    Convenience for your visitors begins at home

    We all know, perfect parking management does not begin at the car park’s entry gate, but with service for your customers at home. Even if the visitors are already on their way to their destination, planning, navigation, and online reservation of the parking slot can be easily made via their smartphone on the go. The ability to pre-book long-term parking permits or further services that can be used at the car park, such as EV-charging, offers even more convenience to visitors at the car park.

    Smooth entry – smooth parking

    Secure, intelligent access systems come equipped with future-oriented features, like license plate recognition and can even be operated ‘barrierless style’ without any barrier at all. This way, they ensure maximum convenience for your guests. Show them the best parking space and guide them through the car park on-line before they even arrive. Perfect monitoring and control of ongoing operations let you ensure optimal occupancy of your property. This ensures smooth and easy central control, even across multiple sites. As a result, your visitors enjoy a perfect parking experience while you save on staff resources.

    Convenient payment for a perfect experience

    Paying for parking and other services couldn’t be easier for your visitors, using either their one-for-all ticket or their license plate number as an identifier. And with all common payment methods supported at your parking facility, they can pay directly at the payment machine or via their smartphone without the need to install an additional app. Registered users or long-term parkers have the additional choice of paying later from the comfort of their home. With validations from surrounding businesses credited to the parking fee, you’ll ensure a lasting positive impression.

    Easy management of all your car parks

    Perfectly manage each individual car park and building sector remotely from one central point of control.

    Why should operators avoid a parking system that only solves today’s problem?

    Operators should avoid parking systems that solve today’s access and payment needs but become limitations tomorrow.
