Gated parking systems are widely referred to by parking professionals as Pay-on-Foot systems. They are the parking industry’s most effective and top-performing solution for parking revenue access and control. 

When exploring gated parking solutions, it’s critical to understand that they in no way can or should be compared to parking meter solutions. While both are types of parking equipment, they are two different solutions that sit on opposite ends of the parking access and control spectrum. They have entirely different functionalities, features, requirements, and price points.  

The main benefits of investing in gated parking technology is revenue generation and ultimate control over who parks on your property. Gated parking technology also tends to be a less hands-on and more customer-friendly solution. Why? Customers only pay for the parking they used and they never worry if their time is running out. Moreover, negative customer experiences associated with receiving a ticket are totally eliminated and you provide your organization or tenants with flexible marketing and payment validation options.

With a gated parking system, drivers can’t exit your parking facility unless they pay for parking. Moreover, gated parking technology enables you to set parameters for authorized visitors. For example, is your parking lot available to the public, or is it designated for staff and tenants only? Gated parking technology ensures your property’s parking regulations are abided by at all times. 

It provides peace of mind knowing that your investment is 100% secure, functional, and generating a maximum return on investment. Gated parking systems offer a variety of solutions designed for seamless investor and visitor experiences. They can be enhanced with advanced integrations, such as digital payment options, marketing channels, robust analytics, reports, and much more.
