Zoho DeskDepartment by department
How every department of a tyre dealers business works in Zoho
A tyre dealer sells car, truck and two-wheeler tyres to walk-in customers, fleets and sub-dealers, fits them in its own bays, and handles warranty claims with the tyre brand. In Zoho sales, fleet accounts, the fitment bay, stock and purchase, warranty claims, accounts and HR share one customer, vehicle and tyre record, so the size, DOT code and claim history of every tyre are in one place.
How the departments hand work to each other
Each arrow is a handover. Because every team works on the same Zoho records, the next department picks up the work without re-entering it.

What to expect when you start
A typical plan for a focused project of one to three apps. Larger scope or messy data takes longer; we confirm the timeline after discovery.
Week 1 to 2
Map and agree
We walk through your tyre dealers process from "Customers and fleets" to "Warranty", list the records and fields you really need, and agree the scope.
Week 3 to 4
Build the core
We configure Zoho CRM and Zoho Inventory with your stages, roles, approvals and templates.
Week 5 to 6
Connect and migrate
We clean and import your data, connect email, payments or other tools, and build the reports you will use every week.
Week 7 to 8
Test and go live
Your team tests with real cases, we train each role, and we cut over with a checklist.
Mistakes to avoid
- Copying the old spreadsheet column for column. Keep only the fields that help someone decide or act.
- Leaving out exceptions such as returns, changes and cancellations. Model them early so the team does not work around the system.
- No owner per stage. Name one person for "Customers and fleets" and one for "Warranty".
- Going live without checking reports against numbers you already trust.
A good first win
Start with the problem that hurts most: Size and brand stock is hard to see. Fixing one visible problem in the first month builds trust and adoption for everything after it.
What you can measure
- Stock turn
- Fleet collection days
- Claim turnaround
