Since 1926 we’ve been able to use electronic garage door openers to make our lives easier and by the mid-1950s the wireless remote became available. These inventions progressed through the years to offer better security and ease-of-use and are now progressing to the next level with cloud based mobile technology. Let’s explore how cloud based mobile technology is creating a better way to manage parking garage access with ParqEx Access+.
Parking Accessibility
Parking garage access in this context means garages and any parking area with restricted access. This access is restricted normally by transponders using remote transmitters and/or key pad codes at the entrances.
Residential garages, commercial parking, residential community parking, and any other parking areas guarded by a gate or garage door are in need of technological tools to manage accessibility.
Upgraded Accessibility
With ParqEx Access+, the electric garage door openers are still used, yet the accessing agent is now the smart phone. Cloud computing through mobile technology has enhanced and upgraded garage accessibility through an app solution.
Specifically, through this mobile app, approved people can gain access in and out of a parking garage with a click of a button. This button on their smartphone mobile app interacts with a blackbox in the garage, which we set-up for you.
Benefits of ParqEx Access+
Getting rid of the old transponders, key codes, and remote controls, makes accessing parking garages easier, more secure, and less expensive. ParqEx Access+ is more affordable than transponders with their constant upkeep, which is one main benefit.
With ParqEx Access+ owners can see exactly who’s accessing the garage and when and have complete control over who’s given access through the app. The app gives managers full reports of all access activity from a friendly dashboard interface. And this dashboard is where owners can manage who has access or not.
The one click access through the app on residents and owners’ smartphones gives them an easy way to get in and out of the parking garage day-to-day. By using smartphones for access, key codes won’t have to be remembered and people won’t have to worry about losing their remote.
Security is enhanced when smartphones are the accessing agent, because key codes can be given to unauthorized people. And remotes use frequencies, which can be hacked to give unauthorized people access.
The last benefit we’ll highlight is that ParqEx Access+ gives owners of living spaces a great marketing point for residents. Residents will like the ease of access made available and the upgraded security offered. And owners upgrading from transponders will save money, which they’ll be able to pass onto residents in different ways.
Possibilities with ParqEx Access+
This is a simple (yet profound) upgrade solution for parking garage access, but let’s consider the other possibilities it offers people using ParqEx to make money with their parking spots.
ParqEx is an innovative mobile technology that allows people with parking spots to make money with their parking spots. ParqEx extends its’ service now to 7 major metropolitan cities in the U.S. including Chicago where the company is based.
Let’s say for instance a home owner in a Chicago neighborhood near many attractions had a large residential lot. This person decides to build on to their 2 car garage to make it a 6 car garage. They create an account with ParqEx and start to offer their 6 parking spaces with the prices and rules they desire. Soon enough people are renting their spaces and this person begins booking these 6 spaces nearly continually all year-long.
The beauty of ParqEx Access+ is the owner of the spaces can remotely manage who has access to the spaces. So, through the app the owner simply changes who has access according to who’s currently renting the spaces. This means the former customers can’t simply slip back in and use the space for free and it ensures no theft will occur. The garages are all self-contained and separated from each other inside the 6 car garage building.
This how ParqEx Access+ can create opportunities along with their broker service. Say for instance, the owner charged $30 for each space and that each space was filled 300 days of the year. This would mean 6 x $30 = $180 x 300 days = $54,000/year. Not a bad income, right? This would pay for the modification and expansion of the garage and then create a nice income. Oh, and solve some parking problems in the city as well.
Summary
Cloud computing through mobile technology has brought a needed upgrade to parking garage accessibility. Residents with one garage or many will benefit from using this technology, as will owners of residential living spaces with parking garage access. ParqEx Access+ makes parking garage access simple with: easy-to-use dashboard managing controls, affordability, ease of access, better security, easy set-up, and all of this through a person’s smartphone.
