Simplicity In Parking

Nowadays the parking systems and parking equipment landscape has changed drastically to almost becoming a requirement for every business whether big or small. The industry itself has also advanced because of the high demand for parking systems and parking equipment with different versions of better efficiency being developed.

When it comes to looking for parking equipment for surface lots, underground garages, parking management systems, advanced parking access control with RFID/AVI readers, barrier gate systems, and parking garage payment systems one should be very choosy where they shop for such gear. Not many companies provide quality systems and equipment so one has to be very careful.

In addition, the same applies to ticket machines, parking pay machines, parking management software, pay-by-phone, and parking ticket and citation options. With customizable Gated Parking Systems, including Entry Stations (ticket machines), Exit Stations with or without payment options, Pay On Foot configurations, including bills, coins, credit, debit, coupons, Cashier Stations & Validation Stations, Multi-Space/Non-Gated Parking Systems, it becomes more critical to be extremely cautious to avoid future mishaps or loss of revenue in constant repairs or breakdowns.
Never settle for second best when it comes to your parking equipment and systems because what is cheap now will be expensive later and you will be regretted later on. Companies with years of experience and have developed unique & advanced parking control equipment should be your target.

Enhance Parking Revenue Operations

This is a sensitive issue for most businesses when it comes to parking revenue operations. It touches around the parking system POS and/or your parking lot POS. Most businesses do not realize that this system doesn't have to be complicated or hard to understand at all. Your parking lot POS or parking system POS can actually be the easiest to manage and use effectively and still have all the necessary or important functions, ensure proper parking rates are charged, and have full auditing for the cashier’s shift.

Always go for a parking lot POS or a parking system POS that enhances your parking operations instead of making it a headache. Another important attribute to look out for is its ease to train new staff because a difficult system makes such processes longer and time consuming. Also be keen to look out for a system that allows full-featured rate structures, discounts, validations, coupons, re-rate options, plus add service or inventory items (such as car wash) with tax included or excluded, etc., to better your experience as a user.

In case you’re seeking out more information on what else to expect with a parking system POS or a parking lot POS then see below:

-Message Center that includes barrier gate interface allows for automatic gate open upon paid transaction.

-Configurable to be able to allow pre-paid event parking, pay on entrance, or print entry ticket on entrance.

-Optional exit ticket printer (when Cashier is not in Exit Lane).

-System includes integrated touch screen LCD, USB ticket scanner, cash drawer, keyboard, mouse, thermal printer (single roll), credit/debit card processing, plus outdoor weather proof fee display.

-Optional second cash drawer that allows multiple cashiers to work on same station during breaks

Once most of these are available then you should have a wonderful experience in regards to parking lot revenue operations
