Discount Tire – Informatica Customer Success Story

Headquartered in Scottsdale, Arizona, Discount Tire is the largest independent tire and wheel retailer in the world, operating more than 1,000 stores in 35 states. It sells products including tires, wheels, sensors, lug nuts, and wiper blades, and offers services including tire installation, rotation, balancing, and free flat tire repair for its customers. The company is owned by Reinalt-Thomas Corporation.

“We want to make sure that no matter which Discount Tire store or channel a customer enters, we know who they are and what vehicles they own. Informatica makes this easy by consolidating all the data about a customer into a single master record, then distributing it to various applications.”
