Success Story:

Wasatch Energy Systems switched from the ASI/Metlor Toledo scale software package to the CompuWeigh/WeighStation system in 1999.  Located in Layton Utah, Wasatch Energy is currently using WeighStation CE version 1.0 to process residential flat fee customers on busy Saturdays.  The scale house could process up to 1400 vehicles across one scale and found that customer wait times could be excessive .  To limit the amount of vehicles having to cross the scale they implemented the WeighStation CE Handheld application.  The Handheld PC allows a operator to walk along the line of vehicles and process customers on the spot.  This allows many customers to bypass the single scale.  The customer can pay with cash, check or wireless authorized credit cards.  All transactions are saved to the network upon closeout  (with backup data stored in persistent memory locally on the device).  Transactions numbers are kept in sync with the scale house by calling Active Server Pages and ActiveX components on the local Intranet.
