Common Questions
Is Tire Group International (TGI) the same kind of platform as Fitzy?
Not quite. Tire Group International (TGI) is a B2B ordering/distribution channel that connects shops to wholesale inventory — it's not designed to be the consumer-facing storefront your customers shop directly on with guaranteed fitment.
Can I use Tire Group International (TGI) for sourcing and Fitzy for selling?
Many shops do exactly that — a distributor relationship like Tire Group International (TGI) for sourcing, and Fitzy as the customer-facing storefront with fitment, checkout, and financing layered on top.
Do I need a wholesale account to start with Fitzy?
No. Fitzy gives you access to a $100M+ combined live inventory pool from 75+ suppliers without needing to individually apply for wholesale credit lines first.
What happens if Tire Group International (TGI) can't fill an order?
Fitzy routes each order to whichever supplier in its network has it in stock, rather than being limited to a single distributor's catalog.
