Called Goodyear SightLine, the solution will initially be available in Europe and North America, and later this year Goodyear will also offer it to original equipment customers and emerging fleet and mobility providers.
CAM’s Online Tyre Catalogue (OTC) is playing a key role in linking ‘sharer dealers’ to the platform the Tyre Intelligence Europe (TIE) initiative. According to the company, the pivotal role the system is playing when it comes to accessing details down to the article level for brands, sizes and location of sale is becoming increasingly apparent.
CAM has announced it will sever its ties with the market research company GfK, coinciding with the emergence of the Tyre Intelligence Europe data platform. CAM will relinquish its role in extracting data provided by regional and independent dealers through the agency of its software systems on GfK’s behalf. The service to extract data from customer systems will cease at midnight on 31 March 2017.

Data is structured to distinguish clearly between consumer, van and 4×4 – delineating between retail and wholesale sources – an approach that also applies to truck and bus tyre sales.
Independent tyre industry specialist Kevin Glynn has been appointed consultant to the new Tyre Intelligence Europe data service. The platform is designed to deliver robust, speedy and insightful tyre sales data and reports for mainland UK and Northern Ireland “sharer” dealers and subscribers.
