ALPR That Protects Your Stores and Powers Your Operations

Deter Crime Before It Reaches the Floor

PlateSmart scans every vehicle visiting your parking lot and triggers real-time alerts when known suspect plates are detected.

Criminals who know their plates are being captured are far less likely to choose your store as a target.

Detect Patterns Across Every Location

Organized retail crime operates across multiple stores in coordinated waves — a pattern no single-location camera can expose.

PlateSmart connects vehicle data across your entire network, surfacing repeat offenders and cross-location activity before the next target is hit.

Protect Revenue — From Theft to Chargebacks

When fraud occurs, timestamped vehicle data from that moment becomes evidence to effectively investigate criminal incidents and fraudulent insurance claims.

PlateSmart ARES captures plate, make, color, and type at every entry and exit point — giving investigators the documentation to support law enforcement cases and dispute chargebacks.
