GAME COMMISSION ANNOUNCES FINAL PHASE OF TRANSITION TO POINT-OF-SALE ELECTRONIC LICENSE SYSTEM
Expressing growing optimism, Pennsylvania Game Commission Executive Director Carl G. Roe today announced that the agency was taking final steps this week to fully implement its electronic license sale system, commonly referred to as "point-of-sale."
In August, Active Network took over Automated Licensing Systems (ALS), the company originally hired to produce the new license sale system. A pilot electronic license sale system was launched at 15 sites on Sept. 22, and expanded in mid-December to some of the agency's larger issuing agents.
"Since the pilot phase began, we have continued to add new agents to the system, and there have been no problems," Roe said. "Clearly, it appears the new point-of-sale license system is ready to go. This final phase will enable the agency to be ready in June, when the 2009-10 licenses go on sale, to sell licenses in a manner that will be a huge improvement for the agency, our issuing agents and our license-buying customers.
"We appreciate the willingness of those agents who participated in the pilot and expansion phase. As we now move to fully implement our point-of-sale system, we welcome those remaining agents and will work with them to ensure all is ready well in advance of the license year."
