1) QR Code-Enabled Parking Hang Tags: A Smarter Way to Manage Parking

ParqEx modernizes parking hang tags by embedding QR codes directly on each tag, enabling a more dynamic and connected system. Here’s how it works:

• • Custom-Designed Tags: ParqEx provides branded, durable parking hang tags with unique QR codes for each authorized parker.
  • Digital Verification: Enforcement agents can use the ParqEx mobile app to scan the QR code on the tag, instantly verifying its validity and matching it to the registered vehicle.
  • Tag Inventory Management: The platform tracks issued tags, making it easy to manage inventory, deactivate lost or stolen tags, and maintain an up-to-date log of authorized vehicles.

2) Streamlining the Enforcement Workflow

Traditional enforcement methods can lead to disputes, invalid tows, or administrative burdens. ParqEx’s digital tools make enforcement faster, more accurate, and easier for all parties involved.

• • Mobile App for Tag and Vehicle Verification
    • • Enforcement agents use the ParqEx mobile app to scan QR codes on hang tags or manually search for a tag within the platform.
      • The app matches the tag to the registered vehicle, ensuring compliance with parking policies.
  • Mobile LPR (License Plate Recognition) Integration
    • • Even if a vehicle isn’t displaying a hang tag, ParqEx’s mobile LPR allows enforcement agents to scan the license plate and confirm whether a tag is associated with the vehicle.
      • This eliminates invalid tows and ensures vehicles are correctly identified.
  • Tracking Violations by Tag and Vehicle
    • • The platform tracks violations associated with both the parking tag and the vehicle’s license plate.
      • Agents can monitor repeat offenders and automatically escalate actions based on the number of violations (e.g., warnings, fines, or towing).
  • Notifications to All Parties
    • • Real-time email and SMS notifications keep property owners, enforcement teams, and parkers informed of enforcement actions.
      • Notifications include detailed information such as the violation type, time, location, and supporting photos.

• • Scheduled Enforcement Reports: Property managers and enforcement agencies receive detailed, automated reports that include photos of vehicles, violation details, and timestamps.
  • Incident Documentation: All enforcement actions are logged, creating a digital trail for dispute resolution and compliance reviews.

ParqEx offers unparalleled flexibility to accommodate all enforcement workflows, saving time and money while increasing accuracy:

• • Towing Workflow for Tow Companies
    • • Tow truck drivers can verify whether a vehicle is eligible for towing using the ParqEx app.
      • Before towing, drivers must log evidence (photos, location) to ensure compliance with property or local regulations.
  • Booting Workflow
    • • Booting companies can track violations and apply boots to vehicles with unpaid violations or repeated offenses.
      • The platform integrates with QR codes or LPR to identify vehicles and track boot applications.
  • Parking Notice and Sticker Management
    • • Printable Notices: Enforcement agents can print violation notices on Zebra printers, directly from the ParqEx app.
      • Notice Stickers: For higher-impact enforcement, warning or fine notices can be printed as stickers and affixed to the vehicle windshield or window.
