Group Tyre Integration
Article Status Update: This article has been recently updated and is currently under review. Please check back later.
The Group Tyre Integration lets you search the Group Tyre catalogue and place orders with the Group Tyre depot without leaving Garage Hive. Tyres from Group Tyre appear in the same Tyre Catalogue Lookup as your own stock and any other supplier catalogues you have enabled, so you can compare what is available before committing to an order.
Registration With Group Tyre
To be confirmed. Details of how a garage applies for Group Tyre API access, including the contact address and the information Group Tyre need, will be added here once the onboarding process is confirmed. You will receive an API Key, a Username and a Password, which you enter in the setup below.
System Setup for Group Tyre Integration
To enable the Group Tyre Integration in Garage Hive:
In the top-right corner, choose the search icon, enter Group Tyre Integrations , and select the related link.
Select New to create a Group Tyre Integration card.
Enter the Location Code for the location where you want the integration, then enter the API Key , Username and Password you received from Group Tyre.
Select the Vendor No. you will order the tyres from, and the Placeholder Item No. used on the tyres added to a document.
Select the Enabled slider. When you enable the card, Garage Hive connects to Group Tyre and fills in two fields:
- Last Successful Connect shows the date and time of the connection.
- Default Site Name shows the Group Tyre depot your account is set to, for example Group Tyre Aylesbury (GTW).
If either field stays empty, the connection did not succeed. Check your credentials and try again.
Group Tyre Tyre Lookup From the Document
The Group Tyre integration is available in Estimates, VI Estimates, Jobsheets and Purchase Orders. To add tyres from Group Tyre to a document:
Open the document, select Parts, then select Tyre Catalogue in the menu bar.
In the Service Documents (Jobsheet, Estimate or VI Estimate) the tyre catalogue can also be reached from:
- Group Items: from the Group Items sub-page menu bar, select Parts followed by Tyre Catalogue.
- Lines: from the Lines sub-page menu bar, select Line followed by Tyre Lookup, with an Item line selected.
In the Tyre Catalogue Lookup Criteria pop-up, enter the tyre size in the Search Text field, for example 2055516 , and the number of tyres in the Quantity field. Choose OK.
You can also search by a Group Tyre product code instead of a size. Anything that is not a plain tyre size is treated as a product code search.
The Tyre Catalogue Lookup page opens, showing tyres from your Local Inventory together with the catalogues of every supplier integration you have enabled. Group Tyre rows carry the Vendor No. and Vendor Item No. from Group Tyre, and the Warehouse column shows your Group Tyre depot and its site number.
Use the Manufacturer , Speed , Run Flat and Extra Load filters at the top to narrow the list.
Select the tyre you want and choose OK. The tyre is added to the document against the Placeholder Item No. , carrying the description, cost and Vendor Item No. from the catalogue.
Ordering Tyres From the Purchase Order
Once you have a Purchase Order for Group Tyre:
To add more tyres, select Home followed by Group Tyre Lookup Items, then search and select as above. The list here covers the Group Tyre catalogue only, without your local stock.
To place the order, select Home followed by Group Tyre Order Items.
The Group Tyre Availability page opens. Check the figures before you continue:
Local Quantity
Stock at your Group Tyre depot. Shown in red when it is zero.
Quantity To Order
The quantity on the purchase order line.
Unit Cost (Excl. VAT)
The current Group Tyre price. Shown in amber when it differs from the price on your line.
Old Unit Cost (Excl. VAT)
The price currently on your purchase order line.
Choose OK to place the order.
When the order goes through, the Vendor Order No. on the purchase order header is filled with the Group Tyre order number, and each ordered line is stamped with Ordered By and Time Ordered. Your Garage Hive purchase order number is sent to Group Tyre as the order Reference, so the same number identifies the order on both systems.
