Company History

Number Plate Systems (Pty) Ltd is a pioneering social media technology company dedicated to providing crime-fighting and prevention tools at the community level. Established on 1 June 2014, the project began with the launch of the first BOT for NP Tracker. Since then, we have grown into a registered company, maintaining NP Tracker as a core service while expanding our offerings to include mobile applications for vehicle identification and visitor management.

As the first company to create a national network encompassing popular platforms such as Facebook, Twitter, WhatsApp, WeChat, Signal, and Telegram, we empower users to interact with our apps and bots, accessing vehicle lookout reports from our NP Tracker suspect and suspicious vehicle database. Our motto, "We are no superheroes – BUT they use us to be," reflects our commitment to providing a publicly accessible dataset for suspect and vehicle-of-interest information.

Recognizing the demand for our expertise, we now offer our services to clients seeking to create bots and applications for social media platforms. Our goal is to produce high-quality, flexible, and affordable services, ensuring client satisfaction through world-class applications and solutions.

Expansion and Growth

Since its inception, NP Tracker has experienced significant growth, evolving from a local initiative supporting the Community Policing Forum (CPF) to a nationwide system with extensive coverage. Today, NP Tracker monitors and indexes vehicle lookouts across all SADC (Southern African Development Community) countries, contributing to safer communities regionally.

Our ongoing expansion and dedication to technological innovation have strengthened our database and crime-fighting capabilities. By continuously refining NP Tracker and incorporating data analytics, we enhance its effectiveness in combating crime. We are committed to our mission of making South Africa and the SADC region safer places to live.
