License plate inventory, transfer, and issuance data from ERT systems can be sent directly to PICS via Web Services interfaces, as utilized by participating ERT vendors. Plate inventory records are updated in real-time, resulting in inventory leveling that exactly matches the need for a given ERT partner.
