No doubt you’re tired of having no management over your parking garage security, especially if you’re losing tenants as a result. Crime statistics continue to show parking lots as one of the worst places for incidents to happen.

What can you do to make your garage security better? Our ParqEx Access+ app amps up security in three specific ways.

1. Control Your Garage Door With a Smartphone

One of the standout features of Access+ is the ability to control your apartment’s garage door through a smartphone to avoid delays and wait times on parking attendants. If you own an apartment building, your tenants likely gripe to you about wanting in and waiting too long for a doorman to open the gates.

It’s already a financial drain having to hire a doorman, especially when they sometimes go through protracted processes just to allow regular residents inside.

While being circumspect on security is always good, you don’t want residents having to wait to enter your parking garage if they’re in a hurry. In the age of wireless technology, this isn’t really necessary anymore.

Access+ controls the opening of your parking garage through any smartphone. Thanks to added security measures in our app, all residents will be instantly recognized and be able to open the parking garage with their mobile devices.

Put yourself in the shoes of your tenants and realize even you wouldn’t want to wait more than fifteen minutes to park your car and enter your apartment. Letting them control parking will keep you from having fast tenant turnover.

2. You’ll Also Know Who’s Entering and Exiting Your Garage

The great thing about parking security in a smartphone is it means universal access to those who have permission. It means you’ll also have access to Access+ and monitor who’s coming and going in the garage.

Even if you trust your residents, it’s always a good idea to have the ability to monitor how they use Access+. No tenant is perfect all the time. Being able to ensure they’re not abusing the system without extra work involved is a positive thing.

Better yet, you’re in control of who ultimately accesses parking. If you happen to find out someone unauthorized is using the system, you can take quick action before there’s a security breach.

Keeping your apartment building safe like this will give peace of mind to other tenants who may worry about who’s coming and going. Of course, creating this level of trust means tenants who will stay with you for years.

3. Full Reports of Who’s Accessing the Garage

Metrics in apps like ours are very important. The more you know what’s going on, the more you can change policies quickly to avoid any security incidents.

While real-time security is possible through Access+, having immediate analytics available will help you look at the bigger picture of who’s accessing the parking structure.

Easy-to-use dashboards are the secret to why so many property managers like you are beginning to look to us as a leader. Seeing the activity of all your tenants in one place will help understand their schedules so you’ll know who’s coming and going during the day or night. The latter is especially important as you sleep (so you can sleep better).

Contact us at ParqEx to learn more about our overall platform and the Access+ app. We’ll show you how you can use our digital garage door opener at a low cost so you won’t overspend just to keep your building safe.

Still, it is nice to have help once in awhile. Luckily, parents now have access to a number of amazing services and products out there which help navigate the ins and outs of putting out a kind and upstanding member of society. Some of the best of these services can be found within the sharing economy circle.

Want to learn more about how the sharing economy can make your life as a parent a bit less stressful? Read on to learn about our favorite parent-friendly businesses that are a part of the growing sharing economy.

1.) Ride Sharing

Bringing a kid along on public transportation is not impossible, but it isn’t always easy either. This becomes even more true when you find yourself lugging two or three kids along.

This is where ride-sharing services can step in to help. Services such as Uber and Lyft help you get where you need to go without the need for riding a bus or train. This can be lifesaver for new parents or those caring for more than one child at a time. Best of all, Uber offers an option for a pre-installed car seat in some cities, making the whole process an absolute breeze.

2.) Book parking in advance – and closer to your destination

Speaking of getting around town with kids, sometimes it isn’t the transportation that’s the problem, but rather the parking. If you are a person who prefers to drive their own vehicle, but often has trouble finding parking spots that are close enough for young children to walk to and from, you may find parking sharing services such as ParqEx helpful.

ParqEx gives customers the opportunity to rent parking spots from locals, making it easy to find a convenient place to park, no matter where you are headed. You can find parking or list parking in seconds using the ParqEx app or website – and save time, energy and money.

3.) Baby Gear Borrowing

Okay, so obviously you want to own your own stroller and highchair. However, if there is a particular big item you want to try before you buy, or if you want to rent a stroller once you arrive at a vacation destination, peer-to-peer baby gear rental is an amazing resource. The new company goBaby provides an easy way to rent baby gear from individuals for a reasonable price, making it perfect for all parents.

4.) Make Use of Old

Very rarely do babies and toddlers wear out their clothing before outgrowing it, and honestly, older kids don’t often get full use out of their tiny wardrobes. Therefore, it just makes sense to sell those lightly used clothes and buy some bigger, almost-new items in exchange. Luckily, companies such as thredUp make this possible and as simple as can be.

5.) To-Do List Helpers

Let’s face it, there is no way any parent could ever reach the end of their to-do list. From household chores to expectations from the kid’s school, there are just too many things to keep up with.

That said, the sharing economy can help a busy mom or dad check off a few extra items. Businesses such as TaskRabbit offer personal assistant services, making them accessible to the average joe. This could be a game changer for those parents who feel they are drowning in errands and chores.

6.) Sitter Trade-Off

Occasionally, you just need a few minutes to get some work done or eat in peace, and SittingAround gives you just that. In return, you simply offer other parents the same little bit of sanity. Babysitter co-ops like these are a growing trend that we think makes perfect sense.

7.) Are you a parent to a dog, too? 

Sometimes parents have so much on their plates that walking the dog becomes a huge hassle. Wag! makes dog ownership easier by connecting dog owners with dog lovers in their community. With this sharing economy app, dog owners can hire dog lovers on-demand for dog walking, dog sitting, or dog boarding services 7-days a week. It’s like Uber for dog-walkers!

8.) Have a “Schlepper” Help You Move

Need to move a couch but need to go to your kid’s soccer game instead? Schlep is an on-demand moving service that allows customers to book a “schlepper” to help you move things from point A to point B. Simply book a moving date and time, tell the schlepper where the item(s) is and where it’s going and allow the schleppers to save you time.

Want to learn more about how you can make good use of the sharing economy as a parent? We would love to hear from you! Please contact us today.

This isn’t to say that all hardware, paper, and analog systems will be completely eliminated, rather, they’ll be reduced and minimized. SaaS, PaaS, and emerging subscription software are allowing SMBs to streamline, expand, and improve the quality of their work and production – this is hard to ignore.

The sharing economy develops and uses these innovative cloud and mobile computing tools, as a way to solve complex logistical issues and add incentive for entrepreneurs. ParqEx’s mobile app solution is a good example of how powerful these ideas can become.

Another example is an IoT parking solution CloudParc, which utilizes surveillance cameras in cities to detect off-street parking vacancies. This would eliminate parking meters, working through API communications between IoT technologies to reach users through a mobile app.

Denver is now partnering with Park Mobile and Parkifi sensors to create an app that can detect available parking spots in the city-owned surface lots;  both smart meters and surface lots in Denver can then be paid for with a credit card through the mobile app.

Reducing Parking Woes in Cities by Creating Incentive

The IoT is always involved when speaking about smart anything, and almost all technology is smart at this point. Smart parking garages are using monitoring devices to detect vacant spaces, then automatically sharing the data to their own systems and any specified partners.

For instance, the parking garage business may want to automate real-time updates of vacancies to the city’s tourist guide mobile app, or event centers’ apps might want their customers to have access to available spaces during games from ParqEx, etc.

Smart cars, traffic lights, and other IoT devices and systems, are all using the power of cloud and mobile computing to develop and package their services, which then work to solve complex parking woes by creating incentive for entrepreneurship.

Using the ParqEx mobile app for free, drivers can find parking spots in the area and for the time desired, then facilitate the communications and transactions from the secure and easy to use dashboard interface on our mobile app – the desktop version is designed for streamlined management as well.

The incentive is easy to understand, because renting out a vacant parking space through ParqEx is easy and automated forthe most part. Owners of well-located parking spaces now have a method to make hundreds (if not thousands) every month with their one space. Times this by having 5 or 10 spaces, and one can see the opportunity and incentive.

So, what happens is, ParqEx facilitates the connection and transaction for end users for a small percentage (20%). Space owners keep 80% of the parking fee, and users can use the app for free to find and rent parking spaces all across the country.

When thousands of parking spaces open up in a city, traffic congestion is sure to be alleviated and reduced. As cities get smarter and sharing economy services become more visible, parking woes in cities will be significantly reduced.

The part that makes this doubly beneficial is that during the process of logistical parking and traffic improvements, entrepreneurs will be: making money, developing new services and products, and investing further into the economy.

Summary

The sharing economy is using technology in ways that make sense for users. The advantages and opportunities that innovative cloud and mobile technologies offer, are promising to solve parking woes and boost the local economy at the same time. Before, solving parking woes would have meant building more parking spaces, which means cities and/or businesses had to spend money, therefore making tax payers and consumers pay for it.

With ParqEx, the city and business leaders don’t have to build extra parking spaces at their own expense, rather they can work together with sharing economy companies to increase the supply of rent-able parking spaces in the city. Technology is helping increase the utilization of spaces and opening up new ones from private owners.

It’s hard to imagine large cities being nearly free of traffic congestion, yet this very well may be achieved in the soon future. Mass transit, smart cars, remote workers, smart parking, smart carpooling, smart traffic lights, and more IoT technologies are working toward achieving this ideal goal. Reducing parking woes by creating incentive is how ParqEx is helping. If interested in learning more please contact us today.

Once you decide which of the events listed below you want to attend this weekend, download the ParqEx App on the App Store or Google Play for Android and simply plug in the address of or near the event you’ll be going to. From there, you’ll see all of our parking listings close to the event that you’ll be able to rent for the entire day. It’s easy, convenient, and affordable.

Now that you’re confident with your parking situation (“confident” and “parking” used to be an oxymoron, but not anymore) here’s a list of five events you should check out in Chicago this week:

1.) Rocktober Beer Fest 

Where? West Loop, Randolph and Ogden, 1101 W. Adams St.

When? October 7-9, Friday, 5-11 pm; Saturday, 12 Noon-11 pm; Sunday, 12 Noon-10 pm

I mean, the name alone should make you want to go. There will be beer. There will be rock. There will be brats. What else do you need to know? The Rocktober Beer Fest will play on the traditional theme of an authentic German Oktoberfest. Local bands will be heard, beers will be consumed, brats will be eaten, and I will most certainly be there.

West Loop parking used to be tough; not so much anymore. Reserve a parking spot for the Rocktober Beer Fest now using ParqEx. You shouldn’t spend your weekends worrying about parking, and you won’t anymore.

2.) Chicago Cubs Playoffs 

It’s that time of year again: playoff time. Watch your Chicago Cubs Friday and Saturday at historic Wrigley Field as they face off in games 1 and 2 of the NLDS against the winner of the Giants/Mets wild card game. Yes, ticket prices are steep, so if going to a game this weekend is not in your budget, head to Wrigleyville and experience the hype from the bars. The city is excited for good reason and being in Wrigleyville during Cubs playoff games is a blast. Make sure you wear your comfortable shoes; seating inside the bars will be almost certainly hard to come by!

As you probably already know, parking in Wrigleyville is difficult, but we’re here to make it easier for you. Our private parking platform gives you access to parking spots you never had access to before. Check out our parking inventory by searching “Wrigley Field” on the ParqEx platform and reserve your spot. Don’t let parking get in the way of your Cubs game day experience.

3.) Bank of America Chicago Marathon 

When? Sunday, Oct. 9, 8:00 am

Where? Grant Park

45,000 runners will take center stage this weekend at the annual Chicago Marathon. If you’re one of them, congrats and good luck! If you’re not running, you can still be a part of the fun (because running 26.2 miles is obviously fun…). Don’t hit the snooze button this Sunday morning; head to Grant Park early and watch some of the best runners in the world compete. Have a friend running? Grab a poster, some markers, and your best cheering voice and will them to the finish line.

 4.) Alessia Cara Concert 

When? Friday, October 7, 8:00 pm

Where? Chicago Theatre

There’s a new breed of pop star seizing hold of the world’s airwaves and online—more accurately, a conscious-pop star who’s set to subversively top charts and sway hearts and minds. This enigma embodied is 18-year-old  Alessia Cara, who’s riding the refrains of her ironic anthem, “Here.” Premiered by The Fader, “Here” garnered over 500,000 total streams in it’s first week, resounding praise for its freshness and insight. Check her out this Friday night at the Chicago Theatre. Information courtesy of alessiacara.com

5.) Rosehill Cemetery Crypt 5K Run & Walk

Where? 5800 N. Ravenswood Ave.

When? Saturday, Oct. 8, 7:00 pm

Check out fall’s most ‘spirited’ event! It’s the 5th annual 5K on the grounds of the north side’s historic Rosehill Cemetery. Run or walk on the sprawling 350-acre Victorian-era cemetery that opened in 1864. It’s by far the largest cemetery in the City of Chicago (and second largest in Illinois).

Monuments! Mausoleums! Scenic paths! And then there’s the eternal spirits who reside in Rosehill. Among them: more than 10 Chicago mayors, Oscar Mayer, John G. Shedd, Cubs’ announcer Jack Brickhouse, legendary adman Leo Burnett, Sears founder Julius Rosenwald and scores of Civil War vets are just a few of the souls who call Rosehill home.

In addition, there will also be a post run/walk party. Information courtesy of Chicago Events.

Let me summarize an article written by Matt Elliot before you head over to read it directly from him. Basically, the Toronto Parking Authority (TPA) is a public agency. They strive to help the parking situation across Toronto.

In 2016, the TPA plans on spending over $340 million on parking expansion. Like I said, the TPA is a public agency. This large sum of money could be directed elsewhere, but instead it’s being used to fund huge parking garages and parking lots – essentially, patches of land for cars to sit in.

Click here to read Matt Elliot’s article on the parking problem in Toronto.

This is just another article that validates the ParqEx business model. You may be asking yourself: why are you posting an article written in Toronto about the Toronto parking situation? Well, the answer is simple. Every city in the United States has some problem with parking. The simple response to the limited supply of parking in cities is to build more massive parking garages.

ParqEx has another solution. As a people, we can do more to solve the parking problem ourselves. For example, Chicago Parking in the West Loop is extremely difficult. If every business and individual listed their parking spaces on the ParqEx platform and made them available for rent when they are not using them, parking instantly becomes more available – not to mention the revenue these businesses and individuals will receive from listing and renting their spots. Rent parking Chicago! List parking Chicago! 

It’s pretty simple. Share your parking spaces. Help others. Make money.

Traffic congestion and parking availability are real problems for most large developed cities, yet bright tech companies are developing innovative services to integrate connected cars with the connected real estate – in an effort to: change the real estate tech landscape through the evolution of connected cars.

Evolving Connected Cars

What does this “connected” really mean? Basically, it means online connection and integration with the surrounding real estate tech: parking garages, driver-less cars, online cars, residential and commercial parking spaces, mass transit, delivery services, government oversight, etc.

According to Wikipedia:

“A connected car is a car that is equipped with Internet access, and usually also with a wireless local area network. This allows the car to share the internet access with other devices both inside as well as outside the vehicle.”

Along comes the rapidly advancing cloud and mobile computing technologies, transforming the connected car’s capabilities with mobile apps and remote access; the cloud and mobile devices are giving connected car owners enhanced: convenience, security, functionality, and comfort in their day-to-day use – not to mention the option to not even drive or own a car (driver-less cars).

For instance, here are some features of cloud based connected cars, explained by Wikipedia:

“Increasingly, Connected Cars (and especially electric cars) are taking advantage of the rise of smartphones, and apps are available to interact with the car from any distance. Users can unlock their cars, check the status of batteries on electric cars, find the location of the car, or remotely activate the climate control system.”

Also, mobile apps are being used by connected car real estate tech to:

– find parking spaces

– get rides

– rent private vehicles

– deliver commercial or residential packages

– integrate parking garages online

– integrate driverless cars online

– connect all other real estate tech services to the connected car’s functionality.

Connected cars are evolving in tandem with the real estate tech around them; for instance, diverless cars (the ultimate connected car) present tangible solutions, yet still won’t be adopted by the masses until a streamlined system is set-up to facilitate start to end transportation – including parking.

Parking and Connected Cars

Driverless cars are the future for connected cars, and the technological and physical infrastructure to facilitate its mass adoption are being developed now. This is the topic discussed in a recent article found in online publication ChicagoInno, called: “How Are Parking Startups Preparing for a World With Driverless Cars?”, written on June 8, 2016 by Jim Dallke.

Lauren Isaac, Manager of Sustainable Transportation, has some interesting driverless car predictions, as the article explains:

“Predictions vary on when driverless cars will become a reality. Isaac believes we’ll see autonomous vehicles publicly available around 2018-2020, and 30%- 40% adoption rate by 2030. And we may not see 100% adoption until 2080 or 2090, if we get there at all.”

These driverless cars still need various parking locations to facilitate quick service to an entire area. The ParqEx App, for instance, would provide a parking platform for owners of driverless cars to use for optimal logistics. Finding parking solutions with technologies, like ParqEx, and integrating parking facilities online with the surrounding real estate tech, are both vital components in the evolution of connected cars, especially driverless cars.

Summary

The sharing economy is being developed using: mobile app and cloud computing technologies. The availability of Internet access has dramatically increased since mobile and cloud computing technologies have become readily accessible for nearly everyone in America. This is changing the way businesses operate and society interacts.

The evolution of connected cars is integral to the sharing economy, including logistical solutions like: delivery, transportation, and parking – all involving connected cars. Driverless cars will be a viable option for the masses only when parking arrangements are facilitated with automated online solutions. Ultimately, the evolution of connected cars is: driverless cars integrated into the real estate tech surrounding their day-to-day functionality.

Please contact us to learn more about connected cars and our parking solutions for them.

• You’ll save money. It’s simple: parking in the city using ParqEx will save you money. We all hate that feeling of spending $20 on something, later to find out that same thing was available for $10. Once you pay that $50 to park outside Wrigley Field, you’re not getting that money back after you realize ParqEx had an available spot even closer to the stadium for half the price. With parking, unfortunately there are no price adjustments or price matching. Why pay more than you should for parking when you can be spending your hard earned money on things you love; like Cubs and Blackhawks tickets. Start spending money the way you want to spend it. It’s more fun that way!

• You’ll make money. There aren’t too many things better than making money while doing nothing. If you’re already making money by sitting on the couch watching the Bears on Monday Night Football, well, here’s a way you can be making more money – and if you’re not yet as lucky as the Bears fan mentioned above, here’s where ParqEx comes to the rescue. It’s as easy as downloading the ParqEx app on your smart phone or tablet or visiting the ParqEx website and listing your parking spot on our platform. It’s like listing your apartment on Airbnb, but doing so with your parking spot. So if you’re working a 9-5 job or going on vacation for a week, list your parking spot on ParqEx daily, weekly, or monthly and start earning the money you deserve.

• You’re caring about your community. Parking can be frustrating. Very frustrating. Why? Because there always seems to be WAAAY more cars looking for parking than parking spots available. ParqEx is solving the parking crisis by making more parking spots readily available, but we can’t do it without your help. By listing your spot on the ParqEx website or app, you can help out your community by making it easier for everyone to park – and in turn, these people can spend more time doing what they want to do in your city.

This is our new chat feature. Rent from Spot if you can, we hear he’s a nice guy!

The best part about being who we are is the fact that we thrive on our customer suggestions to improve our user interface and experience.

By popular demand, it was a no-brainer to add a chat feature in-app. As of now, renters and owners can chat with one another about a listing and can exchange details and preferences to avoid confusion.

We aim to make this one more great improvement to layer on to an overall simpler way to park in and around the city.

The update is available on Android, iOS and website.

Sure, our update is small, but we are excited and hope you are too.

If you ever have an idea or suggestion, e-mail us at: support@ParqEx.com or tweet us @ParqEx.

ParqEx CEO & founder Vivek with Michael and Daniel welcome a neighbor at the Randolph Street Market in Chicago.

Some people may never think to talk to or greet their neighbor down the block. ParqEx is a game changer because it has the ability to bring folks together for a common need; parking.

Parking in a city like Chicago is a disaster, but folks can attest to their knowledge of those secret spots. They may know a friend. They may own a spot themselves. This is a demand from the people, ParqEx recognizes this demand and offers a shared platform to give and take the needs of a community and simplify the exchange. Naturally, relationships have the potential to be created.

Aside from maintaining the technology to support a community exchange and its development, our marketing campaigns are timely and address local events in our neighborhood, in and around Chicago. ParqEx has a presence at gatherings with the “Street Team” offering short conversations about our app, account creation, and of course, photo ops with our neighbors!

We are looking to stand with and sponsor community partners. Sit tight to see what we have in store next.

ParqEx is changing the way technology brings a community together.
