MacroSolve Signs 5 Year Contract with City of Broken Arrow
for digiTICKET™ - Anyware’s Electronic Ticketing Solution
- Electronic ticketing significantly improves police department efficiencies and officer safety
- digiTICKET selected over competing solutions currently on the market
TULSA, Okla., August 19, 2009 - MacroSolve, Inc., (OTCBB:MCVE), parent company of Anyware Mobile Solutions, announced today that it has been selected by the City of Broken Arrow, Oklahoma to deliver digiTICKET, Anyware’s electronic ticketing solution. This marks the fourth city to adopt digiTICKET since its recent launch.
Upon the implementation of this five year contract, the Broken Arrow Police Department will transition from hand writing traditional paper tickets to creating them electronically using digiTICKET on rugged handheld computers for motorcycle officers and laptop computers in patrol cars. Electronic ticketing dramatically reduces the time required to issue and manage tickets while significantly improving officer safety and decreasing waste throughout the entire process.
“We are very pleased to have been selected in this competitive bid process by one of the larger police departments in the state. Competing and winning against other mature products illustrates the benefits of being an aggressive company with exceptional employees and the best technology. The demand for electronic ticketing by local and state agencies is growing tremendously and we’re excited to be able to fill that need. It’s especially rewarding for Anyware Mobile Solutions to support Oklahoma departments and help them improve community service through our products,” stated Eric Fultz, MacroSolve’s Vice President managing the launch of digiTICKET.
“This vendor was chosen by the users group for its flexibility and local technical support,” stated Major Berryhill Operations Division Commander, City of Broken Arrow Police Department.
digiTICKET allows officers to enter driver information automatically into the application by scanning the bar code on the back of a driver license. The officer can enter multiple violations and capture the driver's signature electronically, all in a matter of minutes. The reduced time to issue tickets decreases the minutes an officer is standing roadside, where they are exposed to unnecessary risk. In 2008, the leading cause of death among U.S. police officers was being struck by a vehicle. The reduced use of paper products combined with the time saved in elimination of manual data entry at ticket processing points will allow Broken Arrow to cut operating costs around ticket processing. In addition, city revenues can increase through a reduction in unusable tickets due to manual errors on paper tickets.
