“Our journey is about transformation and continuous improvement. We are on a path to becoming a full-service digital technology provider, offering a holistic solution encompassing the entire lifecycle of IT offerings.

Our smart parking solution, Park Smart Plus (PS+), leverages geolocation technology to provide seamless parking experiences and improve traffic management, energy efficiency, and carbon footprint reduction, while our local council management system, Kolleq, enhances administrative efficiency and service delivery. We aim to develop sustainable, intelligent urban settings by working hand in hand with local governments and other related parties,” she added.
