GateIQ reads plates at your entry lane and opens the gate for paying members only — no RFID, no app, no staff required. Works with your existing POS.
Heated windshields — standard on nearly every vehicle built after 2020 — use a metallic coating that blocks RFID signals. Your member pulls up, waves their sticker at the reader, and nothing happens. They call the attendant. Or they tailgate someone else.
License plates are always on the exterior. They don't care about windshield technology. Plates always work.
With RFID stickers, members hand them to friends. With app-based systems, members share their phone or screenshot the QR code. Every unauthorized wash is a full membership price you didn't collect.
License plates are tied to a specific vehicle — they can't be forwarded, photographed, or transferred. If the plate isn't in your whitelist, the gate doesn't open.
Many LPR solutions require you to rip out your existing point-of-sale and replace the entire entry system. The hardware cost is just the beginning — you're also retraining staff and migrating membership data.
GateIQ adds plate recognition to whatever you already have. Your POS stays. Your membership database stays. GateIQ just adds the plate-to-gate enforcement layer.
No rip-and-replace. GateIQ sits alongside your existing system.
Nothing changes. Customer pays. Your POS records the sale as it always has.
Staff adds the vehicle's plate via the web dashboard — or use the API to automate this from your POS when a membership is purchased.
Camera reads the plate. GateIQ checks the whitelist. Gate opens. Under one second. No app. No sticker. No staff interaction.
Plate not in whitelist — gate stays closed. The event is logged. They use the pay station as normal. Zero leakage to the membership lane.
If buddy-passing costs 5% of membership revenue, here's what recovering that looks like:
Illustrative example. Actual results vary by membership count and pass-sharing rate.
