Customers buying tires often ask about more than size and model. They also want to know when the tire was produced.
For a tire retailer, this means that one product may have stock from different production years. A total warehouse balance is not enough—the sales team needs to know which years are available and how many tires belong to each one.
Battery sales bring another type of transaction. A customer may return an old battery when buying a new one, so the business needs to record both what it sold and what it received.
“RBM Tires” uses “Edara” to manage these details and keep product, warehouse, sales, and accounting records connected.
A Business Where Product Details Matter
“RBM Tires” sells car tires, batteries, and selected automotive accessories through its branches in Cairo and Alexandria. It also provides tire services such as installation.
The company serves both retail and wholesale customers. Its daily work includes direct sales, larger wholesale orders, credit sales, returns, and services sold alongside products.
In this type of business, similar products can differ in important details. Tire size, model, tread pattern, and production year all help the sales team identify the right product for the customer.
Checking Production Years Across Branches
The same tire can be available in different production years and across more than one branch. A single total balance would not show the team which production years are available, where they are located, or how many tires remain from each one.
“RBM Tires” uses batch numbers in “Edara” to separate these quantities. Each batch records the tire’s production year and maintains its own warehouse balance from the moment the tires are received.
The team can also view batch balances across branches, making it easier to check which production years are available at each location before completing a sale.
This gives the sales team a clearer view of availability. They can identify the correct batch, confirm the tire’s production year, and see where it is available instead of relying on one combined balance.
Recording Used Batteries as Items Received
When a customer buys a new battery, they may hand in an old one in return for a value agreed with the store.
Treating that value only as a discount would leave part of the transaction unrecorded. The business has received a used battery, and that battery should appear in the warehouse.
With “Edara”, “RBM Tires” records the used battery as a purchase, allowing it to enter the warehouse as an item. The new battery is recorded separately at its full selling price.
The financial records also show the amount paid for the used battery and the amount collected for the new one. This keeps both sides of the transaction clear: what the business received and what it sold.
Handling Retail, Wholesale, and Installation Services
“RBM Tires” manages different types of sales in “Edara”, including retail, wholesale, and credit transactions.
Installation work is recorded as a service item, so it can appear with the tires or batteries included in the same transaction. The team can also follow returns and warehouse movements while keeping each one connected to its original document.
This allows products and services to stay within the same sales cycle instead of being recorded through separate processes.
Giving Each Branch Its Own Receipt
The sales receipt is also part of the customer experience. “RBM Tires” uses a separate receipt template for each branch.
Each receipt includes a QR code for the branch location and another for customer reviews. Customers can use the receipt to return to the branch location or leave feedback after receiving the service.
The receipt therefore supports more than transaction records. It also connects the customer with the branch after the sale.
Clear Details from the Warehouse to the Customer
For “RBM Tires”, managing tires and batteries is not only about knowing the total quantity available.
The production year separates one tire batch from another. A used battery received from a customer creates its own warehouse and financial movement. Installation services and branch receipts add further details to the same transaction.
With “Edara”, these details remain connected throughout the sales cycle—from receiving and identifying the product to completing the sale and issuing the branch receipt.
