Effective parking enforcement at properties is a necessity for the smooth running of any property operation, tenant satisfaction & retention. No matter the type of property, parking security and parking violations are two of the biggest complaints and hassles for management and residents/tenants alike. Historically, properties with parking run into unauthorized vehicles resulting in frustrated tenants, and moreover, they also have seen higher crime rates in the parking areas that lack adequate enforcement technology & processes, resulting in frustrated tenants/residents, higher operating costs, and lost revenue.

What is The Parking Enforcer App?

The purpose of the Parking Enforcer App by ParqEx is to provide an impressive, all-encompassing, and state-of-the-art parking enforcement and management solution. Builders, developers, property managers/owners, condo and HOA boards, multifamily properties, and parking enforcement agencies can now easily monitor and verify every vehicle entering and exiting all properties. Additionally, enforcement agents can track and issue parking violations in real-time right from one’s handheld device. An added benefit to our simple, solutions-oriented enforcement app is eliminating printed tickets, passes, signs, tags, decals, or QR code readers if the property desires. The Enforcer App has repeatedly proven to be the easiest way to enforce all properties. If you want better security for your property, the Parking Enforcer App is the solution for you.

How it Works!

The Parking Enforcer App grants you access to all information about your lot. You can immediately see which vehicles should be on your lot and what time they are scheduled to be on the property. Here’s how it works:

• Control

You have complete control over who has access to your lot. Some residents may wish to list their available parking spots for rent on ParqEx’s Marketplace. You may even want to list your available guest parking spots on Marketplace along with ParqEx’s GuestParq. Either way, this increases the stream of traffic on your property. With the Enforcer App, you will have ultimate control over the number of parking spaces, the price, and the availability while increasing the visibility of who is coming and going. 

• Digital Options

We can provide digital garage options. Now you no longer have to worry about lost tickets, fobs, clickers, etc. Instead, the Enforcer App provides you with the ability to issue digital parking passes. Through Access+, you can provide guests safe parking without giving printable tickets or passes. 

• Visibility

You have a controlled knowledge of which vehicles are and are not supposed to be on your lot or parking structure. The Enforcer App will provide you with all information about the cars parked on your property. At a glance, you can identify which vehicles belong to residents and their guests and which do not belong at all. With real-time enforcement tools in the palm of your hand, you will be able to issue parking tickets and fines with just a few clicks!

• Secure Cross-Platform Convenience

You can use the app on any platform. The ParqEx Enforcer App is designed to work with a wide range of different platforms. This cross-platform convenience allows you to seamlessly integrate the app across all devices and desktops (i.e., iOS, Android, Windows, & more). Additionally, ParqEx technology is cloud-hosted, which ensures reliability and high performance.

• Paperless Ticketing

You can decide if you want to issue paper tickets or become paperless. Citations and ticketing can now be issued via the app or through paper tickets, all based on preference. It is your choice!

Enforcer App Features

The features of the Enforcer App undoubtedly add to the overall convenience of the tool. Some key features include:

• Multiple Properties

Do you have numerous properties in your portfolio that you wish to enforce? You can use the ParqEx Enforcer App for various properties. The Enforcer App allows you to manage parking enforcement across any number of properties, all with a few taps on the app.  

• Smart Search

You can use the Smart Search tool to save time and effort. Now management and enforcement officers can quickly search, view, and verify all registered vehicles on the Enforcer App. The app can search based on a license plate, make and model, reservation number, or even the spot number. 

• Instant Citations

You can now instantly enforce parking violations. With the Enforcer App, the violation log allows you to implement violations and issue citations within seconds. Post a photo of the offending vehicle and its license plate on the app and send the ticket via email or print a ticket if preferred. 

• Strengthened Management

The management of the property is reinforced with the Enforcer App. With the app, you can now see and manage who has and has not paid their violations. Additionally, you can avoid issuing incorrect violations and even add a list of specified vehicles on the “Do Not Tow” list.

The Convenient Parking Enforcement Solution

Parking Enforcer App Alongside Access+ LPR

ParqEx’s Access+ and License Plate Reading technology (LPR) continues to prove to be one of the most successful forms of parking enforcement. Through LPR technology, the advanced cameras read the sequence of numbers and letters on each vehicle’s license plate and verify who comes into the property. Working hand-in-hand with AI and advanced analytics, LPR technology collects all data, records every car that enters and exits the property, and is an impressive crime deterrent. One of the biggest challenges for enforcement agencies and property owners/managers are unauthorized vehicles in spots. With LPR cameras in place, unauthorized parkers can no longer park their cars in these spots as they will be denied entry to the lot.

Having to continuously monitor and keep track of all the vehicles on the property is undoubtedly a nuisance. Have you ever been mistaken and towed the wrong car and then had to deal with that nightmare? With LPR in place working alongside the Enforcer App, parking enforcement is drastically simplified. Enforcement officers and parking management no longer have to regularly patrol their lots searching for illegally parked vehicles. Illegal vehicles will no longer be admitted into the property! With ParqEx technology in place, enforcement becomes even more practical as each customer’s parking window is monitored. If a parking window is nearing expiration, both the customer and enforcement/parking management will receive a notification. If that window does expire, the Enforcer App provides all the tools necessary to issue a citation instantly.

The Challenge

Many buildings, especially those with parking garages in busy areas, find that they have two key problems with it comes to parking violations.

Problem #1: Unauthorized individuals park in guest spaces. They don’t live or work in the building. They aren’t visiting people there. Unfortunately, that isn’t stopping people from parking in them. It’s hard to tell where those unauthorized visitors are coming from, and it’s even harder to catch them in the act!

Problem #2: Guests are staying far longer than they’re supposed to. They’re authorized users, but their cars just sit there, hour after hour. Maybe a car is left sitting there overnight, or maybe it just lingers there for far longer than it should, based on the number of time guests spend in your building.

Residential parking violations often result in frustrated tenants, residents, and guests. The people who really need to use those parking spaces are angry because they can’t–not to mention the fact that if someone else isn’t following the rules, they don’t understand why they have to! Parking garage violations are particularly problematic because it can be difficult to access those spaces or even to see what’s happening with the space until you’re inside the garage itself. Unfortunately, it can be extremely difficult to track what vehicles are authorized!

The Solution: ParqEx Enforcer

ParqEx Enforcer offers you the chance to enforce your parking space rules and ensure that you’re able to better manage your parking spaces in general. Here’s how it works:

You control who’s able to access the lot. Building residents can choose to let you list their spaces for rent, or they can do it on their own–or they can keep their spaces to themselves! This way, you’ll be able to control the availability of spaces in your parking garage more effectively.

You can offer digital “garage door” opening. No need to provide a physical item, which can leave guests struggling to park if it gets lost. Instead, opt for a digital parking pass that will let them straight into the parking garage–and limit their use according to your specific requirements.

You can see which cars are supposed to be in the lot and which ones aren’t. Know at a glance which cars are associated with which resident–and which ones do not belong to anyone in your building. As a result, you’ll be able to easily hand out parking tickets and fines if needed, all without disturbing your residents.

Work with any platform you like. ParqEx Enforcer is designed to work with a range of other platforms, allowing you to integrate it easily with other platforms and devices.

Use paperless or paper tickets depending on your preference. How do you want to issue citations to guests who have overstayed their welcome? You have the choice of paperless or paper tickets at your convenience.
