Sice has been awarded a nationwide tolling contract in New Zealand, beginning in 2024.

Sice NZ is to replace Waka Kotahi New Zealand Transport Agency´s current tolling back-office set-up, including systems for toll operation, automatic vehicle identification and billing invoices.

The company says it will be delivered under a Software as a Service (SaaS) operational model, leveraging its recent experience from the TfNSW back-office system project in Sydney.

The solution will be in place for an initial period of five years with the option to extend it for up to 14 years.

Its partnership with Waka Kotahi started in 2012 with the Waterview Tunnel project and Sice has been active in the region, delivering projects in Australia such as the tolling back-office system for the EastLink toll road in Melbourne and the Sydney back-office system.
