Importing Belgian fines automatically

Fleetfines recognises the fine layouts of a growing number of Belgian municipalities and GAS processors. See below all supported municipalities whose fines are imported fully automatically.

Not just Dutch CJIB fines — with Fleetfines you process Belgian fines fully automatically too. Every Belgian municipality and every GAS processor uses its own layout for traffic fines. Fleetfines is trained on those layouts and extracts the fine date, expiry date, offence, location, time, licence plate and amount automatically from the PDF — without you having to retype anything.

How Fleetfines imports Belgian fines automatically

Importing a Belgian fine works the same way as for a Dutch fine:

  • Upload the PDF of the fine or send it to your unique Fleetfines email address.
  • Fleetfines recognises the layout of the relevant municipality or GAS processor.
  • All fields are imported automatically and turned into a complete fine.
  • Link the fine to the right driver and send the payment request.

What are GAS fines?

Some Belgian fines are GAS fines. GAS stands for Gemeentelijke Administratieve Sancties (Municipal Administrative Sanctions): fines a municipality issues itself for nuisance and minor offences, separate from the regular criminal law system. Because every municipality or police zone sends GAS fines in its own format, automatic layout recognition is especially valuable here. Fleetfines supports a range of GAS fine layouts.
