Parking History
Largely unchanged since the middle ages, Parking, is the business that time (and technology) forgot. The typical parking business model is based on low paid employees, pass-through of the parking manager’s operating costs to the garage owner and uncertain cash controls. It is clerically intensive with parking patrons paying cash or mailing monthly checks and inefficient clerical procedures manually recording everything on deposit slips and journals.
Companies wishing to validate their customers are forever buying, peeling and sticking validations in the back of parking stubs, all of which had to be checked and accounted for. From the parking patron’s perspective, the business model required them to wait in line behind other vehicles to exit, and stop to waive an access card at a machine to enter. On the way out, executives late for meetings, are often subjected to waiting behind visitors fumbling for exact change or chatting with an attendant.
Owners are besieged with calls from irate parkers about everything from “gate wait” to parking rage from malfunctioning equipment damaging their cars. Emerging parking technologies are fragmented. Some offered systems for transient parking, while others only served monthly operations. The industry has long lacked a comprehensive system for efficiently handling visitor, validated and monthly parking.
This is where our modern technology comes in. AutoPark Hawaii’s advanced LPR system will automatically track license plates entering and exiting, designating anyone who is not either validated by a client, registered for monthly parking, or paid for in transient parking, so they can be easily found and identified, with parking being quickly enforced. Customers are not required to stop and pay at entrances or grab a ticket. There are no tags to put in windows or stubs to put validation stickers on. Everything is handled by our proprietary software and license plate tracking. Customers are in and out without issue and enjoy not having to worry about being over charged or receiving a citation for under paying, as our system handles all the calculations based on the exact time of their visit and posted hourly rates, down to the minute. With the AutoPark solution, we have made parking easy and convenient, bringing the industry into the modern era!
