back to case studies

SeaTacPark.com is one of the premier e-Commerce sites developed by Active Solutions. The firm provides secure parking near the Sea-Tac airport, with on-line reservations using .NET web services to access its data. In addition to easy and fast navigation for its customers, a MS-Access based administration tool, acting as a front-end to the SQL Server database supporting the website, allows SeaTacPark administrators to add, edit, delete and report on customer and reservation records. With this capability, SeaTacPark can immediately access and manage the content of the website, maintaining control over the accuracy of online content.

The administration section of this site is a very powerful tool that also allows SeaTacPark to monitor other functionalities of the Website. Reservations can be viewed as soon as they are placed, giving SeaTacPark employees the opportunity to check for accuracy and availability. In addition, e-mail addresses are also captured, allowing SeaTacPark to create opt-in emailing lists from the customer database. Mass e-mail distribution, controlled by the Microsoft Access front-end, allows SeaTacPark another avenue for passing out important marketing information while also helping them save on costs. Each of the administration tools are customized and can easily be expanded with additional features.
