Introducing...
What is Kerb?
Kerb is an app that gives commercial vehicles the
ability to book a Virtual Loading Bay (VLB) on
previously restricted kerb space in the city.
Kerb also extends loading times in areas where
loading is allowed but time limited using a Virtual
Loading Extension (VLE).
Kerb is a real-time dynamic, intelligent
kerbside management solution for cities.
It is ready for market, with global potential.
→ Manages kerb-space in busy inner
cities removing the risk of penalties
for illegal parking
→ Uses kerb-space on routes that
traditionally prohibit loading and
unloading - allow deliveries at difficult
locations
→ Saves money by reducing time and
mileage spent searching for available
space
→ Reduces emissions and highway impact
of HGVs. Encourages more compliance
Benefits of Kerb
→ Enables real time management of
commercial vehicle fleets speeding
up the delivery process
→ Allows retailers and businesses to
schedule their loading and delivery
workload
→ Integrates with Fleet Systems and
Parking Enforcement Systems to
manage effective booking information
