Budini TIre Management System (BTMS)
The Budini Tire Management System is a highly specialized, professional, full tire management system. It tracks a tire from the moment of acquisition to scrapping and every step in between. It will report on everything from tire performance, cost-per-mile, ranks best performers for product/application, inventory needs, and much more. This system requires tires to be uniquely identified (branding, rubberized labels, radio chips or a combination of these methods). Budini TMS easily integrates with other fleet systems.
Budini TMS is available in different editions, and levels:
Truck Center - for companies that outsource tire management and services to many small and medium fleets
Mining / OTR - for mining companies or companies that use OTR tires, that also use TMPH or TKPH as basis for performance.
Mileage Contracts - for companies that outsource tires in other companies and bill per mile, kilometer or hour.
To find out which edition is right for your company please visit the Budini TMS Editions page.
