The revenue from this software as a service business increased from $0.4 million in 2019 to approximately $1.7 million (unaudited) in 2022, representing a remarkable 280% growth in three years.

Rekor's platform provides a seamless and secure shopping experience to customers across the globe. As of the end of 2022, the platform has customers in over 90 countries, demonstrating its rapid expansion and the growing demand for its products and services worldwide.

Through the easy-to-use e-commerce website, commercial businesses and municipalities can conveniently purchase a full range of Rekor's high-value vehicle recognition solutions with just a credit card and a click. The platform enables self-service sign-up for a range of use cases for software developers, commercial and residential security, controlled access applications, and recognition of returning customers' vehicles at car washes and tire service centers, to name just a few.

Affordable entry-level plans allow small or single-location businesses and developers to become familiar with advanced vehicle recognition services. The low price point makes it easy to get started with Rekor and lets them scale as needed in the future.
