Company Name: Pop-A-Lock
Web Address:

Business Description: Pop-A-Lock is a national franchise that provides road side assistance to stranded motorists. Services available include car-door unlocking, tire changing, fuel delivery and jump starts

White Paper: Pop-A-Lock uses PageGate in conjunction with their proprietary software. The proprietary application is Internet based so PageGate provides redundancy for notification in the event that the Internet is down. Due to PageGate's logging capabilities, messages can be retrieved and entered into the database when access is regained.

In addition Pop-A-Lock uses the Commandline/ASCII Interface to provide dialup dispatch to paging devices, and mobile phones. This has proven to be more reliable than the email delivery provided by the existing Pop-A-Lock paging carriers. This has provided additional flexibility and reliability so that Pop-A-Lock can be more responsive to their customers needs.
