For parking operators, property owners, and property managers, the invisible threat of revenue leakage is a familiar challenge. Revenue loss may stem from human error, intentional misuse of parking, such as tailgating other vehicles, or limitations in parking operations. But what if we told you that your parking facility could automatically capture revenue that would otherwise be lost? ParqEx has addressed the revenue loss and leakage problems. Our robust combination of license plate reading cameras and our pay-on-exit payment system provides a solution to revenue leakage in your parking operations. Stop parking revenue loss with LPR and pay-on-exit tech from ParqEx!

The Problem: Parking Facility Revenue Leakage

Parking facilities, lots, and parking garages without robust access control systems or enforcement measures face the recurring problem of parking revenue leakage. Parking facility revenue leakage occurs when vehicles manage to leave the facility without paying for parking and take full advantage, and then some, of grace periods. More often than not, these cases go entirely unnoticed by parking management or parking operators, explaining why we claim it’s an invisible threat.

But even parking facility access control systems, like gate arms or ticket kiosk-based models, experience revenue loss. Tickets are “lost,” gate arms malfunction, vehicles tailgate paying vehicles, and enforcement is genuinely inconsistent. This is where we state: stop parking revenue loss with LPR & pay-on-exit tech from ParqEx! Our tech-driven solution is the immediate answer to the parking facility revenue leakage problem.

The ParqEx Answer: LPR + Pay-on-Exit

ParqEx’s access control parking license plate reading technology automatically captures images of every vehicle’s license plate upon both entry and exit of the parking facility in real-time. When this camera-operated access control system is combined with the pay-on-exit payment process, parking operators, owners, and managers can regain revenue control over their property.

Here’s LPR + Pay-On-Exit Works Together:

1. Vehicle Enters: Only pre-approved users (with payment information included in their profile on the ParqEx parking app) can access the property. The LPR system captures the license plate number and automatically logs these approved vehicles’ timestamps in real time. The User experience—there is no need for tickets or gates; the car is tracked by its license plate.
   
2. Vehicle Exits: The LPR parking system recognizes the plate, automatically calculates the parking duration based on entrance and exit timestamps, and immediately charges the driver based on pre-set rates for the exact duration of their stay.
   

This simple ParqEx automation eliminates potential loopholes and results in secure revenue control.

Real Results: Revenue Recovered in Real Time

One of our current properties has benefited from LPR and recently activated the ParqEx pay-on-exit feature. Since the property has utilized both LPR and pay-on-exit technology together, it has consistently identified 2-3 unpaid transactions daily, situations in which vehicles would have otherwise exited without payment. 

2-3 caught transactions per day already contribute to the property’s bottom line. However, during peak traffic periods such as weekends, events, or favorable weather seasons, that number can spike to 15-30 unpaid transactions captured and converted to revenue in just a single day! Before ParqEx’s property technology and pay-on-exit payment system, these vehicles would have left the property entirely unnoticed, leading to thousands of dollars in revenue loss for the property each month.

With ParqEx, any vehicle that leaves without payment will automatically be charged once the LPR camera detects that the car has exited the property. Stop parking revenue loss with LPR and pay-on-exit tech without adding extra staff or complicated manual enforcement measures.

Why It Works – The Explanation is Simple

• ParqEx Automation = Accuracy: ParqEx’s LPR cameras capture each vehicle’s license plate with near-perfect accuracy, eliminating the human error that often occurs in manually operated systems.
  
• Touchless and Easy for Drivers: Drivers no longer need to keep track of tickets (or worry about losing them), and there are no confusing kiosks to navigate at entry and exit. Approved drivers can simply enter the parking facility and park, while the system takes care of the rest.
  
• Zero Tolerance for Lost Revenue: Every vehicle’s entry and exit is tracked and reconciled. If a car tries to exit without payment, the system detects it, captures the information, and immediately charges the user using the payment info already provided in their user profile.
  

That’s a Wrap on Stop Parking Revenue Loss with LPR & Pay-on-Exit Tech

Parking revenue leakage is the silent killer of parking profits. When properties take advantage of ParqEx’s LPR and pay-on-exit payment systems, property owners, managers, and parking operators can plug those leaks and transform every parking session into real parking revenue and profit.

Remember, ParqEx’s most recent property to activate the pay-on-exit feature has already seen 2-3 recovered transactions on a daily basis. That is significant in terms of savings and profit! So just imagine what a massive boost in revenue the property is about to experience during the peak summer season, anticipating to catch 15-30 unpaid exits daily! All that without lifting a finger or investing in more parking staff or enforcement officers.

We’ve stated it once and will reiterate that parking enforcement is a significant challenge for everyone involved in parking management. Whether it’s property owners, property management, HOA boards, enforcement officers, or towing providers, guaranteeing that a parking facility contains only authorized vehicles following all rules and regulations can be tricky. However, this challenge becomes manageable with ParqEx’s innovative enforcement solution—the Enforcer App. For over ten years, our Enforcer App has been rising to the challenge, providing relief to hundreds of clients nationwide. With ongoing improvements and newly added features, our Enforcer App enhances efficiency and accuracy on the property management side and streamlines processes on the towing side. Discover how ParqEx’s comprehensive towing and impound management solution can bring you the reassurance you have been looking for in your towing operations.

What is ParqEx’s Enforcer App?

Here is a brief overview of ParqEx’s Enforcer App before we dive into the exciting details of how ParqEx’s comprehensive towing and impound management solution can be the answer you’ve been looking for. The Enforcer App is a mobile application that covers all aspects of parking enforcement and towing management, enabling property owners, management, enforcement officers, and towing companies to manage citation issuance, permit management, towing dispatch, impound management, and revenue collections. With added features such as field tools and integration capabilities, the app offers a robust end-to-end enforcement and towing solution.

Key Features of ParqEx’s Comprehensive Towing and Impound Management Solution

1) Mobile License Plate Recognition (LPR)

A vital feature for both enforcement and towing operations is ParqEx’s mobile LPR enforcement system. Integrated into the Enforcer App, this capability allows enforcement officers to identify all vehicles on the property quickly. By scanning a license plate, officers can access a detailed history of the car and view any associated permits or passes. In a sea full of authorized users (internal or external who have active parking reservations), if officers come across an unauthorized vehicle or one violating parking regulations, the system enables enforcement officers to issue parking citations and arrange for towing. Once a tow is initiated, the mobile license plate recognition towing solution assists towing operators in promptly identifying and verifying the vehicle, minimizing human error, and streamlining the enforcement and towing process on-site.

2) Towing Requests at the Touch of a Button

If enforcement officers determine that a tow is necessary, the Enforcer App enables them to submit towing requests at the touch of a button. ParqEx’s towing dispatch interface will promptly notify the towing operator that immediate action is required. This will clear the property of unauthorized vehicles and those that have exceeded the allowed parking fines, enhance the property’s security, and free up parking spaces for other compliant drivers’ vehicles.

3) Seamless Towing & Impound Documentation

After enforcement officers identify and tag a vehicle for towing in the Enforcer App, the app provides straightforward workflows for towing and impounding. While enforcement officers are generally very familiar with the parking facility they monitor, towing operators are usually less acquainted. The app enables enforcement officers to attach pictures, notes, and timestamps, documenting the vehicle’s condition before towing and its location within the parking facility and ensuring a detailed digital record is kept for any towing operational need (or any future legal requirement if necessary). With this streamlined workflow, enforcement officers and towing operators can collaborate easily and efficiently, thus guaranteeing a smooth towing experience in which all essential impound documentation is already provided.

4) Automatic Notifications & Updates

Once a tow has been issued through the Enforcer App, towing operators, property managers, and vehicle owners will automatically receive a notification. The transparency of ParqEx’s Comprehensive Towing and Impound Management Solutions surrounding towing and impound actions helps keep all parties informed, eliminating the fear that vehicles have been stolen when owners can no longer see their cars in the spot where they left them. Furthermore, with detailed documentation and a digital record linked to the vehicle’s file in the app, the owner can understand why their vehicle was towed, thereby reducing complaints.

5) Towing Revenue Collections

A significant benefit of ParqEx’s Enforcer App for towing companies and operators is its towing revenue collection capabilities. The app enables real-time payment processing, eliminating the need for vehicle owners to pay by check or in person and allowing them to handle everything through the app. This, of course, streamlines the entire process and removes delays in receiving funds. It is convenient for towing companies and customers, ensuring that all fees are collected and preventing missed payments, making the Enforcer App a fantastic impound management solution.

6) Detailed Reporting and Analytics

ParqEx’s Enforcer App provides detailed enforcement and towing analytics. With comprehensive data, property managers and owners can monitor enforcement trends, closely track month-over-month performance, and make informed decisions regarding parking management, parking enforcement, and towing management needs.

Why the Enforcer App is the Ideal Towing Solution

1) Improved Efficiency

The Enforcer App significantly reduces the time required for effective towing and impound management by automating and streamlining communication. Towing operators no longer need to wait for property management to find paper records or struggle to interpret poorly handwritten notes and citations; everything is managed digitally in the app and is easily accessible. Furthermore, ParqEx’s Enforcer App features an offline mode, allowing towing operators to use the app even in areas without service or WiFi. With improved communication, detailed vehicle information, history logs, and offline capabilities, the efficiency of ParqEx’s comprehensive towing and impound management solution instills confidence.

2) Cost Savings

Towing is an expensive industry! That said, it’s essential to recognize the opportunities for towing companies to cut costs. With ParqEx’s Towing Enforcer App, there is significantly improved efficiency and thorough record-keeping that help avoid costly errors. Considering this, towing companies and property managers can reduce improper towing practices, avoid the expensive mistake of towing the wrong vehicle, nearly eliminate unnecessary delays, and sidestep costly legal disputes. Furthermore, the app’s automation also minimizes the need for additional staff to handle administrative tasks since everything is already organized within the app.

3) Accuracy and Compliance

In the same breath, ParqEx’s Comprehensive Towing and Impound Management Solution provides clear and detailed documentation, real-time vehicle updates, and immediate in-app notifications for towed vehicles. This helps property managers and towing operators ensure accuracy and adherence to all local laws and regulations.

4) Enhanced Customer Experience

The towing industry may never be a crowd favorite among vehicle owners, but improved communication between towing operators and owners through the Enforcer App can enhance the customer experience. Automatic notifications and accessible communication lines help reduce frustration and confusion, informing owners about their vehicles’ towing and impound status in real-time.

Real-World Applications

So whether you manage a private surface parking lot, a commercial property with hundreds of parking spaces, or a residential community with a multi-leveled parking garage, ParqEx’s comprehensive towing and impound management solutions can help in a wide variety of situations such as:

• Private Property Parking
• Residential Community Parking
• HOA Community Parking

• Target Market: iParq historically focuses on universities, municipalities, and large institutions; ParqEx appeals to both institutional and private property sectors.

B. ParqEx vs. T2 Systems

T2 Systems provides large-scale parking solutions widely used by municipalities, campuses, and private operators. It includes hardware and software for permitting, enforcement, citation appeals, and payment.

Key Distinctions

Traxero (formerly multiple integrated towing/public safety products) provides software solutions for citation management, lien management, towing dispatch, and auctions.

Key Distinctions

• Modular Approach: Traxero’s platform results from multiple acquired products that can be pieced together for different workflows. ParqEx is a single-integrated solution.

In the ever-evolving urban transportation landscape, pay-on-exit parking systems have emerged as an excellent solution for parking lot operators, parking facility owners, and drivers seeking parking. This short blog will discuss the mechanics of pay-on-exit parking, how it’s transforming parking experiences, and how making the most of pay-on-exit parking benefits everyone.

What is Pay-on-Exit Parking?

Pay-on-exit parking (or gated parking or parking access and revenue control systems (PARCS)) is a method where customers pay for their parking stay once they leave the parking facility. This pay-on-exit parking system generally involves three main elements:

•  Entry of parking facility: A parking ticket is issued to vehicles entering the parking facility with entry time and pertaining identification information.

•  Pay Station: Payment is made before exiting (kiosk, ticket scanning, or manual payment with parking employee). It accepts cash, credit cards, and mobile payments.

• Exit of parking facility: The parking ticket is validated as having already been paid (for vehicles that haven’t paid yet, there’s often a last-minute payment option upon exit of the parking facility), allowing the vehicle to exit.

The Customer Journey

Imagine driving into a parking lot, pulling a parking ticket, and only worrying about payment once you’re ready to leave. This convenience and ease are the essence of pay-on-exit parking. Customers can shop, go out to restaurants, go to the hospital, visit a friend and their condo, or attend events without the pressure of a ticking expiring meter, a traditional parking system that requires constant monitoring and payment, or a parking reservation about to expire.

1) Customer Journey – Downtown Shopping

The driver enters the busy downtown ParqEx-LPR-powered parking facility, the license plate recognition camera captures a picture of the plate, and the driver proceeds into the parking facility, parks their vehicle, and enjoys their shopping day without worrying about time constraints. Once they have finished shopping, the time spent is calculated by the LPR data, and the driver can pay for their parking at the kiosk or via the app. Once payment is complete, the gate arms will recognize the license plate as having already paid, the gate will open, and the driver will continue on with their day.

2) Customer Journey – Event Venue After a Concert

Now imagine a busy headlining concert is coming to town. Of course, the hosting venue needs a quick and seamless parking system to accommodate the constant come-and-go of concert-goers. For a venue equipped with ParqEx’s LPR cameras, concert-goers have to drive through the entry, the LPR camera will log their license plate, and they can find a parking spot. After the concert, customers must pay their time-based parking fee at the kiosk or within the app and proceed to the exit hassle-free. Pay-on-exit clearly ensures an efficient flow of traffic for a busy event venue.

Advantages for Operators and Customers

Pay-on-exit systems benefit customers, operators, employees, and property management teams. Some of these benefits include:

• Better Financial Control: Ensures all customers pay before exiting, improving revenue management.

• Increased Customer Satisfaction: Reduces the stress of immediate payment or a ticking parking meter, enhancing the overall experience.

• Heightened Efficiency: A centralized payment station or kiosk, instead of a manually operated pay station, can reduce congestion and streamline traffic flow.

• Seamless Flexibility: Supports various payment methods, catering to customer preferences.

Technological Integration

Modern pay-on-exit systems, like ParqEx’s, are not just about convenience and control. They are also about the future. These systems can integrate advanced features like license plate recognition, touchless ticket dispensing, and mobile payments. These innovations contribute to an easy and user-friendly parking experience, making you feel excited about the future of parking.

How Pay-On-Exit works with ParqEx

As ParqEx is the market leader in smart parking solutions, we have developed a modern pay-on-exit solution incorporating property technology. Our systems prioritize making the most of pay-on-exit parking. It ensures security and proper revenue collection, minimizes violations, makes the process easy for all users, and maximizes parking operation efficiency. The ParqEx pay-on-exit parking system comprises three elements:

 •  Making a reservation: Users can book parking with ParqEx’s parking app and select their desired parking window. This reservation system will require an initial payment of the desired parking window.

 •  Entry of parking facility: With an authorized ParqEx reservation, vehicles can enter via our Access + app, a mobile application that opens the garage door upon arrival, or via approved license plates scanned upon arrival with our Access + Premium LPR cameras, which use advanced technology to recognize and verify vehicles.

•  Exit of parking facility: For users who have overstayed their parking reservation window, additional charges, which are calculated based on the extra time spent in the facility, will be applied upon exiting the facility. Thus, the “Pay-On-Exit!”

Conclusion

Pay-on-exit parking systems are one of the many leaps in parking management that have taken place in the past few years. They prioritize customer convenience and operational efficiency, creating a more organized and profitable parking operation. 

Property managers and owners, contact ParqEx, and we will show you how our technology is making the most of pay-on-exit parking!

In the busy world of parking management and enforcement, the introduction of ParqEx’s Enforcer App has been welcomed with open arms. Property owners, property management teams, enforcement companies, booting companies, and tow companies have struggled with proper enforcement over the years and only had a quick solution once the Enforcer App became available. Yet, white labeling capabilities genuinely unlock the true potential and power of ParqEx’s innovative enforcement solution. By embracing white labeling, ParqEx allows property managers, enforcement agencies, and developers to rebrand the Enforcer App, seamlessly integrating into ParqEx’s clients’ existing services. In the following sections, we will delve into 11 powerful ways to bolster parking enforcement with white label, including the benefits of brand consistency, the undisputed advantages of a built-in revenue collections module, and the immediate strengthening of security that mobile license plate recognition (LPR) capabilities on all enforcement devices provide to the property.

White Labeling: 3 Powerful Ways to Bolster Parking Enforcement With White Label

White labeling is not just a tactic; it’s a strategic move that allows companies to present a product independently without the overhead of creating it from scratch. ParqEx has had over ten years of experience in property technology, so our tech suite is market-proven and entirely available to be white-labeled. In terms of enforcement, this means offering our robust Enforcer App (and Access + or Access + Premium LPR technologies if needed) to clients who can customize and integrate it into their brand identity. The impact of this strategic approach is manifold! Here are the first 3 of 11 powerful ways to bolster parking enforcement with white label:

1. Brand Consistency: Through white labeling ParqEx’s Enforcer app, businesses can maintain a consistent brand experience for their users, reinforcing trust, recognition, and branding.
2. Rapid Deployment: Since the Enforcer App is already available, businesses can handle time to market. The app can be deployed rapidly after a quick initial setup and rebranding with ParqEx, saving you valuable time and resources. 
3. Cost Efficiency: Developing a proprietary solution can be expensive and time-consuming. White labeling bypasses this, providing a cost-effective alternative where businesses can use a market-proven solution while making it their own, ensuring you get the most out of your budget.

ParqEx’s Enforcer App: 8 Powerful Ways to Bolster Parking Enforcement With White Label

At its core, the Enforcer App is a real-time parking enforcement tool that simplifies the management of all parking facilities and their parking spaces. The Enforcer App allows for instant verification of vehicles and issuance of violations with just a few taps on a smartphone, tablet, or desktop. Some of the app’s features include:

1. Smart Search: The Enforcer app’s smart search function allows management and enforcement officers to quickly locate registered vehicles using various search parameters such as VIN, license plate, reservation number, spot number, and more.
2. Instant Citations: The robust ParqEx dashboard effortlessly logs and manages all parking violations. The violation log allows officers to upload pictures of the offending vehicle and issue a digital parking citation within seconds. The app has various functionalities that make paperless ticketing (or paper, depending on preference) available for all users.
3. Mobile License Plate Recognition (LPR): Mobile LPR utilizes cutting-edge technology to scan license plates and enforce rules efficiently. Enforcement officers must simply upload a picture of the car’s license plate to the Enforcer app. The app will then immediately verify whether the vehicle is authorized to be on the property. Another feature built into the Mobile LPR is the ability to gain a detailed vehicle history on the property, allowing enforcement officers to see if this driver is a repeat offender.
4. Numerous Properties: For property owners, managers, and enforcement officers in charge of numerous properties, the Enforcer app caters to you as well. With easy drop-down menus and toggle functions between each property, enforcing numerous properties simultaneously becomes simplified via the app.
5. VIN Scanning: Over the years, parking enforcement has started recognizing the benefits of using VINs to ensure security and compliance at parking facilities. Like the mobile LPR feature, VIN scanning requires enforcement officers to take a picture of the VIN and upload it into the Enforcer app. The app then scans the image, allowing officers to issue citations, see the vehicle history, etc.
6. High-Res Imaging: No more blurry photos! All images uploaded into the Enforcer App are high-resolution, which reduces the difficulties enforcement officers and property managers experience with blurry images. Moreover, if a driver were to refute a parking citation, high-resolution images would serve as significant evidence.
7. In-App Revenue Collections: With instant citations, our in-app revenue collections module simplifies the payment process for management, enforcement officers, and all users. Instead of relying on printed citations (for clients who want printed materials vs. our entirely paperless option), citations sent via text or email, now all citations can be paid for within the app. This allows management to collect all parking-related fees in one place (this can also include fees like monthly parking, permits, etc.).
8. Strengthened Management: With total visibility and control, property management and enforcement officers can control who can gain access to their property and be in the know of everything going on 24/7, thus strengthening the management and security of the property.

The White Label Advantage

ParqEx’s clients can leverage these 11 powerful ways to bolster parking enforcement with white label while presenting the app as a native part of their service offerings. This enhances the user experience and positions the clients as tech-savvy leaders in the parking management and enforcement domain.

The impact of white labeling ParqEx’s Enforcer App goes beyond mere initial aesthetics. It’s a strategic decision that empowers clients to deliver advanced parking solutions under their brand umbrella. This promotes innovation, accelerates growth, and ensures a competitive edge in the market.

Vehicle identification numbers (VINs) are becoming increasingly a steadfast way to enforce parking. VINs, a unique alphanumeric code assigned to every vehicle, never change. The second a vehicle is assigned its VIN, it becomes the digital fingerprint of that car for its lifespan. Unlike license plates, VINs cannot change. Keep reading to see how parking technology proves that enforcing parking with VINs augments security for any property with a parking facility.

Prioritizing Safety:

Vehicle identification numbers (VINs) are crucial for law enforcement in finding stolen vehicles and investigating accidents. They are also critically essential for auto manufacturers when issuing widespread recall notices. But what about parking enforcement? How do VINs make your parking facility more secure and reliable, and why have we seen enforcement companies favoring VINs over license plates?

Enforcing Parking with Vehicle identification numbers (VINs) :

Parking always seems challenging, certainly in big cities. Moreover, parking enforcement in urban areas has its fair share of headaches. However, enforcement companies and property management rely more heavily on VINs to help streamline parking enforcement and management efforts. Here are a few examples of how enforcing parking with VINs augments security.

• Vehicle Registration: When new tenants or residents move into their new building, they register their vehicles into the property management software if parking is available. Typically, the questions ask for the vehicle specs, the make & model of the car, along with the license plate number. However, property management teams are now asking for VINs to ensure the most accurate record-keeping of each vehicle on their property. As VINs never change, property management and enforcement officers can handle the handful of instances where a resident or tenant will change their license plate number.
• Parking Tags & Permits: Enforcing of parking tags & permits is challenging. As this is the older way of enforcing parking, the security of the property is already at risk of people taking advantage of shortcuts. However, using VIN-specific tags and permits helps enforcement officers and property management quickly identify and verify each vehicle. Therefore, using VINs helps augment security in that enforcement officers can reduce unauthorized vehicles while ensuring only authorized vehicles gain access to the parking facility.
• Smart Parking Systems: VINs help facilitate the automatic entry and exit of authorized vehicles in parking facilities with more modern, up-to-date smart parking systems. With facilities using access control systems like ParqEx’s Access + or ParqEx’s Access + License Plate Recognition technology, enforcement and management can scan VINs and license plates, granting immediate identification of the vehicle attempting to access the parking structure. With features such as unauthorized vehicle access attempts and mobile LPR, using VINs hand-in-hand with smart parking systems unquestionably augments the security of the property.
• Parking Enforcement Technology: VINs, as the car’s unique identifier, help validate each vehicle on the parking property and accurately track its history. If the car is a repeat offender of parking rules and regulations, all previous violations are shown within the ParqEx Enforcer App for properties using ParqEx’s proprietary enforcement tool. If the enforcement officer needs to take action, all citations can be issued based on the VIN within the ParqEx enforcement app. Moreover, the revenue collections module built with ParqEx’s smart parking technology uses VINs as the primary identification method to ensure the most accurate information and payment of any violation, ticket, or parking-related fee.

As can be seen, Vehicle identification numbers (VINs) undoubtedly augment the security of every parking facility. People can take creative liberties with their vehicles. They change the color and body of the cars and most certainly change their license plates to something more custom. VINs never change, making them the most reliable way of ensuring security at a property. Are you intrigued by how enforcing parking with VINs augments security?

Proper parking enforcement is necessary for any type of parking facility, residential, commercial, or municipal parking. At the end of the day, city officials, parking enforcement officers, property management, property owners, HOA board members, and tenants do not want unauthorized people parking in their spots or on their property. Not only is it aggravating, but it is also a security risk for the property. So whether you have experienced parking enforcement hardships, are dealing with them now, or are ensuring violation-free future parking operations at your property, this article on how the ParqEx Enforcer App seamlessly heightens security is a good read for you.

What is the Parking Enforcer App?

What is the ParqEx parking Enforcer App? Our enforcement app is a state-of-the-art parking enforcement and management system. With our Enforcer app, enforcement officers can keep track of every vehicle coming and going from the property and take any necessary actions, such as issuing parking citations, booting, or even towing unauthorized vehicles. With features like mobile license plate recognition (LPR), VIN scanning, fee collection workflows, revenue collection modules, instant paperless violations, and more, the Enforcer app has become, time and time again, a fan favorite all across the country.

How does the Parking Enforcer App work?

Our main goal with the Enforcer App is to provide property owners, managers, staff, and enforcement officers with the most detailed information about the parking facility. Being able to open the app on their phones, tablets, or desktops, all authorized users gain insight into every aspect of the on-site parking operations. Here is how it works!

• Control

Regarding the security of a property, here is one of the most significant contributing factors to how the ParqEx Enforcer App seamlessly heightens security: total control. Owners and management have complete control over who can access their parking facilities. If your property allows transient renters and visitors to park at your property for increased revenue with the help of ParqEx’s Marketplace & GuestParq technologies, staying in control of who can access your property is a crucial element to your facility’s security, and that is precisely what the Enforcer app provides.

• Digital Options

ParqEx’s Enforcer app works beautifully with all digital parking options, such as our access control lines. With Access + and Access + Premium License Plate Recognition (LPR), the property no longer has to rely on parking tickets, decals, tags, passes, fobs, clickers, etc. Digital parking passes are issued and enforced with the Enforcer App. So cut your property’s costs drastically, stop utilizing antiquated parking technologies that residents and tenants tend to lose permanently, and embrace the digital options that ParqEx’s parking solutions and Enforcer app provide.

• Visibility

With total visibility, property owners and managers can see who is on the property at all times of the day. As the Enforcer App provides all information on every vehicle on-site, at a glance, you can see which cars belong to which tenant, which vehicles belong to guests who have active reservations via GuestParq, and which vehicles belong to transient renters with active Marketplace reservations. Suppose an unauthorized vehicle is on the property. With our real-time enforcement tools, you can immediately issue parking tickets via the app and take any next enforcement step.

• Secure Cross-Platform Convenience

Nowadays, everyone has their preference regarding smart devices, and ParqEx does not play favorites! Our app is designed to work with various platforms (i.e., iOS, Android, Windows, etc.). This secure cross-platform convenience allows all authorized Enforcer App users to make the most of our seamlessly integrated cloud-hosted technology on all devices and desktops.

• Paperless Ticketing

We already mentioned that ridding of antiquated parking tech like parking decals, printed tickets, fobs, clickers, etc., was a great way to cut costs. Another cost-cutting solution ParqEx’s Enforcer App provides is the ability to make your property entirely paperless regarding parking. The app can digitally issue all parking passes, tickets, citations, decals, etc., based on a property’s preference. Whether you want to embrace the paperless ticketing solution is your choice, but it is available for any property looking to minimize waste and decrease costs.

What are some Enforcer App features?

ParqEx is committed to providing our clients with the best end-to-end parking solutions. With that in mind, we continue to build out new Enforcer App features requested by our existing clients. They ask we deliver! It is as simple as that. Some of the features we love and our clients are undoubtedly thrilled with include: 

• Multiple Properties

More often than not, property owners, managers, and enforcement companies have more than just one property to enforce. With our Enforcer App, you can enforce as many properties as you have in your portfolio and then some. With easy toggles between each property, all authorized Enforcer App users can easily enforce multiple properties simultaneously.

• Smart Search

With our smart search tool in the Enforcer App, enforcement officers can quickly verify whether the vehicle is an authorized parker. They can search based on VIN, license plate, spot number, reservation number, make and model of the car, and more.

• Mobile LPR

We built a mobile license plate recognition tool within the Enforcer app to add to our smart search feature. All enforcement officers or management must do is take a picture of the vehicle’s plate and upload it into the Enforcer app. The app will immediately verify if the car is or is not supposed to be on the property. Moreover, enforcement officers will then gain detailed information into the history of this vehicle and have a firmer understanding of the subsequent enforcement action.

• VIN Scanning

Similar to mobile LPR, our VIN scanning feature is a practical enforcement feature. As a VIN is a unique identification, it is easy to gather information on the vehicle immediately upon scanning the VIN. Like mobile LPR, enforcement officers take a picture of the VIN and upload it into the Enforcer App, and the tech scans the image and does the rest.

• High-Resolution Images

All images uploaded into the Enforcer App are high-resolution. This feature reduces enforcement hardships as enforcement officers can zoom in on any image they need and gain a better understanding of the vehicle’s history on-site.

• Instant Citations

Gone are the days of printing parking citations and putting them on the vehicle’s dashboard. With ParqEx’s Enforcer App, enforcement officers can instantly issue citations within the app. Our violation log allows officers to upload a picture of the offense and issue a citation within seconds. If your property still wants to print parking violations, that is still an option, but the app can send those fines and parking tickets immediately to the user via text message or email instead.

• Revenue Collections Module

Our revenue collections module goes hand-in-hand with our instant citations feature. Instead of sending parking citations via text or email, all citations can be paid within the ParqEx app. Moreover, this feature allows property management to collect all parking-related fees. Our revenue collections module does not stop at parking tickets. It can also collect monthly parking fees, permit parking fees, garage cleaning fees, etc.

• Strengthened Management

Without a doubt, the ParqEx Enforcer App seamlessly heightens the security of the property and helps reinforce its management. Maintaining a real-time overview of everything happening at the parking facility of the property is reassuring.
