Mount Laurel, NJ, April 11, 2011 – Metric Group Inc. which has been producing machines and solutions for the parking industry for over 30 years have announced their Web ASLAN hosted back office solution. Now Metric will offer the customer their choice of back office solutions, and allow the customer to decide what the best application is for their needs. Metric will also be offering its existing large installed base already using the ASLAN back office to convert over to the hosted solution.
At the heart of ASLAN lies the web based Alert application, a central component which provides the communication interface with the networked parking machines. Users are able to configure, manage, and monitor their parking machines using the rich, yet simple interface. Alert’s real time monitoring now offers emails notifications to allow more flexibility for the user to respond to events. We an offer this service in Pay & Display, Pay by license plate, and Pay by Space.
Dave Witts, President of Metric Group Inc. says, “Metric has always offered a robust back office to our customers as the complete unit; server and software that allowed the customer to manage this service at their facility. Now we are offering the best of both worlds allowing the customer to purchase everything up front and self manage, or to pay a monthly service fee and allow Metric to manage it. In many cases we have seen where the customer does not want to get involved with IT issues and would prefer to just pay a monthly service fee to access their data real time on the web, amongst the many features offered by Web ASLAN. This hosting service is now available and we have several customers using it as it better fit their requirements” The introduction of this enhanced service gives all our new and old customers to choice on how they want to manage their back office in parking and how they prefer to fund it. Metric does not want to dictate to the customers how they should run their parking operation.”
