Tannery Creek Systems was founded by Bill Franklin, P.Eng., Jeff Bethune, P.Eng., with Raphael Leung joining soon after. Their vision was to revolutionize parking enforcement technology.
Our first commercial product, autoChalk®, was launched as a critical success. autoChalk® garnered several industry awards for the initial ParkPlus system in Calgary thus establishing Tannery Creek as an innovator in parking enforcement.
autoChalk® Parkade launched, bringing fixed-camera LPR to parking structures. The system tracks vehicles at entry and exit, automatically applying payments and generating citations for mail-out.
autoChalk® Handheld launched as one of the first Android-based parking enforcement apps, replacing bulky dedicated devices. Officers could now use their own smartphone to run a full-featured enforcement system.
autoChalk® Compact launched, delivering the same powerful AI/ML license plate recognition as our flagship Mobile system, but without LIDAR—ideal for customers who prefer a smaller visual footprint.
While the autoChalk family has become more sophisticated with mobile, fixed camera, handheld, and office solutions, our core principles remain the same: making people's lives easier, safer, and more efficient.
