Title Pawn/Payday Loan Operations Management

A company with over 35 title pawn shops -- they lend short-term money to people with suspect credit by using their car or their upcoming paycheck as colateral -- needed a way to centralize their loan/pawn record-keeping and to produce reports without the time-consuming task of manually collecting the data from each store and summarizing it using spreadsheets.

After showing the client the difference between a web application and a Citrix-based Windows application to do the type of application they wanted and the possible environments to handle 35 stores via a centralized administration infrastructure, the client chose the Citrix solution and we used SQL Server 2005 and .NET to create a Windows-based application that would track the client's pawn/loan from beginning to end, produce over 30 reports -- including district-level and operations-level summary reports -- and manage each store's checking and savings accounts, as well as synchronize all activity with QuickBooks for their accounting department to manage their corporate cash flow.

Our quote was half the price of our agency competition, with a few more features the competition hadn't considered.
