Rent-to-own News - For Premier Wheel Workz, Ideal Software is "ideal"

October 10, 2008

Ideal Software Systems today announced Premier Wheel Workz, a leader in tire and wheel applications, has selected the Ideal system to manage their rental operations. Ideal has also served as the exclusive software provider for Premier Rental Purchase’s 60 plus locations since 2004.  

“I think they are steps ahead of everyone else I’ve seen in wheel and tire RTO software” said Dale Ingram, president of Premier Wheel Workz.

Ideal’s new release of their retail and rent-to-own product includes features specifically designed for the wheel and tire industry, including greatly expanded inventory and special ordering capabilities to meet the needs of wheel and tire shops.


For a fast-growing industry leader like Wheel Workz, it’s critical to have software that allows for growth and yet is easy for a new franchise to learn and use. Ideal’s newest version of software meets those requirements.

 

But a good product alone won’t give Wheel Workz’ franchises everything their business calls for. In addition to praising the product itself, Ingram went on to say this about Ideal’s customer service. That commitment to customer service is key to making sure that Wheel Workz franchise owners get the assistance they need to be successful.

“They have done a good job of fitting our needs.” said Ingram. “I was impressed with their operation. They really know how to take care of their customers. They do what they say they are going to do.”  

Wheel Workz, a leader in tire and wheel applications, is committed to staying ahead of the pack and on the cutting edge of today’s wheel market. As an industry leader, retailer, and wholesale distributor, they offer the greatest selection of the hottest styles available today. Wheel Workz is the largest independently owned supplier of original equipment and custom wheels in the Mid-South.  Franchise opportunities are available.

Ideal Software Systems, Inc. is a privately held corporation located in Meridian, Mississippi doing business both in the US and internationally. Ideal provides the industry-leading software solutions for rent-to-own, retail and wheel and tire.
