At least 100 additional CALE meters will be added in 2012 to the existing Pay by Space meter program
TAMPA, Fla., Feb. 21, 2012 — CALE Group's newest subsidiary, CALE America, has begun 2012 with some key meter orders from new and current customers. The City of Minneapolis, with already more than 350 CALE Pay by Space meters installed through 2011, has ordered 100 more meters. The system currently allows patrons to pay for any space number at any meter citywide. City enforcement officers utilize real-time data from CALE's WebOffice system via smartphone or web-enabled handhelds to know which customers have paid and which spaces are expired or unpaid.
"We are extremely happy with the system," commented Tim Drew, the City's Parking Manager. "We are meeting or exceeding our performance goals and the reliability and flexibility of the CALE system has been critical to the success of the program. We have had some technical challenges, but the level of support we receive is tremendous."
New meter orders have also been received from the City of Wells, Maine and City of Portland, Maine. Based on current forecasts for 2012, CALE America should surpass the 13,000 installed meter mark before the end of this year. CALE has plans to hire additional sales professionals and will contract with multiple distribution partners this year to ensure product demand is met and excellent support levels are maintained throughout.
When asked why CALE continues to be successful in such a competitive market, the General Manager of CALE America, Jeff Nethery, responded, "We continue to provide our current customer install base with a consistent and well-organized support strategy. Our success continues to be the result of referrals from our existing customer base, which is extremely satisfied with our commitment to the success of each parking program."
