The operating system for modern toll roads
One modular platform for transaction processing, billing, violations recovery, device management, monitoring, and analytics. Deploy on your infrastructure or in the cloud — with an audit-ready ledger at its core.
Built for toll authorities, concessionaires, and mobility operators · Cloud or on-premises · Standards-aligned security.
Toll operations have outgrown disconnected tools
Most operators run their business across a patchwork of systems: one tool captures transactions, another handles billing, a spreadsheet tracks violations, and device health lives in yet another console. The result is reconciliation gaps, slow recovery, blind spots in the field, and audits that take weeks instead of minutes.
Revenue leakage
Transactions that fail, stall, or never get billed quietly erode revenue. Without end-to-end lineage, finding the gap is guesswork.
Fragmented operations
Field devices, transactions, and billing live in separate silos. Operators can't see the whole picture in real time.
Audit & compliance burden
Proving where every transaction went — and that it wasn't altered — is painful when data lives in mutable, disconnected databases.
One platform. Six modules. Adopt what you need.
Tessera is a single, coherent platform composed of independently deployable modules. Run the full suite for a complete toll operation, or start with one — billing-only, monitoring-only, analytics-only — and grow from there. Modules share one identity layer, one data foundation, and one operations portal, so adding a module never means bolting on another silo.
- 1Lane eventVehicle detected at the lane
- 2ProcessingTransaction captured & processed
- 3RatingToll calculated and rated
- 4BillingInvoiced and reconciled
- 5RecoveryViolations escalated & recovered
Every step is monitored in real time and recorded in an immutable ledger.
Each module is independently deployable, scalable, and upgradeable. Iterate on one without re-certifying the rest.
A unified operations portal — sign in once, move across every module seamlessly.
A single, governed data layer with strict read/write boundaries between modules.
Turn modules on as you need them; the portal automatically reflects what's deployed.
Six modules, one coherent platform
Module 01
Operations Back Office
Real-time supervision of every transaction, from lane event to rated toll.
- Live transaction dashboard with complete state-by-state lineage.
- Guided image & exception review for uncertain reads, fully audited.
- No-code pricing rules — create, version, and deploy without engineering.

Module 01
Operations Back Office
Real-time supervision of every transaction, from lane event to rated toll.
- Live transaction dashboard with complete state-by-state lineage.
- Guided image & exception review for uncertain reads, fully audited.
- No-code pricing rules — create, version, and deploy without engineering.
- Reprocessing that retries failures without ever overwriting originals.
- Pipeline health: see ingestion latency and bottlenecks before they cost revenue.
Module 02
Commercial Back Office
Turn transactions into revenue — invoicing, violations, and collections in one workflow.
- Configurable, no-code invoicing — resend, void, or credit with a click.
- Automated violations lifecycle from first notice through collections.
- Integrated owner lookups and a structured dispute/incident workflow.
- Multi-channel notifications (email, SMS, portal) with delivery tracking.
- Immutable, reversal-aware ledger keeps every adjustment traceable.
Module 03
Traffic & Device Management
Command and monitor every lane and device from a single live map.
- Interactive lane map: every plaza and lane, color-coded by status.
- Real-time telemetry for cameras, sensors, readers, boards, and barriers.
- Remote commands — restart a device, open a barrier, post a message, calibrate.
- Maintenance log across preventive work, repairs, and firmware.
- Alert acknowledgment and dispatch without leaving the map.
Module 04
Analytics & Reporting
Self-service business intelligence for controllers, auditors, and management.
- Curated dashboards for reconciliation, traffic, revenue, and maintenance.
- A reconciliation suite that ties transactions, settlement, and revenue together.
- Row-level security enforced at query time.
- Scheduled and ad-hoc reporting.
- Exports to CSV, Excel, and API for downstream systems.
Module 05
Real-Time Operations Monitoring
A 24/7 control room for device health, transaction flow, and SLAs.
- Operational dashboards: device health, flow, interfaces, availability.
- Severity-ranked live alerts that deep-link to the relevant dashboard.
- SLA tracking measured against your service commitments.
- Incident workflow — acknowledge, assign, and track with per-incident timers.
- Interface health: confirm every external exchange is up and current.
Module 06
Digital Twin & Simulation
Test, demo, and train against realistic traffic — without touching production.
- Lane event generator: simulate vehicle passes at configurable rates.
- Flow visualization across the lane map in real time.
- End-to-end sandbox for complete external exchanges, no dependencies.
- Reproducible, seeded scenarios and replayable recordings.
Built for the realities of running a toll road
Audit-ready by design
At the core is an append-only, immutable transaction ledger. Records are never overwritten — reprocessing creates new, linked entries — and cryptographic integrity checks prove the data hasn't been altered. Audits that took weeks become straightforward.
No vendor lock-in
The exact same application runs on your infrastructure or in the cloud. Choose full on-premises data residency or a managed cloud deployment — and switch substrates without re-architecting. Hybrid is supported too.
Modular, not monolithic
Adopt one module or all six. Each deploys, scales, and upgrades independently, so you can modernize incrementally and release improvements without re-certifying the whole platform.
Real time, end to end
Sub-second device status, live transaction flow, and continuous SLA tracking give your operations team a single source of truth for what's happening right now.
Secure from the ground up
A Zero Trust architecture segments every part of the system, encrypts data in transit and at rest, and maps to recognized security and privacy standards. Sensitive data is classified and protected by tier.
Designed for tolling
Not a generic platform bent to fit. Every workflow — transaction lineage, violations escalation, reconciliation, lane device control — reflects how toll operations actually run.
Run it your way — securely
The same platform, the same modules, the same experience — wherever you run it. Infrastructure is the only thing that changes; your application, identity, and data model stay identical.
On-premises
Runs on your existing infrastructure with a hardened Kubernetes foundation, a highly available database with point-in-time recovery, replicated storage, and built-in backup. Full data residency; air-gap viable; no new licensing.
Cloud (managed)
A managed Kubernetes and database deployment for faster time-to-market, OpEx-friendly procurement, and geo-redundant disaster recovery.
Identity & access
- Single sign-on across every module with built-in multi-factor authentication.
- Bring your own identity provider, or use the included portable identity layer.
- Application-level segregation of duties — authors can't deploy their own rules; reviewers can't approve their own work.
Security & compliance
- Zero Trust architecture with network segmentation between every trust zone.
- TLS encryption in transit; encryption at rest for all sensitive data.
- Tiered data classification with stricter controls and audit logging.
- Append-only, tamper-evident audit log accessible to your auditors directly.
- Aligned with recognized standards — NIST frameworks, PCI-DSS, and data privacy.
Connected to the ecosystem you already rely on
Tessera exchanges data cleanly with the external systems toll operations depend on — over secure, standards-based interfaces with built-in idempotency, so nothing is double-counted or lost.
