Our story

It started with license plates. Existing global recognition systems struggled with the realities of the Gulf — Arabic script, emirate-specific formats, and plate designs no generic model had ever seen. So we built our own. We collected and annotated hundreds of thousands of real vehicle images and trained custom machine-learning models from the ground up. That became ANPR.software, our first original product, followed by LPR.software for license plate recognition beyond the region.

Building those products taught us something bigger: the hardest part of vehicle AI isn't reading a plate — it's understanding the car itself, reliably, in messy real-world conditions. Insurers, rental companies, fleets, and dealerships kept asking the same question: can your models tell us what's wrong with the car, not just who owns it?

DamageDetection.software is our answer. Built on the same computer-vision foundation as ANPR.software and LPR.software, it reads a vehicle's exterior the way an expert appraiser would — pinpointing every dent, scratch, and broken part, grading severity, and returning structured data any system can act on. What used to take days of back-and-forth now takes a single API call.

One team, three products

DamageDetection.software joins the family of computer-vision products we've built for the automotive industry.

ANPR.software

Our first original product — license plate recognition for the GCC.

LPR.software

Global license plate recognition API for parking, tolling, and access.

DamageDetection.software

AI vehicle exterior damage detection for the automotive industry.

What we value

Accuracy first

We obsess over precision. Our models are continuously trained on real-world vehicles so detections stay reliable across makes, colors, and conditions.

Objective by default

Every vehicle is graded the same way. Removing human variance is the whole point — consistency is what makes AI assessment trustworthy.

Privacy & security

Images are processed and discarded by default, encrypted end to end, and can run entirely inside your own environment.

Built for developers

A clean REST API, predictable JSON, and clear docs. Integrating damage detection should take an afternoon, not a quarter.
