What is an inventory website?
It is a website your team uses to record and look up what your business holds. We build your business workspace, host it and give you its web address. Your team signs in, adds items, updates locations and quantities, and searches the same records. You need an internet connection; this is not an offline desktop app.
Is this tire inventory software or tire storage software?
Both workflows are available. Tire inventory tracks the tires you hold for sale by SKU, size, condition, quantity and location. Customer storage tracks a tagged set with its owner, vehicle, storage period, location and storage-fee status. General items such as parts and supplies have their own inventory records.
What does CAD $499 setup + CAD $199/month include?
The starter service covers one business at one location using our existing inventory workflows. Setup includes your business workspace and site address, configuration of the agreed fields and labels, a review of your starting records, and a staff walkthrough. The monthly service covers managed hosting, maintenance and support for the agreed system. Any data cleanup, custom feature development or external integrations are quoted separately.
How do I cancel the monthly service?
Email michael@normandinsystems.com before your next renewal to stop future renewals. We confirm your final access date and record export arrangements. Export your records while the service is active. Setup-work charges and any refunds are governed by our service terms and applicable law.
When am I charged and when will my website be ready?
The first payment is CAD $698 before applicable tax: CAD $499 setup plus the first CAD $199 month. The subscription then renews at CAD $199/month. Billing starts at checkout; the site is set up after onboarding, not instantly. We confirm the delivery schedule after reviewing your workflow, data and access requirements. If you have a required launch date or need custom work, contact us before paying.
What does “my own inventory website” mean?
Your business gets its own site address and workspace with records separated from other businesses, operated by Normandin Systems as a managed service. It does not mean an exclusive software licence, transfer of the underlying source code, or a one-time purchase of perpetual hosting. A separately purchased domain or a source-code agreement would need to be discussed.
Can we import our spreadsheet and export our records?
The existing system supports inventory import and export. We review a sample of your spreadsheet and agree the field mapping and format during onboarding. The starter setup includes that review; substantial cleanup or a custom migration is quoted before work. We also confirm the export format, staff access, backup schedule, retention and restore process in the setup scope.
Can I use a barcode scanner or print QR labels?
The existing workflows include QR and barcode lookup, check-in/check-out, and individual or batch labels. Tell us which phones, scanners, label sizes and printers you use so we can check the setup. Hardware and label supplies are not included, and compatibility with every device is not assumed.
Will it connect to my accounting system, POS or online store?
Those integrations are not included in the starter plan. Storage-fee tracking records whether a fee has been paid; it is not an integrated payment processor or full accounting system. Tell us which systems need to connect and we will scope any additional work before you commit to it.
Can a business other than a tire shop use it?
Yes, when the existing general inventory workflow fits: item categories, part numbers or barcodes, quantities, locations and notes. Tire shops are the strongest starting point because the software was built around their daily work. Multi-location warehousing, manufacturing, regulated inventory and complex purchasing need a separate discussion.
Is the software already used by real businesses?
Yes. We built the original tire inventory and storage tool for Pneus Empire and Northstar Auto, and both continue to use it regularly. This offer adapts those existing workflows for another business. The illustration on this page is sample data, not a view of either customer’s private system.
Can you help a shop in Canada or the United States?
Yes. Normandin Systems is based in Quebec and works with businesses in Canada and the United States. Prices on this page are in Canadian dollars. We confirm your workflow, staff access and any location-specific requirements during onboarding.
