Database
The database model was designed and improved during four sprints. Since this is a SaaS solution, we had to make it a multi-company. Every company has hundreds of users, which are either operators or attendants. A car is parked and validated in a particular zone, so we always know all information sliced by either zone, car, or attendant. We designed storage for tons of incoming validation requests.
Plate recognition
We developed our plate recognition solution using the OpenCV library. We launched MVP with our implementation, and in a year, we switched to OpenALPR. As a result, the system can recognize license plates of not even the best quality, purity, or additional images.
UI/UX
It was necessary to elaborate on the UX design of our parking app, and we created the low-fidelity prototypes first, which gave us a better understanding of how it will work.
As for UI design, it was necessary to choose a color scheme that will differ from competitors’ apps. We decided to use a purple color since a darker color makes the customer experience more comfortable, especially at night. And our design team also built a UI kit that contains all elements a Parking App is based on.
Project technology stack
The Insurance industry is known for complex processes explained by the high level of responsibility.
