow
From purchase to disposal
-
01
Purchase and receive
Tyres are bought from a supplier and received into a store with serial numbers, cost and warranty.
-
02
Requisition and fit
The workshop requisitions tyres and fits them to a horse or trailer, recording axle, position and odometer.
-
03
Rotate and transfer
Rotations, swaps and transfers close one assignment and open another, keeping mileage continuous.
-
04
Retread or dispose
Worn casings go for retreading or are disposed of, closing the tyre's record with its total kilometres.
Why it matters
What tyre control gives a transport business
Buy on cost per km, not price
Kilometres per tyre by brand and supplier show which tyres actually cost less to run.
Fewer unexplained replacements
Every removal is recorded with its mileage, so tyres that fail early stand out.
Stronger warranty claims
Fitment date, position and mileage are on record when a tyre fails before it should.
Deterrent to theft
Serial numbers recorded at each position make swapped tyres visible during inspections.
