Agena installs and manages Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) cameras for its UK SME and corporate customers' car parks to monitor usage, prevent abuse and ensure legitimate users have parking access. Other parking services include managing payments, electronic permits, patrol services and data intelligence.
In 2019 Car Park Management (UKCPM), one of the UK's largest providers of car park management solutions and Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) services to enterprise and SME customers, was acquired. Like Agena, UKCPM installs and manages ANPR cameras and provides patrol services to monitor usage, prevent abuse and ensure legitimate users have parking access. This was followed by the acquisition of Stafford-based iView, a proprietary software business which provides ANPR processing capability to the wider parking sector. In autumn 2020, Park Watch also joined the Group.
Since being backed by Sovereign the Group has grown from operating c.840 to over 6,000 sites throughout the UK. Today Agena is an integrated and scaled car park management business delivering an end-to-end service with market-leading proprietary technology and internal processing capabilities.
Sovereign is working with the management team to grow the business both organically and through strategic acquisition to meet the increasing demand for its services.
