Integration
A key benefit of ParkCharge is its ability to interface to existing car park access control systems to deliver the operator a fully integrated solution. This insures operators are able to leverage their existing infrastructure to offer the consumer the best possible experience whilst benefiting from such functionality as consolidated reporting and inventory management.
Operators are also able to deploy ParkCharge as a fully integrated service where the
tariff is managed from within the car park access control system or as a standalone
solution where the tariff is managed within ParkCharge.
Maximum Return
ParkCharge helps extend the life of access control equipment by reducing wear and tear
associated with high volumes of cash payments and paper ticket validations. In addition, operators stand to realise significant cost savings through reduced cash handing activity and by reducing the number of payment kiosks due to lower utilisation.
Loyalty & Retention
ParkCharge offers a comprehensive loyalty module which allows the operator to structure and offer powerful loyalty programs to ensure retention and encourage new business. Loyalty programs may be entirely in-house or in partnership with third party affiliates such as airlines and major retail chains.
