Forecourts
Fuel drive-offs evidenced the moment they happen, and a 15 minute max stay that stops the forecourt becoming free parking.
Automated parking enforcement
Cameras read every plate, day and night. Every breach becomes a parking charge backed by evidence that stands up — issued, managed and recovered for you.
Where it works
Wherever bays are being used by people who shouldn't be there, the same rules apply: read the plate, check the list, evidence the breach.
Fuel drive-offs evidenced the moment they happen, and a 15 minute max stay that stops the forecourt becoming free parking.
Stop all-day commuter parking eating the bays your tenants pay for. Max-stay enforced automatically, shoppers never touched.
Residents keep their allocated bays. Tenants authorise their own visitors in seconds, and nobody phones the managing agent.
Guests and patients park freely on a permit or pass. Everyone else gets flagged, without a warden anywhere on site.
Staff and visitor bays kept for staff and visitors. Landlords manage their own list without a single phone call.
Manual enforcement runs on luck. Somebody has to see the car, somebody has to call it in, somebody has to drive out. Every link in that chain loses tickets.
A landlord spots a car that shouldn't be there and calls it in. If they happen to look. If they happen to call.
Twenty-four minutes across town, on your fuel and your payroll, chasing a report that is already going cold.
The car left before anyone arrived. No plate, no photo, no ticket. Revenue gone.
Every missed car is a ticket never issued.
How it works
Every plate in, every plate out, checked against the site's permit list in seconds. No phone calls. No drive-outs. No luck involved.
An ANPR camera watches the site around the clock, in any weather. Every vehicle in and out is logged the second it moves. Cameras supplied, fitted and maintained by us.
The plate is read the moment it passes, day or night, and confidence-scored on every read. High confidence moves on. Anything doubtful goes to a person, never straight to a ticket.
Permit list, visitor passes, grace periods, max-stay. The rules are yours, set per site. Permit holders pass silently and nothing ever lands on them.
A breach is flagged the moment it happens: plate photo, overview photo, timestamps and a written reason, assembled into a ready-made evidence pack behind every charge that goes out.
The platform
Every decision the system makes is logged, reasoned and photographed. When a motorist appeals, the pack already exists.
Every decision is logged with a full written reason and the exact rule settings in force at that moment. When a motorist appeals, the pack already exists.
Plate and overview, timestamped, attached automatically.
Doubtful reads queue for a person. No exceptions.
Grace periods, max-stay and permits, tuned site by site.
Evidence deletes itself on a per-site retention clock. The audit record lawfully remains.
Landlord and tenant portals run under your name. Your clients see you, not us.
Operators run enforcement. Landlords run their own list. Tenants sort their own visitors. Nobody phones anybody.
The live feed and the contravention queue, site by site. Review the held reads, release the evidence packs, watch the numbers move. Enforcement becomes a desk job measured in seconds.
Landlords manage their own site's whitelist. Add a car in seconds, remove it just as fast. Nobody phones the operator to get a plate added. Ever again.
Shop and flat occupants authorise their own visitors from a phone, capped per site so it can't be abused. A pass that runs out while the car is still parked becomes an overstay ticket, with the pass window spelled out in the evidence.
Detection
Enforcement
One supplier, one point of contact, from camera to collected payment. Already have a ticketing provider you want to keep? We feed evidence straight into it instead.
Set the sliders to your site. Rough numbers are fine — the pattern is what matters.
A blocked permit holder, a lost customer visit, a bay you cannot let.
Estimated cost of misuse

Roughly £2,920 a month, every month, on one site.

Straight answers on how ANPR enforcement works, who does what, and where the legal lines sit.
ANPR (Automatic Number Plate Recognition) parking enforcement uses cameras to read every vehicle's number plate as it enters and leaves a car park. Each plate is checked against the site's permit list and parking rules. Where a vehicle breaches those rules, the system records the evidence needed to issue a parking charge, without anyone having to be on site.
We do. Once the evidence pack is complete, and any doubtful read has been checked by a person, the parking charge notice is issued as part of the Vertex service through our fully accredited issuing operation. Notices go out under your brand, not ours.
Every read is confidence-scored. High-confidence reads are checked against the permit list automatically. Anything low-confidence, obscured or ambiguous is queued for a person to review and is never auto-ticketed. This is deliberate: a wrongly issued charge costs far more in appeals and reputation than a missed one.
Every flagged event carries an overview photograph of the vehicle, a plate photograph, entry and exit timestamps, and a written reason naming the rule that was breached and the exact rule settings in force at that moment. Because the pack is assembled when the event happens, it already exists if the motorist appeals later.
Number plates are personal data under UK GDPR, so the system is built around that. Evidence is deleted automatically on a per-site retention clock set by the site's controller, while a minimal audit record of decisions is lawfully retained for accountability and appeals. The system does not use facial recognition and does not attempt to identify drivers or passengers.
No. Anyone issuing parking charges and requesting registered keeper details from the DVLA must be a member of an Accredited Trade Association, either the British Parking Association or the International Parking Community. Our issuing operation meets that requirement, so you do not need to join anything or change your own accreditation position to enforce your car park.
We handle it as part of the service. Registered keeper details are obtained from the DVLA under the KADOE rules that govern keeper enquiries, payments and appeals are managed for you, and unpaid charges move into debt recovery without you chasing anyone. You deal with one supplier and see one report; the paperwork happens behind the scenes.
No. If you already have a ticketing and debt recovery provider you want to keep, we feed evidence packs straight into it and nothing about your back office changes. If you do not, Vertex runs the whole chain: issuing, payments, appeals and recovery. Either way the portals and the notices run under your brand rather than ours.
Retail parks with commuter and overstay problems, residential sites with allocated bays and visitor parking, hotels and healthcare sites where guests and patients need free access but others do not, and business parks with staff and visitor bays. The same rules engine covers all of them, tuned per site.
Yes. Landlords manage their own site whitelist directly, without phoning the operator. Shop and flat occupants issue their own visitor passes from a phone, capped per site so the facility cannot be abused. A pass that expires while the vehicle is still parked becomes an overstay, with the pass window recorded in the evidence.
A pilot runs in three steps: we survey the site and agree camera positions and rules, cameras are supplied and fitted and the portals are switched on, then results are measured against the manual way of working before any wider rollout is agreed.
No fleet-wide leap of faith. One site, measured honestly against the manual way, rolled out only if it wins.
