What PGS does

PGS Colombia SAS (operating as PGS.COL) is a Bogotá-based technology integrator and distributor focused on smart parking and smart city solutions, with stated experience of more than 15 years in the sector and active operations across Colombia and Latin America. The company's offering combines License Plate Recognition (LPR/ANPR) cameras, ultrasonic and camera-based vehicle guidance sensors, automated payment terminals, barrier gates, access control systems, and HikCentral Professional parking analytics software, drawn primarily from Hikvision, Designa, Parkhelp, TKH ParkAssist, and SCHICK. It serves four primary customer segments: residential complexes and condominiums (copropiedades) in Bogotá, commercial centers and shopping malls, municipal and smart city government buyers, and private parking operators.

The technology stack is anchored on Hikvision hardware and HikCentral software, supplemented with DESIGNA automatic payment terminals (CONNECT and CASHLESS models) and multi-vendor guidance sensors. Products are organized into three main solution lines: Smart Parking (LPR-based access control, vehicle guidance, automated revenue collection via the COP $40M Kit Recaudo, and HikCentral licensing with the Parking Analysis Module), Smart Cities (Smart Bus Stop at COP $50M, pedestrian floor traffic lights, speed detection cameras, solar panels, plus a WeCity partnership around Green Parking), and supporting road safety accessories, certified parking tickets for SKIDATA/AMANO/DESIGNA/MEYPAR/HORUS, and replacement parts for payment terminals.

PGS generates revenue through a mix of one-time hardware product sales (prices ranging from COP $50 for tickets to COP $50M for smart bus stops), project-based integrated system solutions, professional services (installation, configuration, maintenance, consulting, and design), and recurring HikCentral software licensing with 3-year included support. The company also offers a technology leasing (arrendamiento tecnológico) option to reframe capex as monthly opex. Go-to-market combines direct enterprise field sales targeting property managers, malls, and municipal governments (via WhatsApp at +57 3053501714 and [email protected], with a stated 2-hour response commitment) and a Shopify-based e-commerce storefront on pgscolombia.com with publicly disclosed COP pricing for individual products. Customer concentration data, revenue, headcount details beyond the 11-50 band, and ownership/management information are not publicly disclosed.
