Tyres, consumables, suppliers and purchase orders in one place.
Run the buying side of your garage from AutoChain. Keep tyre and consumable stock across your warehouses, manage your suppliers, raise purchase orders from a job's parts, search Group Tyre stock at your own trade prices and keep a Shopify store's parts in sync.
Parts on the job card are only half the story. Behind them sit the tyres in the rack, the valves and wheel weights in the drawer, the suppliers you ring every day and the orders you're waiting on. AutoChain brings that together. Keep tyre and consumable stock by warehouse, with the stock value at a glance, and add tyres by uploading a photo or PDF of the supplier invoice rather than typing each one. Keep a record of every supplier, generate purchase orders from the parts on a job, grouped by supplier, and track each order until it's received. If you buy from Group Tyre, search their stock by size to see your own trade prices and depot availability. And if you sell parts online, sync your parts, prices and stock levels with your Shopify store.

Stock & Suppliers: common questions
Straight answers to what garages ask us about this feature.
Is tyre stock management included?
Yes. Parts and tyre stock management are included in the core plan at £69.99/mo + VAT.
Which tyre wholesalers does AutoChain connect to?
Group Tyre. Once your account is linked, you can search their stock by size to see your own trade cost prices and depot stock. Request the connection from your integration settings.
Can I order tyres from Group Tyre inside AutoChain?
Not yet. The Group Tyre search shows your trade prices and stock so you can quote quickly, and you place the order with Group Tyre as usual.
What does the Shopify integration sync?
Parts. You can import Shopify products as parts, and AutoChain pushes titles, descriptions, prices and stock levels for each location back to Shopify. Orders are not synced.
Can I email a purchase order to a supplier?
You can download each purchase order as a PDF, or several as a zip, to send to your supplier. Orders are tracked from draft and issued to part received and received.
