National strength, local delivery, one search box
Grouptyre is a network of ten independent wholesalers operating from more than 40 locations across England, Wales, Scotland, Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland, holding over a million tyres between them.
BOOKAR searches that network from inside the work order. Stock and pricing come back from the member serving your area, the tyres go on the job with fitting, and the order is placed from the purchase order — with the order number stored against it.
Live integration — available on your BOOKAR account with a Grouptyre member account.

What the Grouptyre integration does
The commercial relationship stays with your local member. What the integration changes is how the stock reaches your counter screen.
Live search on the job
Search by size from the tyre drawer on the work order and see what is actually available to you today.
Your local member
Pricing and availability come from the distributor that serves your area, so the delivery promise on screen is one they can keep.
Cost-based pricing
Tyre records are populated from the supplier data, so sell prices and margins are worked out from what the tyre costs you.
Premium to budget in one list
Bridgestone, Continental, Pirelli and Yokohama through to mid-range names and the group's own iLink and Rapid brands — priced side by side for the customer.
Order from the purchase order
Submit the tyre lines from the PO. The response is recorded with the order number, so the job and the delivery reconcile.
Built around late cut-offs
Members run multiple deliveries a day with late cut-off times. Ordering from the job means you make the cut-off rather than miss it.
From the job to Grouptyre and back
Four steps, all of them inside the work your team is already doing.
Search from the job
The vehicle on the work order gives you the sizes; the search gives you what is in stock against them.
Price the fitted job
Add tyres with fitting, valves and disposal so the customer sees one number, not a parts list.
Submit the order
BOOKAR raises the purchase order and sends the tyre lines to Grouptyre.
Book it in
Receipt the delivery against the PO. Stock, job cost and accounts all update from the one action.
Why garages turn it on
Tyres are a volume business run at counter speed. Anything that adds a step to the quote costs you the sale.
- One search instead of a phone call and a website
- Availability you can promise, from a depot near you
- Fitted prices quoted while the customer is still there
- Orders placed in time for the same-day delivery run
- Every order recorded against the job that needed it
- Stock and costs updated when the delivery is booked in

Common questions about Grouptyre
Which member will I be buying from?
The one that serves your area, on the account you already hold with them. The integration does not change who you buy from — it changes how the stock reaches your screen.
Does it cover Ireland?
The network spans England, Wales, Scotland, Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland through its member distributors.
Can I run Grouptyre and Bond together?
Yes. BOOKAR supports multiple tyre suppliers, and each purchase order records which one it was sent to.
The rest of the stack
BOOKAR connects to the suppliers, data providers and payment platforms a UK garage already runs on.
