Many organizations utilize permits and monthly parking contracts for their parking operations. Parking permits and the monthly parking contracts are the most sustainable form of recurring revenue for the parking operators. Not only do they give operators better visibility into their future revenue streams, but they also provide an opportunity to build a personalized relationship with their customers. Unlike a transient parker, a permit parker shares their identity with the operator through a contractual relationship\. By providing preferred services to delight these valuable customers, operators can ensure long term loyalty.
From colleges and universities offering parking to their students, faculty, and staff; to condominium complexes offering parking to their residents; or even offices, businesses and municipalities offering parking to their employees; current paper-based permit systems first verify a parker’s identity and eligibility manually, then issue their permit. They may also issue stickers, decals, RFID tags, hangtags, or proximity cards, etc., to help assist with parking enforcement. The entire process is manual and very cumbersome. It is also very slow and error prone, as the permit information must be transmitted across various systems including into the PARCS systems, often manually.
The ParkEngage Touchless Parking Permit solution is a complete solution for any organization’s permit parking and monthly contract parking needs. It provides an online, self-service portal for parkers to manage their permits, and eliminates the need for paper permits, stickers, decals, RFID tags, hangtags, or proximity cards. From the parker’s identity and eligibility verification, signing of the contract terms and conditions, communicating permit information across the systems within the organization, including into the PARCS system, the entire process is automated and works seamlessly. This enables your parking operations go completely paperless, reducing costs and wastes.
This service works without a need for the parker to download any app on their phone. Parking enforcement is done using proprietary ALPR technology. It not only provides a more efficient system for tracking customers and their activities, but it is also used to help parking staff validate customers once they are inside.
Parking technology continues to evolve, creating many opportunities to incorporate a variety of components into one solution. Not only will this help to create a more pleasant and convenient parking experience for customers, but it also streamlines parking management and operations through better allocation of staff, resources, and finances.
