REKR News & Events

Rekor Systems announced a strategic consolidation of its worldwide engineering operations aimed at increasing operational efficiency and aligning the Company's cost structure with current revenue levels. As part of this initiative, Rekor will move engineering work from Israel to its U.S.-based teams, consolidating all key product development and technology functions in the United States. This move supports the Company's ongoing efforts to streamline operations and focus resources on initiatives that have the most immediate impact on revenue, customer delivery, platform performance, and scalable growth. Rekor Chief Financial Officer Joe Nalepa stated, "After closely examining our global footprint, we have taken this step to ensure that we are operating in line with current revenue while maintaining the ability to execute our strategic priorities. Consolidating our engineering operations in the United States improves coordination across our product and delivery teams and is a significant step toward lowering our annual operating expenses. We expect this and other actions to reduce our burn rate by approximately $7.5 million on an annualized basis."

"Our innovative and groundbreaking approach offers a transformative procedure for ALPR use," said Chris Kadoch, Chief Science Officer at Rekor Systems. "Public safety agencies and elected officials need to be able to ensure that they can reliably and efficiently enforce safeguards and limits on how and when personal data is accessed. Our approach provides built-in privacy protection while preserving the investigative capabilities agencies rely on."
