Problem
Traditional parking payment methods often lead to driver frustration due to the need for physical payments, app downloads, and concerns about incurring parking charge notices (PCNs). Car park owners face challenges in maximizing revenue, ensuring compliance, and maintaining a positive driver experience.

The platform leverages automatic license plate recognition (ANPR) technology to enable frictionless parking experiences and increase revenue for car park owners. Hozah Autopay allows drivers to register their vehicles once and automatically pay for parking each time they visit a Hozah-enabled car park, eliminating the need for manual payments or app downloads. The system also offers a suite of payment options, data insights, and end-to-end management tools to optimize car park performance and enhance customer satisfaction.
