OUR SOLUTION

The Kerb^® platform is a dynamic, digital booking platform enabling users the surety of having a pre-booked space prior to arrival at the kerbside to deliver and unload goods.

Kerb^® manages existing loading bays and also at our patented Virtual Loading Bays (VLBs), which allow bookings at certain times in digitally created, pre-approved locations for areas where parking and loading may be traditionally prohibited.

We’re proud to have introduced London’s first kerbside management scheme. This practical solution will help ensure smoother operations for delivery drivers and shoppers while supporting local businesses

– Cllr James McAsh, Cabinet member for the Climate Emergency, Clean Air and Streets for the London Borough of Southwark

Virtual Loading Bays are the solution to the perennial problem of finding suitable loading and unloading space in the urban space, as well as solving the congestion problems with freight vehicles looking for space from which to make deliveries and collections.

– Chris Sturman, Director at Craymere Consulting Limited

There’s no driving around looking for a space in a busy central London location, like Covent Garden or Victoria, where we’ve got the first two trials. This gives the distribution companies the ability to pre-plan where they are going to park, so they’ve got a defined time to deliver the goods. And they can do it quickly, efficiently and without any fuss or delays.

– Cllr Paul Dimoldenberg, Cabinet Member for City Management and Air Quality for Westminster City Council
