Head to head
TyreSync vs Bandag
Bandag — the Bridgestone retread brand — pairs its retread products with tyre-management information systems: ProMobi for electronic inspections, ProOosta for scrap analysis, ProTurbo for fleet inspection and ProWheel for asset tracking, plus the BASys casing-management platform. Access runs through the Bandag franchise network and its fleet clients.
TyreSync is a brand-agnostic tyre-management workspace that any independent South African tyre shop can license — the outputs carry the shop's name, not a manufacturer's.
