As part of the new parking management program, Mawaqif, Abu Dhabi Department of Transport (DoT) selected GlobeTech as their partner of choice to provide their innovated Central Parking Management System.

On May 2 2010, under the management of IMUM, gTicket was launched to manage 75,000 on-street and off-street parking spaces, making Mawaqif the largest parking project in the world. Mawaqif was designed to provide a world class central parking management system in the capital of the UAE, and therefore resolve the growing problem of congestion and parking faced daily by residents and visitors to Abu Dhabi.

The gTicket product provides a complete end-to-end IT solution including the mobile handhelds for Parking Inspectors, and a web based back office system that manages all aspects of Parking Management in the city of Abu Dhabi. gTicket streamlines the PVT process from issue to closure, increasing productivity and reducing in-field errors. Instant updates and up to the minute reporting ensure that all users benefit from the extensive operational features, and provide excellent customer service.

GlobeTech has a long history of working within the parking management sector . The gTicket solution is firmly established within many major Local Authorities within the Republic of Ireland, among them Dublin City Council and Cork City Council. GlobeTech was also awarded prestigious UK parking management contracts for Croydon Borough Council (London) and Worcester City Council.

CEO Kevin Kelly says, “GlobeTech is very proud to be part of the world's largest parking contract. Globetech has extensive experience in providing parking management solutions, and therefore we have invaluable insight into diverse demands of the client. As gTicket is a flexible web based multi-lingual solution it was reasonably straight forward getting the UAE up and running within a short period.”

GlobeTech, a leading provider of parking management and traffic enforcement solutions, has achieved certified status in Microsoft Partner Program with an ISV/Software Solutions Competency. One of the main factors that have allowed the company to earn the status was completion of certification testing of GlobeTech's main product, GTicket.

The Microsoft Partner program helps us stay at the forefront of computing innovation, and grow our products and business into the future. It will help us continue to be highly responsive to our increasing number of clients.

Microsoft itself describes its certified partners as “independent companies that provide the highest levels of technical expertise, strategic thinking, and hands-on skills.” As a Microsoft Certified Partner, GlobeTech gains access to multiple marketing tools and services designed to help the company to generate greater visibility, capture new customers and increase revenues.

GlobeTech will once again be appearing at the annual Parkex Exhibition; which will this year be held at Earls Court, London, 2nd – 3rd March 2010.

The highlight of the stand will be a practical demonstration of their intuitive GPS tracking system.

This system allows parking mangers to track CEOs at all times, greatly improving safety and efficiency.

Visitors to the GlobeTech stand will also be able to view the latest handheld innovations.

Kelly continues, “Some smaller Local Authorities and organisations may feel that a system like GTicket is out of their reach due to their size and budget restrictions. We offer two services to ensure that this is not the case.”

The GlobeTech stand will be a fully inactive experience, as the team believe it is important not to just talk about the system, but to give parking professionals an opportunity to experience it first hand.

Kelly concludes, “We look forward to meeting all our current customers, and making new associations at Parkex in March.”

Despite current headlines of global economic uncertainty, GlobeTech continue on the path of growth.

Sales Manager, and co-owner, Kevin Kelly says, “We believe in our products and services, and had faith that despite economic troubles elsewhere, we had the experience and expertise to buck the trend.

“Our dedicated work force are even more energised following out relocation. The new premises offer up-to-date facilities for a profitable working environment.”

The location also allows for easy transportation, as it is situation within two minutes of Cork International Airport. This means GlobeTech can offer an even better one to one service to their clients across the country and further a field.
