Two workflows.
One useful system.
Receive tire stock by SKU, or register a customer’s stored tire set with one tag and a storage fee. General items have their own category, barcode or part number, unit label, and quantity.

Custom operational software that brings tire stock, customer storage, and general inventory into one shared tool—with scanning, labels, valuation, and the details a busy shop needs.

SPECIFIC WORK. SPECIFIC FUNCTIONALITY.More context.
More context.
At every step.
A tire for sale, a customer’s winter set, and a box of supplies need different information. This system makes room for those differences.
Two workflows.
Keep the details
behind the decision.
Record brand, model, size, season, and condition, with tread readings in 32nds and millimetres, including four individual tire positions. Tire stock valuation supports tread-based CAD values, reference values, factors, adjustments, and manual pricing.
Keep the set
with its context.
Connect stored tires with customer and vehicle details, plate, rim type, inspection notes, and storage period. Track the storage fee and whether it has been paid, alongside the physical set.
Search the way
the shop works.
Look up an item by SKU, barcode, phone, plate, or QR link. Filter by inventory type, season, and condition, then sort by details such as rack, brand, tread, customer, or price.
A scan with
a clear action.
Use QR or barcode scanning for lookup, check-in, or check-out. Choose units per scan and, for customer storage, move a whole set together. Bay, rack, quantity, and notes keep location information with the item.
Give each item
a useful reference.
Print a single label or prepare labels in a batch. Tire-stock records and customer storage sets can carry a reference that supports the lookup and scanning workflow.
Know where it stands.
Keep the history.
Follow in-stock, ready, checked-out, and archived statuses. Bulk management can return fully checked-out items to stock or archive them while retaining their history.
Give the team
a common picture.
A shared staff inventory view shows connection status and an overview of stock, inventory value, checked-out items, and average tread. Import and export inventory data from the shared workspace.
FOLLOW THE ITEM, NOT A PILE OF NOTESFrom intake
From intake
to the next handoff.
The useful part is how the pieces fit together: a record, a location, a label, and a clear next action.
- 01 / INTAKE
Record the right details.
Start with tire stock, a customer storage set, or a general item. Add the information that belongs with it.
- 02 / ORGANIZE
Give it a place.
Set the bay or rack, add notes, and print the label that helps staff find the record again.
- 03 / FIND & MOVE
Look it up. Take action.
Search or scan, then look up the item, check units in or out, or move a customer set together.
- 04 / FOLLOW THROUGH
Keep the status clear.
Review what is ready, in stock, or checked out. Return items to stock or archive them with their history.
A PROJECT BUILT AROUND A REAL BUSINESSYour workflow
Your workflow
could be next.
Some businesses need storage records. Others need a parts tracker, a quoting tool, or a way to connect the information their team uses every day.
We build custom tools and automation from Quebec for businesses in Canada and the U.S. The starting point is the job your software needs to do.

What could we build for you?
What did you build for Pneus Empire and Northstar Auto?
We built custom operational software covering tire stock, customer tire storage, and general inventory. It supports intake, tire details and tread-based valuation, customer and vehicle context, storage fee tracking, search, QR and barcode scanning, check-in and check-out, labels, statuses, history, and an inventory overview.
Can it distinguish tire stock from a customer’s stored set?
Yes. Tire stock can be received as SKU-based inventory. Customer storage uses a set-based record with one tag, customer and vehicle information, a storage period, and storage fee tracking. The scan workflow also includes an option to move a whole customer set.
What can staff scan or search for?
The project supports QR and barcode scanning, along with lookup by SKU, barcode, phone, plate, or QR link. Scanning can be used for lookup only, check-in, or check-out, with a units-per-scan setting and a whole-set option for customer storage.
Can you build a similar tool for another business?
Yes. We can discuss software around your inventory, staff workflow, labels, customer records, and reporting needs. The capabilities on this page describe this specific project; your own system, integrations, access requirements, and pricing are scoped separately.
Is this a public app with a subscription price?
This page features a custom development project for Pneus Empire and Northstar Auto. To commission operational software for your business, send us your workflow and requirements for a project quote. Our free browser utilities are a separate offering.
Do you work with businesses in Canada and the United States?
Yes. Normandin Systems is based in Quebec and provides custom software development for Canadian and U.S. businesses. We define the workflow, data, currencies, access needs, and delivery scope for each project.
