When it comes to parking, your visitors and staff expect ease, convenience, and flexibility. From when they arrive to the moment they park, a combination of intuitive hardware and software solutions work together to create a seamless and near-frictionless experience. And that is even more so the case when it comes to airport parking mobility.

Permit management is at the forefront of airport parking operations. Responsible for roughly 15% to 30% of recurring parking revenue, employees, contractors, and registered visitors require reliable parking permit options that are easy to adopt. This will make it an effective way for airport authorities to achieve their passenger goals.

Below are four considerations when investing in permit management systems for your airport parking operation.

1. Offer digital permit options that meet evolving customer needs.

The future of parking interactions is frictionless. The first step to achieving this is by offering various digital permit options such as QR code scan-and-go, vehicle transponders, or Bluetooth Low Energy permits that frequent visitors can use to easily enter and exit your parking facility.

Digital permits will provide an all-around faster, safer, and more convenient customer experience that increases traffic flow throughout your parking facility.

2. Financial flexibility through regulated revenue processes.

With a permit management solution, your parking operator can manage your entire billing and collections processes for you, giving you the flexibility to determine your billing cycle and enabling you to plan and regulate your monthly cash flow with ease.

Whether it's for a long-term, short-term temporary guest or contract permit, you have the necessary tools to support an enhanced, customer-focused parking service. 

3. Real-time insights with robust reporting.

A permit management system makes operational administration effortless. The system’s wide variety of pre-defined reports allows authorized users to analyze and view financial and statistical information. The data can be exported into customizable reports for easy review and analysis.

When paired with financial reporting, you can gather insights into parking habits, keep tabs on your daily transactions, and manage reservations at both a staff and visitor level.

4. Increased end-user satisfaction with reservation ease.

Planning where you need to park can be an overwhelming feat for many, especially in high-volume destinations like airport facilities. With permit management software, your visitors can easily park knowing that there is a spot available for them. This will, in turn, increase overall end-user satisfaction levels and help you optimize your facility for peak times.

A permit management system is an essential addition to any airport parking facility. Successfully manage your operation on all fronts, from subscriber data and information privacy to financial processing and flexible software and hardware solutions integration.
