Full Parking and Resident Solution For An Apartment Complex
Property managers and owners: Are you grappling with managing a large apartment complex with numerous parking spaces? Do you find it challenging to monitor the movement of people in and out of your property? Are you concerned about the security implications of unauthorized vehicles? Are these unauthorized parkers causing inconvenience to your residents and guests? Do you need assistance in regulating authorized, guest, and unauthorized parking? If these issues resonate, this case study on ParqEx’s “Full Parking and Resident Solution for an Apartment Complex” is a must-read.
ParqEx’s client, “Modernaire Apartments,” in San Diego, California, offers its residents comfortable apartments to call home close to shopping, dining, work, and recreational destinations. With 400+ units and only 416 parking spaces, you can quickly grasp that Modernaire desperately needed to find a parking solution that provides complete control, total visibility, a streamlined parking management system, an answer for the guest parking dilemma, and an enforcement solution to quickly patrol and ticket all violating vehicles.
The Situation
The property management team at Modernaire Apartments never truly knew who was entering and exiting their properties. Leaving an open door to vehicles that are not authorized on the property continued to pose a security risk to their residents and guests. With unauthorized parkers gaining easy access to the properties, the availability of the 416 parking spaces quickly diminished. Not only were authorized guests struggling to find available parking on the property, but residents also found themselves without parking when coming home. As can be seen, Modernaire desperately needed a way to enforce its parking situation and get a streamlined parking management system in place.
The Solution
ParqEx took a comprehensive approach when designing a property-specific parking solution for Modernaire’s specific parking pain points. It became abundantly clear that Modernaire needed a streamlined, error-free way to monitor, manage, and keep track of all vehicles entering and exiting the property. With that in mind, ParqEx proposed a tech solution incorporating ParqEx’s Access + License Plate Recognition (LPR) technology, GuestParq, the Enforcer app, and our Internal Tenant Management platform.
Modernaire’s property has three different parking lots (191 parking spots, 172 parking spots, 53 parking spots), each with an entrance and exit. Unquestionably, property management and enforcement officers always needed help to monitor everything. ParqEx quickly resolved this issue by installing LPR technology at these lots, which automatically scans all license plates approaching the entrance and exit of the parking lot. With this technology on-site, only approved drivers can park in these lots.
Regarding guest parking, ParqEx also implemented its GuestParq platform, which allows residents and property managers to grant approved access to visitors seeking parking on their property. By reserving guest parking in advance on the ParqEx app, visitors have a seamless arrival experience.
Concerning enforcement, Modernaire can now use ParqEx’s Enforcer app to enforce their property. With the Enforcer app used alongside ParqEx’s LPR technology, Modernaire’s property has reached a new level of security. If an unauthorized vehicle were to manage somehow to make it onto the property, or if a car has been left unattended for an extended period in one of the parking lots, or if a guest has overstayed their allotted parking time, ParqEx’s Enforcer app grants property management and enforcement officers the ability to instantly ticket, tow, or add specific vehicles to a “do not tow” list.
The Result
The overarching result for Modernaire Apartments was the near-elimination of unauthorized parking. Moreover, with LPR and the Enforcer app working in tandem, property management has gained complete oversight and control over property access and parking management.
Additional results of ParqEx’s tech suite solution include eliminating headaches resulting from parking management and saving countless valuable hours that the staff previously used to perform all parking management operations manually. Additionally, ParqEx’s parking management solution provided reliable and seamless access, which provided residents with a smoother, faster, more secure way to come home with the assurance that there would be parking available for them upon returning. Moreover, ParqEx’s tech solution provided Modernaire Apartments property management team with new value-adding amenities for their existing and potential residents.
To put numbers to it, ParqEx’s technology enabled 99.9% entry reliability for about 10k secure entries and counting, with 0 added staff effort.
