Sentry Equipment Launches New Website
Sentry Equipment Online Presence
Waterford has partnered with Sentry Equipment (www.SentryEquipment.com) to build a new online presence for their businesses, create a secure sales workflow system for submitting online quotes, and build and manage social media campaigns. Sentry Equipment, incorporated in August of 1980, has risen to the top of its profession by offering a complete line of conveying equipment and machinery and Waterford is excited to help them reflect their business on the web and in social media!
“After years of getting by with a homemade website, we finally made the decision to take our online presence to the next level. We researched local website designers and went through a lengthy interview process. Since the beginning we’ve felt like it was a collaborative effort rather than a customer / vendor transaction. The result is something that our whole company can take pride in. We have other projects coming up in the near future, and we are looking forward to working with Waterford and Steve once again.”

The Statue of Liberty Reservation System
- Mike Matechak, Program Manager
Background
After having closed the Statue of Liberty (SOL) to visitors for security reasons after the 911 terrorist attacks, the National Parks Service (NPS) planned a re-opening in 2004 implementing process and system improvements for advanced ferry ticket sales and monument tour reservations to allow better demand management, better information, and an improved visitor flow through the entire process. Moving forward all tickets would be reserved in advance through the world wide web and through the call center using the same online reservation system.
Solution
- Reservations increased while long visitor lines on-site were actually reduced
- Security was improved
- Customer service increased
- Ticket printing and management was increased
- Overall gross revenues and NET profits were increased
