a proven tyre management tool that quickly identifies the best tyre for the job

When we talk about Total Tyre Control™ (TTC) this is what we're referring too. TTC Earthmover is the core TTC product, most other TTC products are add-ons to TTC Earthmover.

TTC Earthmover tracks tyres and rims, it provides in depth information on tread wear, tyre usage, manufacturer comparison and more.

TTC Earthmover puts you in charge of your tyres and rims, while promoting increased safety levels and increased fleet production at a lower tyre cost.

TTC Earthmover is a proven tyre management tool (established in 1987) that quickly identifies the best tyre for the job, schedules and monitors day to day tyre maintenance, reports on tyre performance and condition (both on screen and printed) and includes accurate tyre budget forecasting.

TTC Earthmover will perform tyre brand comparisons, project inventory needs, evaluate repair and retread performance, monitor casing age, flag tyre warnings, detect possible mechanical problems and calculate cost per kilometer (or mile) based on actual tyre performance.

Total Tyre Control™ provides easy-to-use, intuitive interfaces featuring process related steps to mimic real-life actions.

Proactive and Preventive Management

Total Tyre Control™ presents a comprehensive set of functionalities and reports to promote proactive management practices and facilitate the prevention of tyre and rim damage.

Modelling features allow Total Tyre Control™ users to forecast new tyre demand. Through simulations based on historical and definable forward planning parameters (i.e. ‘what if’ scenarios), the tyre forecasting tool is essential in establishing the risk of tyre shortages that lead to unnecessary decrease in production.

Total Tyre Control™ software analyses and reports on tyre and rim failure trends, identifies reasons for failure and provides the user with tyre and rim maintenance alerts. Such alerts maintain proactive management practices by warning the user of tyre and rim maintenance requirements.
