Introducing ParqEx’s New Streamlined Parking Waiting List Feature
Like anything else, managing parking can be stressful. Nowadays, more than ever, the intimidating task of parking management seems even more daunting, with an almost constantly exceeding demand compared to supply and availability. No matter the type of parking: short-term, long-term, monthly, guest, residential, commercial, employee, event parking, etc., ensuring that each space is optimally used is crucial in meeting demand and earning as much parking revenue as possible. So, we are introducing ParqEx’s new streamlined waiting list feature! This innovative new feature is perfect for all kinds of parking and allows property owners and managers to stay organized and manage their parking assets optimally! Read this quick blog to learn more about ParqEx’s new parking waiting list feature.
What is ParqEx’s Waiting List Feature?
Like all other ParqEx features, ParqEx’s waiting list is built to further streamline and facilitate parking management, specifically parking requests. Whenever a user requests or shows interest in a parking spot that is currently unavailable, their request is automatically populated into a waiting list portion of the ParqEx Admin Dashboard. This drop-down menu provides property management and ownership with all the necessary information regarding this user and their request and helps simplify all follow-ups on this request.
How Does the Waiting List Feature Work?
1. Automatic Population: When a user requests a spot that is currently unavailable, the requests are automatically populated into the parking waiting list segment of the Admin Dashboard. If property management or staff receive a phone call, email, or verbal request to be added to this waiting list, they can also manually add people to the list within the dashboard.
2. Admin Dashboard: The Admin Dashboard is the hub and brain of the operation for ParqEx clients, continuously facilitating and streamlining all parking management needs. As ParqEx grows and expands, this dashboard will include new drop-down menus, including the newest: the waiting list menu. The waiting list is easily accessible through the dashboard, which helps management and ownership see a clear overview of all pending parking requests and streamlines the necessary follow-up process.
3. Communication: When the requested parking spot becomes available, property owners and managers can quickly contact individuals and take advantage of automation in which interested parties on the waiting list are automatically notified via text, email, or messages within the ParqEx mobile parking app. With communication processes in place, the waiting list feature helps guarantee that when a spot becomes available, the next person in line can be quickly notified and offered the spot if they are still interested.
Advantages of the Waiting List Feature
1. Optimal Spot Utilization: ParqEx’s waiting list feature empowers property managers and owners to take control of their parking assets. By monitoring all parking requests, they can proactively ensure that no parking spot goes unused and that the next person on the waiting list quickly books a reservation. This feature gives property managers and owners more control and reduces the need to sit back and hope that transient renters will find a parking spot organically.
2. Enhanced Communication: The waiting list feature ensures that interested users are not forgotten. ParqEx’s dashboard grants management and ownership the ability to immediately and automatically send notifications from the dashboard through the ParqEx app or via text and email, which means that parking conversions happen more rapidly and that all interested parties remain in the loop.
3. Higher Return on Parking Assets: Unused parking assets are a waste! By efficiently managing parking spots and quickly communicating with a waiting list of interested users, parking vacancy rates can be reduced, and a higher return on parking assets can be assured.
That’s a Wrap!
Although very straightforward, ParqEx’s waiting list feature is the first of its kind. This feature helps manage all parking and streamlines the process of handling all parking requests, speeds up the communication between ownership/management and potential customers, and overachieves when it comes to ensuring all parking spaces are being used optimally. So whether you’re managing a residential parking facility with hundreds of parking spaces, have a parking facility that operates mainly around transient short-term and long-term rentals, or have employees constantly requesting to be added to that exclusive list of the select few that get employee parking right by the property, this waiting list feature is designed for you! Do not wait around; take parking management by its horns with ParqEx!
