Tire storage software · Hamilton and the escarpment

Tire storage software for Hamilton shops

Tire storage tracking for independent shops in Hamilton, Stoney Creek, Dundas and up on the mountain.

Treadstock does one job: put a set of four away in about ninety seconds with a label or a chalk mark, find any set in ten seconds by part of a name, a plate, a phone number or the mark on the tire, and see on a Monday morning who is due back and whose tread will not pass another winter. It runs on the phones your techs already carry, so there is nothing to buy and nothing to install on the office computer.

The changeover in Hamilton

Hamilton changes over in two waves, and the escarpment is why. The mountain ices before the lower city does, so the customers who live up there book first and the ones at the bay do not see the point for another fortnight.

Long-established independents, often the second generation in the same building, with a storage business that grew out of doing it as a favour. The records tend to be older than the software: a book, a spreadsheet, a wall of numbered bins.

What that means for a shop here

The parts of this that exist because of how the job actually goes in Hamilton and the escarpment.

Worth knowing

A shop whose storage list is already in a spreadsheet can bring it in rather than retyping it — names, numbers and cars in one go, and the sheet does not have to be in any particular shape.

How it handles it

Climbing the mountain in a salt storm is the other half of the two-wave season: the week the lower city finally books is the week there is no slack left, which is the week a set nobody can find costs a bay.

And one more thing

Nothing is ever deleted. A set is returned, abandoned or voided with a reason, and the history stays readable — which matters most in the shops that have been storing tires for twenty years and have the arguments to prove it.

What it costs

One price, published, with no per-set or per-user charge on top of it.

Free until spring

Shops that start by February 28, 2027 use it free through March 31, 2027. No card, and nothing is billed unless you opt in.

Then $39 a month

Or $390 for the year, plus HST, per location. Unlimited sets and unlimited staff. If you stop, your records stay there to read and to export.
