I started building this after watching my own HOA board spend $2,200/month on a security patrol we couldn't verify ever showed up. No photos, no logs, no proof. Just an invoice and the same complaints from residents every month.
The original version was a simple plate lookup tool. Enforcer types a plate, sees if it's registered, takes action. But boards kept asking for more: guest passes, violation logging, fine payments, tow documentation. It grew into a full enforcement platform from there.
The feature we're most excited about right now is citation notices. Physical 4x6 windshield labels we print and ship to communities, each with a unique QR code. Violator scans it, sees the photo evidence from the enforcer, and pays via Stripe in under 30 seconds. Collection rates on paper tickets are basically zero. With photo evidence on the payment page, most people just pay.
What we're most proud of: zero hardware. No scanners, no proprietary devices, no per-device licenses. Any phone with a browser becomes an enforcement tool. That alone saves communities $15K-$30K/year compared to the patrol contracts they're replacing.
We serve HOAs, apartment communities, and property management companies. If you manage parking for a community or work in prop-tech, I'd love your feedback, especially on anything that feels clunky or missing.
Happy to answer questions about the enforcement flow, how we handle multi-property management, or anything else. Ask away!
