Everything you need to know about digital parking permits
Traditionally, a parking permit has been a physical object handed out to users which they in turn place visibly in their car. Administering physical parking permits is often time consuming and also difficult to measure and follow up over time. In addition, when there are hundreds, perhaps thousands, of parking permits to be renewed, changed or terminated, the administration can easily eat up both your time and money as a parking manager.
In other words, physical parking permits have worked well historically, but have not really kept up with the digital developments that are now taking place in parking management. More and more municipalities, property owners and parking operators are digitizing the management of their parking spaces in order to have better control, reduced administration and increased utilization.
“In other words, digital parking permits should be a matter of course for anyone who manages a large amount of parking spaces”
As parking management is digitized, the user's (those who park their vehicles) interaction with the parking manager is shifted from physical objects to digital environments. From parking meter to smartphone app. In this context, the conversion from physical to digital parking permits becomes a matter of course. Send out hundreds of parking permits with a few keystrokes or laminate an incalculable amount of physical cards?
In other words, digital parking permits should be a matter of course for anyone who manages a large amount of parking spaces; municipalities, property owners, parking operators, etc.
The benefits of digital parking permits are many. But some of the most important are:
- Reduced administration
- Digital Queue Management
- Easy to update and change agreements
- Better check how many parking permits are currently active
In addition, it is much smoother for the user to keep track of a digital state instead of a physical patch.
When evaluating the possibilities of digital parking permits, you should also consider how you can digitize your entire parking management. Permits are a small (but important) part when it comes to parking spaces.
What if you were to digitize all your parking processes? Contract parking, digital keys, digital agreements with bank ID, statistics and reports via digital dashboards, payment, notification, faster filling of vacancies and electric car charging as an integral part of the parking agreements?
The parking management of the future is digital and it is already available today!
