Tire Kingdom Launches DSS Point-of-Sale System in 165 Stores

    POMPANO BEACH, Fla.--Dec. 9, 1999--Dynamic Systems Solutions, Inc. (DSS), a leading provider of enterprise business applications solutions, today announced that Tire Kingdom has successfully integrated the DSS point-of-sale system in 165 stores throughout the southeast.
    Tire Kingdom, recognized for outstanding customer service, selected Dynamic Systems Solutions Inc. to replace its point-of sale system in the efforts to increase the efficiency and functionality of its electronic sales operations, allowing it to better serve its more than one million customers. Tire Kingdom's previous system had limitations ranging from the integration of its stores to not being Y2K compliant. The new system directly interfaces with the JD Edwards software, eliminating redundant files and the double processing of inventory and sales information.
    The successful implementation of the DSS point-of-sale system has enabled Tire Kingdom to significantly broaden its enterprise system's functionality. The company is now able to instantly track customer history for orders, reservations, estimates and appointments. In addition, Tire Kingdom is equipped with the capability to track related parts for specific repairs and automatically list parts on sales orders, to store the names of technicians who performed work, and to transmit store data (inventory levels, payroll clocking, traffic count etc.) instantly to corporate headquarters.
    Tire Kingdom, the largest independent tire and automotive services retailer in the Southeast and the third largest in America, opened for business on November 1, 1999 with the DSS point-of sale system in place.
    Dynamic Systems Solutions, Inc. develops, markets and services multinational, integrated enterprise software for distribution, finance, manufacturing and supply chain management. The DSS software operates in multiple environments including IBM AS/400(R), Windows(R)NT, and the Internet. Founded by Bill Teicher and Rob Kirkwood in 1992, the company is headquartered in Pompano Beach and has additional offices in Coral Gables, Fla. and Santiago, Chile.
    DSS Clients include Exxon, Mobil, and Sony Music.
