What It Is

HITS Tire Software is a cloud-based business software suite for tire retailers, auto repair shops, quick lube centers, commercial tire operations, and tire wholesalers. Its core product, HITS BPOS, covers POS invoicing, store management, inventory management, customer and vehicle records, appointment scheduling, accounts receivable, and reporting. It also extends into parts and labor estimating, quick lube operations, and B2B e-commerce through ServiceCAT and Tirelink.

Core Capabilities

Based on the site content, HITS’ strength lies in its deep vertical focus on the industry. For tire sales, it supports inventory, pricing, invoicing, supplier integrations, and drive-out pricing. For auto repair, ServiceCAT enables multi-supplier parts lookup, online ordering, Mitchell labor guides, and service intervals. For quick lube operations, it offers the VSOC oil change module, which can automatically apply markups and print oil change stickers. In wholesale scenarios, Tirelink can sync inventory, customer accounts, and pricing with BPOS in real time, while online orders can flow directly into the system and allocate inventory.

Pricing and Integrations

The official site does not provide clear packages or unit pricing in its main content, only indicating that approximate pricing can be obtained through the FAQ or by contacting the vendor. ServiceCAT is an add-on module for BPOS and requires an EPICOR data license. Integrations are fairly extensive, including 1stMile / Merchant Partners payments, AutoTextMe digital inspections, Tire Connect, QuickBooks, Sage, Great Plains, Mas90, RTS WMS, Simple Tire, and AMI/AutoMed.

Pros and Cons

The advantages include cloud-based real-time access across multiple locations, mature tire-industry inventory and accounts receivable capabilities, reporting that covers sales, inventory, A/R, and employee activity, plus online training, installation guides, and a dedicated project manager. The drawbacks are low pricing transparency and the lack of disclosed API documentation, security and compliance certifications, SLAs, and other information commonly required for enterprise procurement. In addition, the system does not include a native general ledger and must connect to accounting systems through Accounting Link.

Who It’s For and Access in China

HITS is better suited to North American tire retail chains, wholesale distributors, auto repair shops, and quick lube locations, especially businesses that need integrated inventory, accounts receivable, pricing strategy, and B2B ordering. Whether it can be accessed reliably from mainland China is not supported by the site content, so this remains unknown.
