Parking Management Software for Property Managers
When talking about smart parking, many believe that this type of software can only be used in a traditional parking facility like a garage or parking lot. However, that is the magic of digital parking. It can be morphed and customized to fit any type of parking application from residential, curbside, staff parking, and street parking. The main focus of digital parking software is to control and monitor the traffic and maintain control over the enforcement of policies in the parking areas.
Residential parking is one of the many types of parking applications where digital software comes in handy. With the use of permits and digital applications, a residential complex can ensure the proper use of the parking areas, control the vehicles entering and exiting the property, as well as, keeping an eye on visitors and the time spent on the property. This provides additional peace of mind for tenants as it aids in security. The applications of this software on a residential scale ranges from large scale parking for large apartment buildings, or even small, more private parking lots and garages. From managing new permits or updating existing permit holder accounts, parking software can automate and simplify the whole process for all involved by switching over to a digital space or ‘cloud’. There are many benefits to using a digital space, especially in the residential sectors.
Digital Permits Defined
Digital permits or smart permits are systems that are electronically distributed to provide key information about a parking facility or area in reference to a specific license plate. When a permit application is processed, the application with the operator(s) can customize a specific permit based on information like location, and overall frequency of use in the parking areas. With digital permits, everything is operated through a digital space and can be accessed anywhere, anytime, and through any device with service from phones, tablets, and computers. After registration, the permit holder is registered through their plates and can be both given and denied access based on information registered to the plate. This information can be accessed anytime by parking enforcement officers and the users through their specific accounts.
Benefits for Smart Parking in Residential Spaces
A property manager has access to several benefits once a smart or digital system for parking is installed. These benefits of course depend on the scale of the operation, budget, and overall goals These benefits range from better efficiency and access control, collection of valuable data, increased enforcement ability, security, and more.
Efficiency and Access Control
With the use of equipment such as sensors, cameras, and license plate readers, digital parking can bring a major increase in overall use and efficiency. This is in part to a simplified process for all parties involved from users to managers. The cloud-based permit software management system allows for an ease of use in billing and payments for users without having to even leave the house. There is no need for a phone call or to wait in a line. All the aspects of parking can be controlled through the cloud-based application in real-time.
Collect Valuable Data for Key Decisions and Enforcement
This smart parking application is an excellent way for even a residential parking area to generate data. This data assists in determining who is using the facility, how long they’ve been on the property, and more. This can be especially helpful with enforcing visitor parking to a facility to ensure enough parking for actual tenants of the property.
This in turn increases security in a residential space. By having control over parking, the property manager can ensure better safety of who is on the property, and can determine for how long they’ve been there. This is also useful in keeping crimes down on the property thanks to additional cameras and other sensors.
With smart parking technology, clients and management can better communicate and provide better services. ParkingBadge is available with some of these amazing features as well as an Apple store IOS parking management app to better manage the parking for both management and clients.
