Tire Factory Chooses JunctionISS and Microsoft DynamicsAX

Junction Solutions’ Point-of-Sale Software Chosen Across 180 Stores

Lincolnshire, IL – January 24, 2007 - Junction Solutions today announced that Tire Factory, a leading tire and custom wheel retailer and distributor, has selected JunctionISS for its point-of-sale solution across its 180 stores across the western United States. JunctionISS will be integrated to Microsoft Dynamics AX in order to provide a comprehensive enterprise resource planning system (ERP).

Headquartered in Portland, Oregon, Tire Factory consists of a group of independent tire dealers who have joined together to create one of the West's fastest growing tire retail chains. With over 180 stores in 11 western states, the company needed an integrated point-of-sale and ERP system to better manage its financial data, trade agreements, warehouse and distribution activities. After reviewing other systems, including Oracle EnterpriseOne, Tire Factory chose Junction Solutions.

JunctionISS is a browser-based, touch (optional), GUI point-of-sale and back office application designed to offer retailers a flexible, scaleable and standards-based solution using proven XML/XSLT web technologies. JunctionISS integrates to Microsoft Dynamics AX to offer a rich set of store management functions that roll up data, provide control, and manage the entire retail business.

“JunctionISS is an excellent choice for our business,” said Anthony Showen, COO at Tire Factory. “We chose this solution based on its extensive functionality, open platform, and because it is integrated to a stable, proven Microsoft platform. We will now be able to streamline our point-of-sale processes and offer superior customer service."
