Speedemissions Implements Internet-Based Biometric Business Management System

Dec-13-04



ATLANTA, - Speedemissions, Inc.
(OTC Bulletin Board: SPEM), a vehicle emissions testing and safety inspections
company announced that it has completed the installation of its complete
Internet-based business management system for its Atlanta emission testing
stations. Implementation for the Company's Houston stores is anticipated for
January. This Internet-based ASP.net applications system, which uses SQL
databases and is hosted on a dedicated server, was developed by MSSsoftware,
Inc., headquartered in Covington, Ga.
There are several key components to the system that gives Speedemissions
the ability to better manage its store unit information. First, the system
allows employees at each facility to enter the vehicle and customer
information and sales transaction directly into the company database in real
time. Additionally, the MSSsoftware has integrated an Internet-based biometric
"time and attendance" system for the Company's employees to clock in and out
by simply placing a finger on the OneTouchTimeClock fingerprint sensor. This
fingerprint time clock prevents fraudulent time cards from being submitted by
absent employees. Time and attendance data is automatically calculated and
transmitted to the payroll service bureau in minutes. Furthermore, the system
instantly accounts for every dollar received and every inspection conducted,
then balanced to the number of inspection certificates in inventory. Finally,
it gives the company the ability to review the productivity of every employee
and location anytime, from anywhere.
Bill Klenk, CFO, who joined Speedemissions in April of this year, and
worked closely with MSSsoftware in determining the right applications for the
software, stated, "This system has increased our efficiency and will allow us
to more readily integrate newly acquired testing stations. For a company like
ours, real-time data collection and processing is necessary."
Rich Parlontieri, CEO of Speedemissions, added, "We were looking for a
cost effective way to account for every dollar received and tied to each
inspection, along with support costs that are minimal. We wanted a system that
can provide us with management reports that can assist in increasing
throughput in our stores. The MSSsoftware gives us all of that, plus the
ability to know who are customer is and to build a relationship with them."
