Everything parking enforcement needs, in one place
Six capability areas, one shared source of truth. Here’s what each one does, and how they fit together.
Handheld enforcement
Scan, check, and decide in seconds
The officer app turns a plate photo into an informed enforcement decision, with everything needed to ticket or boot correctly, on the spot.
- On-device plate capture with license-plate OCR, plus a manual-entry fallback.
- Instant lookup against monthly rosters and paid sessions, with lot-group equivalence so sibling lots count.
- Prior-obligation summary: unpaid tickets escalated to the current tier, plus any open boot, driving the “ticket or boot” prompt.
- Typo-tolerant near-match (O/0, I/1, …) so a misread plate doesn’t become a wrongful ticket; overrides are audited.
- Photo-evidence tickets and boots, with escalating fines snapshotted at issuance.
- Thermal-printed slips on Sunmi handhelds, with a browser-print fallback when needed.

Citation payments
Drivers pay online, money lands in your account
A clean public payment portal and Stripe Connect mean citations get paid fast, and the revenue settles directly to the operator, not to us.
- Drivers pay by ticket number or full plate from a single box, no account required.
- Pay one citation or bundle every unpaid obligation on a plate into one checkout.
- Stripe Connect direct charges settle to your account, with an optional, transparent platform fee.
- One webhook serves every operator; refunds and disputes are routed automatically.
- Email receipts and a public online contest/appeal flow.
- All money is handled in integer cents end to end, no rounding drift, ever.

Monthly parkers & billing
Rosters and recurring revenue, handled
Manage the companies and individuals who park with you monthly, and bill them, without leaving the platform.
- Clients (the paying entity) with parker allotments, vehicles, and home-lot coverage rules.
- A magic-link parker portal for companies and individuals to manage vehicles and billing.
- Stripe Billing subscriptions at the client level: card, ACH, or Stripe-emailed net-14 invoices.
- Self-service customer portal plus a per-client admin billing panel.
- Delinquency can feed enforcement (opt-in): a daily sweep pauses past-due clients and deactivates their parkers, and payment restores exactly those.
Pay-to-park
Sell time on a lot with nothing but a QR code
Turn any lot into a paid lot in minutes. Lotably is its own session source, so what a driver buys is what enforcement honors.
- Define a pass catalog: fixed-duration, calendar-day, or until-a-time passes, with sale windows that can wrap midnight.
- Per-lot price overrides and promo codes.
- Printable per-lot QR posters, drivers buy time in seconds on their own phone.
- Sessions are honored natively by the plate check, with lot-group equivalence and typo protection.
- Extensions append time; refunds and comps from admin; receipts by email and optional SMS.
Admin & reporting
Run the whole operation from one console
Your team gets a fast admin with everything configurable as data, fines, branding, permissions, and features, not a support ticket.
- Live dashboard plus search across tickets, boots, parkers, clients, lots, passes, and sessions.
- Per-operator violation catalog with base fines and escalation tiers, add or retire types with no migration.
- Branding self-service: logo, colors, support contacts, document prefixes, and timezone.
- Granular per-user permissions with immediate revocation, change access and it takes effect at once.
- CSV/JSON exports of tickets, boots, parkers, payments, and subscriptions, all audit-logged.
- Append-only audit log with support-mode actions stamped on every entry.
Security & multi-tenancy
Many operators, one platform, zero crossover
Lotably was built multi-tenant from the data layer up, so each operator’s data, money, and branding stay strictly their own.
- Every business record carries a tenant id; a query guard scopes and stamps it automatically and throws on a missing or mismatched context.
- Cross-tenant access happens only through an audited platform area; support and impersonation actions are logged.
- Encrypted integration secrets at rest and per-tenant rate limiting.
- Structured logs and error monitoring tagged per operator.
- A clear data lifecycle: exports, retention windows, suspension/offboarding, and managed backups with point-in-time recovery.
Integrations & data
Works with your existing stack
Already running parking hardware, a pay-station vendor, or a permit system? You don’t have to rip it out. Lotably brings in the data it needs so enforcement reflects what drivers already have.
- Import your monthly parker roster and vehicles by CSV, so enforcement checks against your existing permit holders from day one.
- Pull paid-session data from a supported provider (ParkingBoxx today) so a driver who already paid is never wrongly cited.
- No direct integration for your provider yet? Manual entry and CSV session import work with any lot or vendor, with the same enforcement behavior.
- A pluggable session-provider architecture means new integrations are a focused add, not a rebuild. Tell us what you run and we’ll scope it.
- Payments and plate recognition connect through your own provider accounts, so your data and money stay yours.
