RTS Canada: Sustainable Tire Retreading Through Smart Maintenance

RTS Canada specializes in commercial tire retreading, transforming used tires into durable, high-performance products. Combining technical expertise and innovation, the company delivers sustainable and reliable solutions to clients across the automotive and industrial sectors.

As operations grew, they needed a smarter way to manage maintenance, reduce quality issues, and replace paper processes with real-time tracking.

Challenges Before Binder

Before implementing Binder, RTS Canada struggled with:

• Reactive Maintenance: Without a structured preventive plan, equipment wear increased, causing avoidable quality issues.

• Limited Cost Tracking: Maintenance spending wasn’t clearly documented, complicating budgeting and decision-making.

• Paper-Based Processes: Information was scattered across notes and spreadsheets, creating confusion and delays between shifts.

RTS Canada needed a solution that would centralize maintenance information, improve visibility, and strengthen quality control.

How Binder Helped

Within weeks, Binder centralized maintenance for RTS Canada, simplifying reporting, improving team coordination, and making preventive maintenance effortless.

Here’s what changed:

• Centralized Information Access
  All parts, technical diagrams, and maintenance records are now stored in one digital platform accessible 24/7.

• Real-Time Reporting & Shift Handover
  Every incident is logged instantly and visible to the next team, ensuring seamless communication and faster resolution.

• Organized Preventive Maintenance
  With Binder’s scheduling tools, RTS Canada can now plan and track preventive tasks, reducing machine downtime and improving product quality.

“Before Binder, our maintenance was mostly paper-based and hard to track. Now, everything is centralized, we can access technical diagrams in under a minute, which makes our team’s work much easier. What I really appreciate is Binder’s flexibility and the openness of their team. We work together to tailor the platform to our exact needs. Today, I sleep much better knowing that every issue is reported and resolved efficiently.”
