Short answer: your LPR vendor sends each plate read to GetCarWashPOS through the API connector; the POS looks up the vehicle and returns the member status to the lane. We set it up with you and your vendor.
What your vendor needs to support
- Sending plate events to an outside system (webhook or API call) with the plate text and a lane or camera ID.
- Showing a response on a lane screen or signal, if you want the answer displayed at the entrance.
Steps
- Tell the onboarding desk which LPR vendor and model you use.
- We create API credentials for your account and share the endpoint with your vendor.
- Your vendor configures the camera to send each read.
- Test with a member car, a past-due car and a non-member; check the answers.
- Agree what the attendant does in each case and write it on the pay station.
Privacy
Plates are personal data in many places. Store plates only on customers’ vehicles, post a notice that plates are read for membership checks, and set how long visit history is kept.
