What’s the biggest disrupter in the parking space? If you answered mobile phones, you’d be right.

After all, 88 percent of Canadian adults own a smartphone today, , and that number jumps to a whopping 98 percent for those age 15 to 24.

Despite the smartphone’s immense popularity, there is a in the interest of “native” apps – that is, applications you need to download to use (and update) from an app store – and an increased in “web” apps, which are easier to access and always up-to-date.

Enter Parkedin, Precise ͵��͵�� Inc.’s comprehensive and app-free solution that provides world-class customer experiences with frictionless parking integrations. It’s an cloud-based solution for the ultimate in convenience and control – for both your organizations and customers alike.

HOW IT WORKS

Leveraging a driver’s mobile phone, Parkedin is a mobile – and touchless -- payment platform and a dynamic management platform. Whether you have a gated or non-gated parking facility, or both, Parkedin future-proofs your investment in your customers.

Here’s how the process works:

For parking meters: Customers simply need to launch their mobile phone’s camera and point it towards the square QR code on the parking meter or nearby signage. Next, the customer chooses the duration and then pays. The touch-free Parkedin platform can be utilized for both on- and off-street operations. Connecting directly to the parking infrastructure, no additional hardware is required.

For gated systems: Similarly, a ticket is issued when pulling into a gated lot, revealing a QR code that can be scanned by the driver, when safe to do so, followed by payment. Insert the ticket at exit, to leave. Along with seamless access, Parkedin supports personalized reservations, validation and promotions, and subscriber permits solutions.

A HOLISTIC SOLUTION

Parkedin isn’t just meant for “the last mile,” but a complete A to Z solution, capable of virtualizing customer journeys from start to finish – even before they leave home.

Using a sophisticated combination of reservation, validation and subscriber intelligence, Parkedin is the one and only tool for customers to manage all of their commute needs -- and stops along the way.

• Reservation services: Parkedin processes everything customers need from the moment they park to their final destination: reserved parking per lot type, valet services, electric vehicle (EV) charging, car wash and jockey services, third party event registrations and customer specific solutions. Watch for examples on customer-specific reservations.

• Subscriber intelligence: Parkedin effortlessly supports commutes for regular visitors, tenants and staff, using hand-free Bluetooth for permits, automatic vehicle detection (at entry and exit points) and on-account management.

• Integrations: Several features help solidify customer engagement and satisfaction, including calendar reminders, integrated maps (via Waze), parking finder, loyalty programs, and customer service.

• Security: Another hallmark of Precise ͵��͵��’s solutions, security is paramount with Parkedin – from certified banking platforms and the highest PCI compliance to ensured data privacy and subscriber integrity.
