In the Summer of 2016, Virtual Garage Manager’s parts interfaces were overhauled due to the introduction of a live tyre feed from GroupTyre. We’ve streamlined the parts data entry process and have made it even easier to go from purchase order, to purchase invoice as well as keeping track of your stock with as little data entry as possible.

Working alongside GroupTyre, we have added the ability to order tyres from your local wholesaler. You’ll be able to search through all of the available stock and will be able to place an order which will be delivered directly to your depot.

How to see a live tyre feed if you’re not a GroupTyre member.

If you’re not yet a member of GroupTyre the best way to proceed is to give us a call and we can make the necessary introductions. There’s no exclusivity required, so you can still use other Tyre wholesalers, but in order to make tyre orders within VGM you’ll need a GroupTyre account.

How to see a live tyre feed if you are a GroupTyre member.

If you’re already a member of GroupTyre, simply get in touch with us and we’ll get access to your GroupTyre price file and will get everything set up for you.

Once we’ve got your GroupTyre data feed hooked up, there are several configuration options that you’ll have access to.
