AssetWorks LLC has been serving the higher education marketplace with software applications since 1980, introducing the BOSSCARS parking management system in 1997 and the BOSSCOPS dispatch and incident management system in 2007. AssetWorks is part of Constellation Software, Inc., a Canadian company which trades on the TSX under the symbol CSU. With ten regional offices in North America, the AssetWorks office in Lone Tree, Colorado will be responsible for providing all software and services to support client requirements related to parking and public safety.

AssetWorks is a leading provider of software solutions to higher education for managing facilities, fleet & fixed assets, parking & public safety, housing & conference services, and more. This higher education focus means finding ways to help colleges and universities control costs and uncover new sources of cost savings. As institutions face increased demand for campus services while budgets are challenged, our software solutions and expertise have never been more important or more necessary to help manage campus operations more efficiently.

How we make it all happen

AssetWorks has a unique combination of highly skilled professionals and cutting edge technology that allows us to assess, execute, and support each client’s specific requirements in a professional, timely, and cost effective manner. In the BOSS Software Suite, we have over 100 customers – all higher education institutions, in the US and Canada. Our customers include both public and private institutions, community colleges, and university/college systems, from as small as 1,000 students to well over 40,000 students. A 99% retention rate is testament to the fact that customers stick with us, including the campus where BOSSCARS was first developed 17 years ago.

BOSSCARS is a comprehensive, enterprise class parking management solution that’s modular and highly configurable. We want to ensure the system can grow and adapt with a customer’s changing needs, and that updates and upgrades to the software are seamless to implement. Because no two

institutions are identical, BOSSCARS can be configured and fine-tuned to meet the unique needs of a campus’ parking operations, its business rules and regulations and how it wants to serve the campus community. We provide superior software and service so our customers can remain focused on their educational missions rather than developing and supporting software for auxiliary services.

Customer Participation in Our Product Direction

When customers ask for new capabilities, features and new modules are planned, AssetWorks engages our customers in the development of that new functionality. Every module has been born from the needs of our customers. Thus, the BOSSCARS system is truly forged from what the customers want in the product.

Customer Collaboration

AssetWorks hosts an annual user conference where customers meet and study the BOSSCARS product in technical sessions presented by AssetWorks personnel as well as by customers themselves and industry experts. This is an opportunity to share experiences with the entire customer base. Organizations enjoy 2 days with their peers from across North America. Please visit the web site at www.BossSoftware.com for more information.

Focus

BOSSCARS by AssetWorks has led the higher education parking industry with seamless integration to campus information systems at colleges and universities. AssetWorks has remained committed to higher education and continues to focus on software solutions that improve operational efficiency and enable parking and public safety departments to provide the best possible customer service to their campus communities.

AssetWorks has developed a niche market based on extensive experience with Oracle® and the database needs of the higher education industry. BOSSCARS is the leader in student information systems integration, and provides an all-inclusive solution for the breadth of campus parking operations.

BOSSCARS Parking Management Software

BOSSCARS provides a comprehensive and intuitive parking management software solution that allows a parking office to operate efficiently and effectively. The software is Oracle-based and was built from the ground-up to integrate parking permits and citations with the student information systems in real-time.

BOSSCARS is unparalleled when it comes to flexibility. The University has complete control over its business rules and procedures, and BOSSCARS is designed to accommodate nearly any requirement.

A robust application architecture provides enormous flexibility, as every institution is unique and requires individualized configuration for their parking system.

BOSSCARS Web Interface provides customers with quick and easy access to permit, vehicle and citation information - allowing a customer to apply for a parking permit and appeal or pay for a citation online. Students and employees of the University can enjoy a simplified online process because parking services are placed behind network or portal logon. Visitors and vendors can easily enter their vehicle and contact information, which will be stored in BOSSCARS for subsequent visits. Long lines for permits at the start of each school year can be significantly reduced or eliminated, and customer satisfaction greatly improved.

BOSSCARS can be purchased as either a comprehensive suite that encompasses all the aspects of parking management or as a modular system that allows the University to minimize its up-front expenditure by purchasing only the necessary modules. As WSU’s needs grow, BOSSCARS will grow with you.
