Get My Parking: 5 Ways to Make Access Faster in your Parking Lot

Operators are always on the hunt for ways to make entry and exit as seamless and fast as possible in their locations. It’s usually easy to incorporate improved technology and new equipment into a brand-new garage when it’s being designed, but upgrading a well-worn, traditional parking lot into an easy-access location can be quite the challenge.

With Get My Parking’s solutions, you can streamline access in your locations, set up touchless parking, and offer your customers a fully hands-on experience. If you’re an operator thinking about setting up touchless access, here are a few ways to make your parking lot faster, smarter, and friendlier to your parkers.

• Upgrade your gates

Smart access mechanisms like license plate recognition and RFID are a great way to prevent cars queuing up to get a ticket and open the gates. GMP’s IoT GateKit integrates seamlessly with existing parking hardware so that you don’t have to invest in brand-new equipment. With GMP Access, you can upgrade and automate legacy gates using off-the-shelf, Plug N Play components to provide free-flow, touchless access to parkers via LPR, RFID, QR, etc.

• Get a parking app

Create a white-labeled parking app customized to the T with their brand logo, colors, and theme. Parkers can use the app to find your locations, use your services, and pay online seamlessly. The app works well for both gated and ungated locations and with different kinds of smart access mechanisms. Users can check out locations through the app and get to know about your rates, operating hours, offers, and access methods before they’re on their way.

• Go appless

In gateless locations, faster parking means faster payments. Offer lightning-fast, touchless payments for your walk-in parkers using secure QR code technology. Just set up a high-res QR where your parkers can see it so they can scan it and pay online on a white-label web app. 

• Set up permits

Create flexible permits that your parkers can customize and buy online, either through a web app or through your parking app. Parkers with permits can access gated lots much faster since they don’t have to create a session - if your location has LPR/RFID technology, the gates will automatically open when they read the permit-holder’s license plate, making entry even faster. You can also partner up with corporate companies or fleets to set up employee permits, which can be fully or partially paid by the employer.

• Automate it and forget it

With a complete picture of all parking data easily accessible on a centralized admin dashboard, the operator’s team can remotely track and control their operations. Our parking analytics tool lets you monitor the health of all your lanes and gates, track parking trends and numbers and set up critical alerts for events you want to be notified about. You can reduce the manpower required to operate it with automatic access and ticketing.
