Hackney Enforcement - Politess a winner but CPS runs with Microflex

A Hackney council spokesman said," Politess was certainly our preferred and recommended option but the enforcement contractor is tasked with supplying the HHC and in the end it was their decision".

Schweers GmbH (www.schweers.de) the German manufacturers of the Politess HHC system, distributed and supported in the UK by Civica Systems Ltd said, " certain aspects in the UK market are different in a number of ways to our traditional markets in Europe, America and Australia. Despite getting everything right we are naturally extremely disappointed at the final outcome in Hackney. Nonetheless we shall continue with product developments aimed at the UK and shall introduce several new innovations during early Autumn building on the ability to fully interface with any of the existing back office systems based on current RTA compliance through a variety of data exchange formats, that will keep the Politess X600 as the HHC of choice for parking managers."
