Our primary business focus is increasing road safety by ONLY allowing and accepting videos to be submitted by passengers and pedestrians. Our app’s technology automatically tracks the user’s location, time, date, route and other necessary information needed to issue and enforce tickets. Once the user records the violation (a video clip of the violation and the violator's license plate) it is encrypted and sent securely to our servers where it is digitally signed to prevent tampering. Videos are reviewed and the ticket can be issued once approved by local law enforcement. In summary, Government App Solutions is the first application and technology platform of its kind. We are the only provider of such a product and we are committed to reducing the prevalence of distracted driving. Since launch, local governments have asked us to expand our services to include vertical industries such as parking and code enforcement.
