Case study: e-impound in the City of Paris

Nothing beats a real case to understand the benefits of a solution. Let's have a look at the City of Paris.

  • Call for tenders in 2016
  • Live since January 1, 2017
Goal 1 · Efficiency

Increase of the impound rate, from 20% to 40%. Check!

The city's first objective was to optimise the action of its agents. With this need in mind, a call for tenders was issued in 2016, to which we responded.

One key figure measures the effect of such a change: the impound rate, the share of vehicles actually removed among all requests initiated. It directly reflects the speed of everyone involved and the performance of the tool. Since go-live on January 1, 2017, the rate has doubled, from 20% to 40% in three years.

Goal 2 · Digital

Save money. Check!

The digital transformation of local and state services has been a major issue in recent years. E-impound is a complete alternative for managing the impound process.

The result? The City of Paris went from 32,000 paper sheet books a year to fewer than 2,000 for this activity: a 93.75% reduction. Eco-friendly and cost-saving!

Goal 3 · Quality

Improve process efficiency. Check!

Our processes guide law enforcement agents at every step, and all information is kept in a protected format.

In three years, losses and errors on impound requests fell from 10% to less than 1%, and complete, detailed digital inventories reduced annual disputes by more than 50%.

Goal 4 · Adoption

Convenience and adoption. Check!

But our users explain this better than we do.

“We immediately see the location of the offence on the map. Clicking on a bubble to send it to a tow truck, instead of typing the whole report on a keyboard, saves time.”
