Is the software solution at the center of our business. Many features which are included are the results of interactions with our clients, integrators and end-users.
In fact we would like to think of us as a high-end tailor who delivers a suite for customer's needs. Metrici LPR delivered different solutions to our partners, adapted and tailored for the customer's specifications.
We not only offer you a software, but we shape it for a perfect fit to your business model and needs. The number of applications to use license plate recognition software or character recognition is only limited by our imagination.
