Case Study: Autopay reshapes parking with free-flow parking software from Helmes

How their technology is helping to modernize parking systems

Helmes collaborated with Autopay, a forward-thinking Norwegian company aiming to reshape the parking industry. The challenge was to move beyond traditional gated lots and parking meters by creating a seamless, ticketless system that could automatically identify vehicles and process payments, thereby improving urban mobility and traffic flow.

The solution developed by Helmes was a pioneering free-flow parking platform using proprietary Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) technology. This system allows cars to enter and exit without barriers, automatically deducting fees from a linked payment card. As a result, the Autopay platform now handles nearly 2 million transactions weekly for over 3.5 million users, providing a scalable and efficient one-stop solution for parking operators and a hassle-free experience for drivers.
