What Duncan Solutions does

Duncan Solutions is a Milwaukee-based, privately held provider of parking management, tolling, and mobility solutions exclusively serving government agencies across the United States. The company operates a unified platform-plus-modules architecture anchored by MōbiHUB, a next-generation Smart Mobility platform that unifies enforcement, processing, payments, customer engagement, and analytics, and is supported by two proprietary core products: AutoPROCESS, a citation processing and permit management platform refined over 35 years, and DRIVE, a proprietary DMV registered owner lookup service providing coverage of all 51 U.S. DMVs and many Canadian provinces via a strategic partnership with Nlets.

Duncan serves more than 200 government clients — including major parking authorities (Philadelphia, Pittsburgh), large municipalities (San Diego, Sacramento, Milwaukee, Houston, Boston, New Orleans), and tolling authorities — processing 6 million citations, 30 million DMV lookups, and 350,000 permits annually while collecting $425 million in revenue on behalf of clients from 10 million motorists. The company's revenue model combines transaction fees on citation processing and collections with subscription/recurring revenue from permit management and the DRIVE DMV data service, structured through multi-year government contracts awarded via RFP and procurement processes.

The company traces its roots to 1936, when Donald F. Duncan introduced the first parking meter, and was reorganized in 2005 through the merger of Duncan Parking Technologies, Citation Management, Enforcement Technology, and Reino Parking Systems, with subsequent acquisitions of Professional Account Management (2005) and Law Enforcement Systems (2008). Duncan Solutions operates as a subsidiary of Business Processing Solutions, LLC, a CX outsourcing firm, and is certified to PCI DSS, SOC 1 Type 2, and SOC 2 Type 2 standards.
