Using a Smart System with Residential Properties
A great perk for any property is the use of technology to improve the overall appeal and experience. One of the first things a client, resident, or potential resident sees is in the parking lot, so it should stand to reason that upgrading this experience will set a property above the rest. With smart parking technology, a property can boast true 21st century technology support and the ability to serve residents 24/7 to meet all their parking needs even if the office is closed.
Smart parking technology uses tools and equipment to communicate with a smart device such as a phone or tablet in order to control some or all aspects of the parking experience. This can be from permit releases for parking, registering guests, finding available spaces, and more. This is typically done through sensors, cameras, and a mobile application, among other tools that can fully customize the experience to each property.
How to Use Smart Parking Software as a Resident
In order for a resident to take full advantage of the smart parking software, they first must use a supported device such as a smartphone or tablet that has the app on it like ParkingBadge for example. After downloading the app, the user can then register their user profile. In this profile they can enter cashless payment options like cards or other cashless methods in order to pay for fees or parking (if applicable). They can then also enter their property information such as resident address in the community, and then also register their vehicle through their license plate, as well as make and model to make ID easier. In the case of guest parking, users can register their guests if needed through the app and follow the same steps as their own car, but placing a temporary allowance to use the property for parking. If an issue arises, the resident is able to contact support, and even call in towing services if needed.
How to Run Smart Parking as a Residential Manager
The smart parking system is an ease to work with as it is all clear on the application. As residents register their vehicle(s) and attach them to their address, profiles are being created individually to the resident. The system keeps track of vehicles and also guest registration through the resident all in an easy to read format. If the need arises, fees and payments can be applied to the system to reflect in real time as residents pay the fees if needed. Once ParkingBadge customizes the app to the residential company or property, everything is custom to the property. If the need arises, management can call law enforcement, or towing services to remove vehicles that are not registered or are in violation as outlined in lease agreements. There is also 24/7 security recording that can be used if needed by law enforcement or residential security officers. These systems are very easy to use and communicate through a cloud-based system.
Benefits of a Smart Parking System for Residential Properties
Contrary to popular belief, smart parking properties do not always charge a fee or need payments. In the real estate sector, they are used for organizational purposes and as a way to guarantee parking for a resident with at least one vehicle per address. These types of systems still offer a wide range of benefits. These benefits of ParkingBadge software include parking management through tracking, new user registrations, parking permitting, controlling who comes in and leaves a parking area, designating parking areas for specific needs, towing enforcement, and surveillance, as well as tons of other features.
