All-day parkers gone
Time-stamped evidence identifies vehicles using the forecourt as free parking, managed by your policy.

The forecourt guide
ANPR that helps the forecourt trade.
Enforcement that never bites a customer
Forecourt ANPR has a reputation problem built on wrongful charges to paying customers. Parka's design removes the failure mode: transactions register the plate, so anyone who bought fuel, a wash, a charge, or a coffee is a customer — however long the site was queued.
Time limits then do their real job: freeing customer bays from commuters and airport parkers, with photographic evidence behind every action and grace periods that keep policy proportionate.
EV charging changes the maths
A fuel visit takes five minutes; a charge takes forty — and a squatting vehicle can block a charger for hours after finishing. ANPR pairs dwell data with charge sessions so bay rules are enforced automatically, chargers rotate, and the site's charging revenue reflects its investment.
One live view across the estate
Dwell time, bay occupancy, wash queue, and repeat visits — per site and across the portfolio. Operators see which forecourts leak capacity to abuse, where EV demand justifies more chargers, and how layout changes actually perform.
GDPR-first, ISO 27001 certified, and equally at home on a single independent site or a branded network across the UK and Ireland.
Common questions
How do petrol stations stop all-day parkers?
ANPR time-stamps every vehicle on and off the forecourt. Plates with long dwell and no transaction are flagged with photo evidence and handled under your policy — while every paying customer is automatically protected.
Can queuing or shopping customers be wrongly charged?
No. Purchases register the plate as a customer visit, so time spent queuing for the wash or browsing the shop never counts against them. This is the core design difference from dumb time-limit systems.
How are EV charging bays enforced?
Bay dwell is matched to charging sessions: vehicles occupying a charger without charging — or long after finishing — are flagged automatically, keeping chargers earning and available.
Does this work across a network of sites?
Yes — every forecourt reports into one dashboard with per-site rules, so an independent single site and a fifty-site network run on the same platform.
