STATEMENT OF CAPABILITY

SCHWEERS AUSTRALIA PTY LTD

(trading as Schweers Asia-Pacific)

SCHWEERS INTERNATIONAL

Schweers Australia Pty Ltd (previously known as Schweers Handheld Computers) was commenced in 2006 as the exclusive distributor and service provider of Schweers technology in Australia and South-East Asia (APAC). The business was and is principally owned by its Managing Director Arunas Blandis with Michael Schweers who joined the business as a shareholder and Director. 

In 1988 Michael Schweers had commenced the Schweers International business and was soon regarded world-wide as the pioneer in electronic infringement processing by developing unequalled robust hardware (Ticketman handheld computer) and ‘Politess’ (software applications) which preceded the use of mobile phones in this industry. 

We are now focusing entirely on software applications. Politess is fully compatible with standard Android smartphones such as Google Pixel, Samsung and robust Zebra devices. Software apps are available for both Android and IOS operating systems. 

Schweers Asia Pacific acts as the South-East Asia hub of the Schweers Group sales base, offering project management, after-sales service and support for local valued customers in this market. 

Since commencement, the business is proud to state that over all the clients it has serviced it has achieved an average ‘Schweers system installation life’ in excess of eight years per client and has included:

  • Canterbury Council
  • City of Perth
  • City of Yarra
  • Gympie Regional Council
  • Livingstone Regional Council
  • Maribyrnong City Council
  • Mosman Council
  • Whyalla City Council
  • Merri-bek City Council (formerly known as Moreland City Council)
  • Sensen Networks Pty Ltd (software for Ipswich Council)
  • Tenix Solutions Pty Ltd (now owned by Database Consultants Pty Ltd)

Demonstrable early innovations for this industry were: 

  • APAC working in partnership with Vehicle Monitoring Systems Pty Ltd (VMS) and with the assistance of Maribyrnong City Council (MCC) pioneered a display of a working system comprising in-ground sensors (VMS) and a Schweers Infringement Ticket Issuance System at a MCC carpark in 2009/2010. 
  • APAC and Sensen Networks Pty Ltd (Sensen) with the assistance of Canterbury City Council (CCC) and commissioned by CCC, in 2012 successfully pioneered a working system comprising vehicle mounted cameras (Sensen) and a Schweers Infringement Ticket Issuance System.
  • In 2011, APAC and the Schweers International technical team, with the assistance of Maribyrnong City Council (MCC), demonstrated successfully the first known officersafety tracking capability in Australia, providing an “early alert” response alarm for an MCC officer whose responsibility was to collect used syringes from an un-safe area and being able to provide rapid support to the officer, if and as required.

Schweers Worldwide

Schweers International provides proven and robust Enforcement products and services efficiently in an all-in-one application. We place high value on product and service quality since client satisfaction is our primary business. 

Intuitive user interface enables Officers to input/scan a license plate and verify it online for legitimate payments or permissions via online connections to any third-party supplier of intern permits. 

We have successfully created online connectors with motor vehicle registrations, so the user only needs to input/scan the plate and all other vehicle-related details will be instantly obtained from the vehicle register, speeding up the infringement issuing procedure. 

Similarly, we have developed linkages with several other agencies such as Mobile parking providers (Pay-by-Phone, Pay-by-Plate, Pay-by-Space, several parking meters providers), handicap permits, registers, VOI (vehicle of interest), black and whitelist from home department, and so on. 

Using the Politess system, all data is uploaded to Web-office and retrieved on smartphones instantly, around the clock. Politess Web-office includes a large range of capabilities, including Backoffice administration, Towing, Shift management service, Tasks, Notebook and Special number plates and much more. Our expert personnel are responsible for all aspects of the quality, availability and reliability of the Politess system and services, as well as customer satisfaction.

Our service offer includes mobile device management (MDM) services to remotely verify, control and monitor applications and services, allowing our professionals 24/7 to install, update and maintain the system. In addition to email and phone enquiries, our Odoo Ticketing system allows customers to contact the service and support staff directly through service tickets. 

Currently, Schweers International has more than 250 clients worldwide, ranging from large cities with up to 1,500 smartphones to small towns/customers with one smartphone. Schweers is the largest parking enforcement provider service in Germany and offers state-ofthe- art technology also to its clients in the United States, Canada, Denmark, Australia, Austria, Norway, Luxembourg and Finland. We have a history of working with local governments all around the world. For example, we offer real-time services in Portland, Oregon (USA), Ottawa (Canada) as well as many other cities and our customers are happy with both our products and services. 

1,500 officers in the German capital city of Berlin are utilizing our application to issue more than two million infringements annually, generating millions of Euros each month. 

Large private clients of Schweers International include Q-Park in Denmark, together with the city governments. 

Q-Park uses our product and reliable service to issue over a thousand infringements every day. With our software loaded on mobile devices, more than 100 Q-Park employees operate parking control throughout the entire country of Denmark, while intern officers keep an eye on the situation in Weboffice. 

In addition to Q-Park, Schweers has satisfied clients in about 40 other communes throughout Denmark. 

PRM (Park Raum Management) is another private customer in Germany and Austria which is using 100 plus smartphones to issue more than 1,300 infringements daily. PRM is also using our Backoffice module to process infringement payments and process complaints, appeals etc. 

In addition, four different providers are linked to our system to check online payments and permits. Furthermore, we have built a link with fixed cameras at entry/exit points where parking is permitted for a certain duration. With the aid of fixed camera integration, about one-third of infringements are created at PRM and infringements are automatically delivered to violators.

Schweers’ commitment to all clients

Schweers Australia and Schweers International will deliver and service a compliant Enforcement Solution to your City, based upon proven standards and customised to your City’s demands.
