EnforcementStage 1 of 3Scan to Cite

One tap.
One swipe.
Thirty cites a minute.

Handheld scan-to-cite for events, pop-ups, and lots without cameras. One officer, one tap, one citation.

Case study

From 7 violations a month to 651.

A university deployed Spot on a 16-space, 30-minute visitor lot. Manual patrols averaged ~7 violations / month. In the first 30 days with automated enforcement, the system captured 651, with zero added headcount.

“We went from arguing about whether the lot was being abused to having a queue of timestamped evidence every morning.”
Director of Parking & TransportationMid-sized private university

Permitting

Permitting as flexible as your operation.

Rate plans, permit products, parking rules, and lot coverage, composed exactly how your admins configure them in Spot, with a separate chain for every parker type.

Faculty

Dedicated faculty product with its own rate plan and rule.

Faculty permits run on a zero-dollar annual plan, a green-tagged product, and a rule that only allows staff plates, then coverage rolls up to your main campus lot.

Lot coverage

Rules attach to one lot or many; enforcement follows the same graph your admins configure.

Real orgs run dozens of permit types across hundreds of lots.

Officer tools

The Spot Watch app, in three modes.

Officers carry one app, for live lot status, scan-to-cite, and a queue of flagged sessions surfaced by the cameras. Same app at every level of automation.

Citation lifecycle

Every citation, from issued to closed.

Citations flow through one funnel, paid, mailed, appealed, or voided. Appeals branch to approved or denied. Hover a stage or path to follow it through.

Integrations

Plays nicely with the rest of your stack.

Physical gates open on a permitted plate. Mail-by-Citation sends notices through compliant 3rd-party vendors. SMS keeps parkers in the loop.

Physical Gate Integration

LPR opens the gate. Officer doesn't need to.

Connect Spot to your existing gate controller. Permitted plates raise the arm; everyone else gets routed to pay or check-in.
