# The QR Blue solution

One central database, one unique QR per vehicle, three interfaces: the authority's back office, the residents' portal and the officers' enforcement app.

## Key concepts

### A unique QR, without the plate

The QR does not contain the registration number: the link between plate and QR is kept on the central server.

### Permit types and zones

Specific rules for each type of permit holder (resident, professional, city staff, shopkeeper, exhibitor, health worker…) and for each zone. One badge can cover several zones.

### Enforcement

A web app dedicated to officers queries the central database. Nothing to install.

### Self-service

Residents apply for their badge, check their rights and reprint their QR from the authority's portal.

### No reprinting

An extension or a change of zone never requires a new badge.

### Request manager

New badge, renewal, added zone: one integrated workflow, no re-keying, tracked in real time.

## The resident's journey

Available 24/7 from the authority's website, with no account: every step is secured by a code sent by e-mail.

- 1

### They apply

Plate, permit type, requested zones and supporting documents, from the portal or at the counter.

- 2

### They receive their badge

As soon as a decision is made, an e-mail informs them; if approved, the QR badge is attached, ready to print.

- 3

### They display it

The folded badge goes behind the windscreen, with the QR visible from outside.

- 4

### They get a reminder

A reminder e-mail arrives before expiry, at the time chosen by the authority.

- 5

### They extend online

Renewal, added zone and, if applicable, payment: no trip, no reprint.

Self-service portal

## The enforcement officer's journey

Fast on-street checks, with nothing to install and in real time.

- 1

### Open the app

Log in to the enforcement web app, reserved for authorised officers.

- 2

### Scan

The vehicle's QR, or the plate typed in or photographed.

- 3

### The app queries the database

In real time, for the zone the officer is checking.

- 4

### Read the result

The status appears immediately, with the expiry date and the permit type.

- **Valid**Permit in force
- **Expired**Permit ended
- **Not found**Vehicle not registered

## Built-in request management

From receipt to decision, with no re-keying and in line with the GDPR.

- 1

### Receipt

Online requests land in a queue, with a real-time counter.

- 2

### Documents

The officer checks the supporting documents online.

- 3

### Decision

Approval or reasoned refusal, in one click.

- 4

### Automatic sending

The decision goes out by e-mail, with the QR badge if approved.

- 5

### GDPR purge

Supporting documents are deleted as soon as the decision is made, whatever it is.

100% online processing, traced and automated. Supporting documents are never kept.

## Roles and teams

Each staff member has only the rights they need, within teams specific to the authority.

### Administrator

Full configuration: accounts and teams, payment, connectors, custom domain.

### Manager

Runs the service day to day: zones, types, streets, badges, requests, statistics.

### Front-desk officer

At the counter: issuing badges and processing online requests.

### Enforcement officer

In the street: scanning badges and short-stay sessions.

### Resident

No account: self-service portal and short-stay parking, secured by an e-mail code.

### Teams

Municipal police, highways, front desk…: configurable roles and teams.

## A simple architecture

The QR on the windscreen only contains an identifier. The enforcement app queries the QR Blue servers, hosted in France and the European Union, which answer instantly. The back office, the residents' portal and the optional modules all rely on the same database.
