An endorsement was given by American Car Care Centers (ACCC) to Aftersoft Network N.A., Inc. for its network of 1,000 independent tire dealers. This support enables the VAST POS system to become an official resource to ACCC members, which can be purchased by members through a special pricing arrangement. AfterSoft Network N.A., Inc. is a wholly owned subsidiary of Aftersoft Group, Inc. and a provider of software to the automotive aftermarket.

There are over 2,500 locations in the US that use the VAST POS system. Major independent tire dealers like Monro/ Mr. Tire, Sullivan Tire, Tire One Group, and over 200 Goodyear independents, as well as auto service chains including Midas, Meineke, Tuffy and CarX also apply VAST POS system.

The VAST system has been installed at 35 ACCC dealer locations. According to Bill Jarvis, owner of Midwest Tire and an ACCC 4 location dealer in Indiana, they chose VAST over other POS systems because of its ability to handle both tires and automotive service in one system. Of all of the systems they looked at, the VAST system was the only system that integrated electronic parts and tire ordering, labor estimating and automatic service interval quotes, while providing all the tools necessary to help sell the right tires.

“We are extremely pleased to be able to put this relationship together. Through VAST’s range of functionality for single and multi-location dealers we believe that the VAST Point of Sale system can potentially help our dealers become more profitable and efficient. We are pleased that VAST has the ability to electronically connect our members to their tire and parts suppliers for electronic ordering.”, Dave Crawford, ACCC’s Director of Marketing affirmed.
