AI Traffic Intelligence from CCTV

Existing CCTV cameras turned into a live traffic-analytics system — AI counts every passing vehicle and classifies its type (cars, vans, buses, trucks, bikes) in real time, feeding dashboards for capacity planning, revenue reconciliation, and operations. No new hardware; the intelligence is in the software.

Why “AriseStack”

Three layers. One arrow. That arrow is you.

Foundation

Servers, networks, security, backups — infrastructure that stays up so everything above it can.

Software

The applications and platforms your team and your customers touch every day — built to fit how you actually work.

Intelligence

AI woven through the stack — vision, recognition, automation, and insight that turn data into decisions.

The arrow starts inside the stack and breaks above the top — your growth, climbing on the foundation we forge.

Who we are

Built by an engineer who runs what he ships.

AriseStack was founded and is led by Saleem Akhtar, our Founder & CEO — a technology leader with 18+ years in IT, serving as Head of IT at one of Pakistan's leading enterprises — where he has spent more than a decade running the always-on IT backbone of mission-critical operations: networks, security, and enterprise software. Mission-critical systems don't get maintenance windows; the systems we build reflect that.

His career began in the field, building networks hands-on — and that background shapes everything AriseStack delivers: software that ships with backups, monitoring, security hardening, and a rehearsed recovery plan — not just a handover ZIP file. We stay after launch, operating and improving what we build.
