3 Ways to Integrate Anyline’s Digital Tire Inspection Into Your Automotive Workflow

AI-powered tire inspection is quickly becoming a standard feature in modern automotive service operations. From independent workshops to large dealer groups and software platforms, the ability to perform fast, consistent, and transparent tire inspections improves efficiency, builds customer trust, and unlocks new revenue opportunities.
At the same time, not every business operates in the same way or has the same technical requirements. Some teams want a solution they can start using immediately, while others need tire inspection technology deeply embedded into existing digital workflows.
That is why Anyline’s Digital Tire Inspection Solution, TireBuddy, is available through three different integration models, each designed to fit a specific level of technical and operational complexity.
In this article, we walk through the three main ways to integrate TireBuddy and explain when each option makes the most sense.
Using the TireBuddy App for fast deployment
For many automotive service providers, speed and simplicity are top priorities. They want to digitize tire inspections without launching long implementation projects or involving internal development teams.
The TireBuddy App is a ready-to-use mobile application for Android and iOS, designed specifically for garages, dealerships, and service centers with multiple locations. It delivers a complete AI-based tire inspection experience out of the box.
With the app, technicians capture tire data directly on a mobile device while the system automatically recognizes tire sidewalls and identifies key vehicle information such as VIN, odometer readings, and license plates. The inspection results are compiled into a standardized digital tire inspection report that can be used internally or shared with customers.
Because the app is fully packaged, businesses can roll it out quickly across teams and locations. Basic configuration options and branding allow the app to align with an existing visual identity.
This integration model is ideal for organizations that want immediate value with minimal effort. The trade-off is flexibility. The TireBuddy App follows a defined workflow, which makes it well-suited for standardized operations but less suitable for highly customized digital environments.
Integrating the TireBuddy ToolKit into existing systems
For enterprises and automotive software providers, tire inspection is rarely a standalone task. It is usually part of a larger digital ecosystem that includes service workflows, reporting tools, and customer-facing applications.
The TireBuddy ToolKit (SDK) is designed for businesses that want to integrate AI tire inspection directly into their own applications and workflows. Instead of adapting internal processes to a predefined app, the SDK allows teams to embed Anyline’s tire inspection technology exactly where it is needed.
The SDK supports Android, iOS, and cross-platform frameworks, making it suitable for a wide range of enterprise environments. It is built in a modular way, with multiple tire inspection components that can be combined and configured depending on the use case.
This approach offers maximum flexibility. User interfaces, inspection logic, and data handling can all be tailored to match existing systems, whether that is a dealer management system, a fleet platform, or a proprietary automotive application. Configuration happens directly within the app via the SDK, and inspection data flows seamlessly into downstream processes.
The SDK integration requires development resources, so businesses have full control over the user experience and integration depth. For organizations where tire inspection plays a strategic role, this level of customization is often essential.
Accessing TireBuddy through automotive software partners
Not every business wants to introduce a new tool or build a custom integration, especially if they already rely on established automotive software platforms for daily operations.
For this reason, Anyline’s tire inspection technology is also available through partner integrations with leading DVI, VHC, MPI, and tire storage systems. In this model, TireBuddy functionality is embedded directly into the platforms that technicians and service advisors already use.
From a user perspective, nothing changes. Digital tire inspections are performed within the existing software interface, without additional logins, setup steps, or workflow changes. This makes partner integrations particularly attractive for shops and fleets that value ease of adoption and operational consistency.
While customization options depend on the partner platform, this integration model offers a clear advantage. Businesses gain access to AI-powered tire inspection without disrupting established processes or retraining teams.
Choosing the right TireBuddy integration model
There is no single best way to integrate AI tire inspection. The right approach depends on how your organization operates, how much customization is required, and how quickly you want to get started.
Some businesses benefit most from a ready-to-use app, others from a deeply embedded SDK, and many from seamless partner integrations. All three models are powered by the same underlying technology, Anyline’s proven AI for tire inspection, delivered in a way that adapts to existing workflows.
