Speedemissions Implements Internet-Based Biometric Business
Management System ATLANTA, Dec. 13 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ --
Speedemissions, Inc. (OTC:SPEM) (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." About Speedemissions: Speedemissions, Inc., based in
Atlanta, Georgia, plans to become the leading vehicle emissions
(and safety inspection where required) company in the United States
in areas where auto testing is mandated by the Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA). The market is highly fragmented.
Speedemissions expects to be the first company to create a national
brand offering their customers quick and efficient vehicle
emissions testing service. The initial focus of the company is in
the Atlanta, Georgia and Houston, Texas markets. They expect to
continue rapidly expand store sites. Certain statements contained
