International, who was involved in delivering the demonstrations, says, “e-jobsheet offers great value whereby even the smallest dealer can manage all of its fleet tyre service work through this one tablet-based work management platform.

with a stringent tyre husbandry service including full reporting data regarding inspections, tyre fitment details, service fitments, and work authorisations, to provide tight financial and legal control across the IWJS fleet.
Jowan Burt adds; “Now we can measure it, and we can manage it. Whereas before we had limited control over a somewhat disparate tyre procurement and management policy, today we have instantly accessible and accurate tyre-related data at our fingertips. Not only does Vacu-Lug’s VMS system enable us to remain compliant, but also it provides us with the tools to
identify and rectify any high cost areas or anomalies as soon as they appear.”
Industrial Water Jetting Systems Ltd celebrates its 40th anniversary this year and is established as one of the leading and most innovative industrial waste water management firms in the UK.
“It’s fitting that we should introduce a new and more efficient tyre management policy in our 40th anniversary year,” concludes Burt. “We went to four different national suppliers before choosing Vacu-Lug Tyres and I’m sure we and our customers in turn will see the benefits for many years to come.”
