How to make an app for a tyre shop

A tyre shop's stock is a grid of sizes and types, and a sale often comes with alignment, balancing and an old tyre taken back. An app keeps stock by size, records each sale against the vehicle number, and reminds you when a car is due for rotation or alignment.

Who uses the app

The owner and the counter person; fitters too if they mark alignment jobs done on their phones. For more than one phone, connect your own Supabase database so stock goes down for everyone after a sale.

The screens a tyre shop app needs

Stock: Tyres by size and type with quantity, buying price, selling price and rack place
New sale: Vehicle number, tyres sold, fitting, balancing, alignment, old tyres taken back and the bill
Alignment jobs: Today's alignment and balancing jobs with vehicle and status
Vehicles: Search by vehicle number; every tyre change, alignment and the km at each
Due list: Vehicles due for rotation or alignment by date or km, with a WhatsApp button
Low stock: Sizes that have fallen below your minimum, to order from suppliers

Features worth asking for

Stock that goes down by size when a sale is billed
Scan a barcode or QR label on a tyre with the phone camera to find it in stock
Old tyres taken back counted against the bill
A bill PDF with tyres, labour and old tyre adjustment
Rotation and alignment due every 10,000 km, set at each visit
Low-stock list by size with a minimum you choose

Where the data lives

For one counter phone, data stays on that phone. If fitters or a second counter use their own phones, connect your own Supabase database from the chat so stock is the same everywhere.

How to make it with AppCub, step by step

Decide what the app does. List the screens you need, for example: Stock, New sale, Alignment jobs, Vehicles, Due list.
Describe it to AppCub. Paste the request below, changed to your own business and details.
Check the plan. AppCub shows the screens and features it will build. Change them in the chat until they are right; seeing the plan is free.
Try it on your phone. The app runs live next to the chat. Scan the QR code to install it, and ask for changes.
Share it. Share it as a web link, an APK file, or publish it on Google Play from your own developer account.

Copy this request, change the details to match your tyre shop, and paste it into AppCub:

Make an app for my tyre shop, Kaveri Tyre Point in Coimbatore. Screens: stock, new sale, alignment jobs, vehicles, due list and low stock. Stock is by tyre size and type with quantity, buying and selling price and rack. A sale has vehicle number, owner phone, km, tyres, fitting, balancing ₹60 per wheel, alignment ₹450 and old tyres taken back with their value. Set rotation due at 10,000 km. Let me scan a barcode on a tyre to find it. Bill as a PDF with a UPI QR. Black and yellow colours.

Tips for a tyre shop app

Write sizes the same way every time, such as 185/65 R15, so search and stock add up.
Set a minimum quantity for your fast-moving sizes; the low-stock list is only as good as that number.
Barcode scanning works in the installed Android app, not in the web preview; test it with a few tyres first.
Note the km at every visit so the rotation due list is useful.
Count stock once a month and correct it in the app.

Good to know

AppCub doesn't connect to alignment machines, billing machines or suppliers' ordering systems. Alignment readings are not imported; fitters note the result, and reminders go out when someone taps WhatsApp.
AppCub builds Android apps. You can also share the app as a web link that opens on any phone; for the iPhone App Store, AppCub’s team can do it for you.

Questions

Can the app keep tyre stock by size?

Yes. Each size and type has its own quantity, and a sale reduces it when the bill is saved.

Can I scan tyres with my phone?

Yes. In the installed Android app the camera can scan a barcode or QR label on a tyre and open it in stock. Scanning doesn't work in the web preview.

Can the app import readings from my alignment machine?

No. AppCub doesn't connect to alignment machines. The fitter notes the result or attaches a photo of the printout.

Can the app tell me which sizes to reorder?

Yes. Set a minimum for each size and the low-stock screen lists everything below it.

Can I remind customers about tyre rotation?

The due list shows vehicles near their rotation km or date, with a WhatsApp button that has the message ready. You send it.
