RMS Omega Technologies, a leading tracking, and automated solutions provider, announced today the successful mobile device deployment for commercial tire provider, McCarthy Tire. RMS Omega recently guided McCarthy Tire Service through the execution of a strategic technology enhancement featuring devices from Janam Technologies, a leading provider of rugged mobile computers and contactless access solutions, which resulted in drastically reduced operating costs and higher productivity levels.

McCarthy Tire Service is a family-owned and operated commercial tire company that required a cost-effective solution to improve employee productivity and efficiency, heighten the customer experience and address the expanding technical needs of the company. McCarthy Tire has served the transportation industry for more than 90 years with a mission to provide customers with commercial, industrial, off-the-road (OTR), intermodal and passenger vehicle tire solutions.

The relationship between RMS Omega Technologies and McCarthy Tire originated with RMS employee and tire industry expert, Ed Sedenka. The rapport and trust built between Ed and McCarthy Tire’s team has sustained the business relationship for over 20 years. McCarthy Tire has invested in RMS Omega’s technology solutions, including Bluetooth tire probes, printers, handheld scanners, device accessories, mobile device management software, and more. RMS also configures and services all devices and accessories for McCarthy Tire through RMS Omega’s Professional Services plan. The dynamic between RMS and McCarthy Tire has cultivated a high level of trust over the years, granting RMS the autonomy to serve as an “IT concierge” of sorts. For example, RMS Omega acts as a liaison for McCarthy Tire and their third-party networking IT vendor. When certain network issues or a device problem arises, RMS Omega and the external vendor work together directly on McCarthy Tire’s behalf, allowing the tire dealer to continue focusing their efforts on important day-to-day operations.

McCarthy Tire’s primary focuses in 2021 included the preparation for a large-scale software implementation to multiple retreading plants, replacing all of the company’s rugged handheld scanners and ensuring that all mobile devices are upgraded to be compatible with the latest operating systems. After some preliminary research for a cost-effective solution, the McCarthy Tire team engaged with their RMS Omega Account Manager and industry expert, Ed Sedenka. Ed consulted with the team on their end goal, providing strategic insight and guidance on the best path for optimal modernization. As a result, Ed recommended Janam’s rugged mobile computers as an ideal option for McCarthy Tire’s specific challenges.

“I looked into 3 other vendors to compare pricing and quality, but nobody could touch what RMS was able to offer.” – Chad Flaherty, Business Analyst at McCarthy Tire Service

After deploying hundreds of Janam devices as part of the new software rollout, McCarthy Tire realized a 20% savings in operating costs. Janam’s devices were a lot easier to work with, especially with a newly deployed wireless system. In addition, teammates documented a noticeable decrease in device set-up time, thereby increasing efficiency and resulting in significant labor savings for the organization as well.

For McCarthy Tire, RMS Omega and Janam Technologies, this hardware and software modernization effort presented an important opportunity for improved long-term teammate and customer experience.

“We’re really happy with our new Janam devices. They’re higher quality with more functionality.” – Keith Budurka, Director of IT at McCarthy Tire Service

Conga, the global leader in Commercial and Revenue Operations transformation, today announced that Nucleus Research awarded the company with the top leader position, outpacing 13 other industry vendors, in the 2021 CPQ Technology Value Matrix report. The annual assessment of Configure, Price, Quote (CPQ) technology ranked Conga as a leader due to its ability to enable customers to accelerate sales by configuring complex products and services across nearly all industries, plus its single data platform model across CPQ, Contract Lifecycle Management (CLM), Digital Commerce & Document Generation.

Conga has the industry’s most complete suite of revenue contract management capabilities spanning document creation, contract & lifecycle management and CPQ capabilities that work to automate and manage complete Revenue Operations processes. Its ranking as a top leader by Nucleus Research was also attributed to the following capabilities:

• 
  Users can apply product and pricing rules across CPQ, Partner Quoting & Self Service eCommerce without worrying about API connectivity between different channels
• The ability to handle complex quoting with support for 10,000 lines and 3,000 attributes in a single quote

The awards compile and review customer satisfaction scores of the leading software-as-a-service (SaaS) vendors.

“As organizations have continued to transform their digital commerce to move towards omnichannel and the future of business, the value in implementing CPQ solutions has never been greater. As a result, CPQ is no longer being considered a nice-to-have technology, but a must-have for enterprises looking to be successful and gain a competitive edge,” said Noel Goggin, CEO, Conga. “Our company has experienced strong growth, driven in large part by our CPQ product revenues, over the past year. We are proud that like our customers, the industry is also recognizing Conga as a leader in CPQ. We are energized by our momentum and look forward to continuing to support businesses across every industry with their pricing and quote needs in 2022 and beyond.”

The latest recognitions follow Conga’s accelerated growth in revenue and customers and increased investment in its market-leading Configure Price Quote (CPQ) products. The company recently announced its CPQ business has experienced a 78% year-over-year growth rate in 2020 and Conga has experienced high customer retention at greater than 90%.
