Smart Places theory & practice

Smart Place has just had its biggest upgrade since launch. The new platform is more resilient at the camera edge, comes with DVLA-enriched search built into every plate read, runs faster across the dashboard, and is built to keep adding the features estates ask for next. Here's what's new — and what it changes for your week the next time a board paper, levy ballot or police request lands on your desk.

Discover how OneTek Business Solutions revolutionized West Chester BID with SMART Place, an AI-powered surveillance and data platform. This ground breaking solution goes beyond traditional CCTV, offering real-time insights into security, traffic, and environmental data. Learn how SMART Place enhances safety, supports sustainability, and empowers BIDs with the tools to make data-driven decisions for a smarter, greener future.

As the race to net zero intensifies, BIDs have a crucial role to play in shaping sustainable communities. By leveraging AI-powered Smart Place technology, BIDs can gather real-time data on vehicle emissions and environmental impact, helping to track progress toward net zero. This data empowers BIDs to lobby local governments and engage businesses in making informed, greener decisions. With upcoming legislation requiring businesses to report carbon output, BIDs can lead the way in creating cleaner, more sustainable districts that benefit future generations.

Data is transforming how Business Improvement Districts (BIDs) operate, and our AI-powered Smart Place platform is at the forefront. By turning millions of anonymized data points into actionable insights, BIDs can optimize everything from traffic flow to sustainability efforts. This enhanced system consolidates multiple data sources, providing customizable reports that help BID managers demonstrate their impact and plan for future success. As data becomes a critical tool for long-term BID growth, our platform offers the solution for meeting the evolving needs of businesses and communities.

AI-enhanced security is transforming how BIDs—from town centers to industrial estates—manage safety. With AI, CCTV footage becomes searchable, making incident response faster and more efficient. Discover how West Chester BID leveraged this technology to enhance security and sustainability in their district.
