Online tyre sales go from impossible to possible
Online tyre sales go from impossible to possible
(PR.co.nz) Simon
Furness, founder of online tyre fitting company Hyper Drive
has taken a product that is traditionally not an internet
product and turned it in to one proving convenience is what
is important to consumers.
With online tyre sales
surging over 300% compared to this time last year consumers
are liking the fact that they can shop from the comfort of
their keyboard.
"Online tyre retailing enables
consumers to compare products online and still get it fitted
locally" Furness comments. "From research we have done
consumers don't want to have to ring around trying to get
prices on tyres, or go into stores to get a quote, then have
to go back a few days later to get the product".
Hyperdrive.co.nz has a network of over
200 garages across the country. These garages are carefully
selected to ensure quality service. "Our garage network is
growing every week with enquiries from new companies wishing
to become part of our Hyper Drive Fit Network".
Hyper
Drive which is based in Penrose, Auckland have invested
heavily in the online stock infrastructure to ensure their
system shows live stock of what is available to the
consumer. They have a logistics team who organise for the
tyres to be sent to the garages when an order has been
placed.
The entire process is very simple. The
consumer enters their tyre size (or in some cases you can
even enter your number plate) and a range of available tyres
will appear. You choose which tyres you want, where you want
to get them fitted and on what day and time. Payment is all
done online then the consumer simply turns up at the booked
time and their tyres will be there ready to be fitted.
"It just eliminates so much time from the traditional
tyre buying process. Let's be honest, there aren't many
people who enjoy buying tyres so why not make it as
convenient and easy for them" says entrepreneur Simon
Furness.
Hyper Drive offers all the leading tyres
brands including Pirelli, Goodyear, Nexen, Hankook, Yokohama
and more.
Hyper Drive is part of the online retail
business Hyper Group which also operates www.hyperride.co.nz and www.hypertyres.co.nz.
