PlateSmart Technologies Selects PRA Location Services as Exclusive Reseller of “Software Only” LPR Solution
Oldsmar, FL (PRWEB) April 28, 2015 -- PlateSmart Technologies, the industry leader in License Plate Recognition (LPR), today announced an exclusive licensing agreement with PRA Location Services, a business of PRA Group (Nasdaq: PRAA), to provide LPR technology for PLS’ repossession and recovery services nationwide.
PlateSmart partnered with PRA Location Services (PRALS) as the exclusive licensee to the repossession and recovery vertical because of PRALS’ leading position in the auto recovery market, its financial stability as part of a public company, and its substantial nationwide system deployment commitment.
“PlateSmart was a perfect fit for our next wave of nationwide LPR system deployments because its disruptive LPR solution is accurate, simple to install, and will dramatically reduce monthly system costs for our recovery agents,” said Steve Roberts, president of PRA Group’s Business and Government Services.
PlateSmart CEO John Chigos said, “We selected PRALS because we share a similar vision and philosophy—strong marketplace leadership now and cutting-edge innovation for the future. This arrangement is a win-win solution that allows our best-in-class LPR solution to be deployed by a clear leader in the repossession and recovery industry.”
PlateSmart’s software-only LPR solution includes these features:
• Affordable cameras that are completely adjustable for different use cases
• Option to mount cameras on either the exterior or the interior of the vehicle
• Simple installation and set-up in just minutes, with plug-in cabling and power
• State-of-the-art data management with an intuitive, easy-to-use interface and simple camera calibration
PlateSmart has continued to expand in a wide variety of vertical markets including physical security, counterterrorism and business intelligence. The company recently earned the 2015 Govies Award in video analytics from Security Products magazine for its innovative new high-definition LPR engine, which will soon be a standard feature in all PlateSmart solutions.
