Streamlined Retail Partnerships with Get My Parking

Smart parking innovator Get My Parking introduces new features for Retail Parking partnerships. The solutions are designed to help operators enhance alternative revenue streams by partnering up with retail shops in and around their parking locations.

Retail partnerships allow shop-owners to offer free or discounted parking to their visitors and employees. These parking privileges are provided in the form of validations distributed to customers after they complete their payments at the shop. The invoices for these validations or customized permits are usually calculated in bulk and sent to the partner toward the end of the billing cycle.

For operators with thousands of permit-holders, managing numerous partner accounts and permits can be a lot of work. Most existing account receivables software require parking admins to organically input details about the validations to generate invoices. If the partner has any updates regarding account details, it has to be updated manually before the database is updated. This incessant back and forth slows down the invoicing process and subsequently the parking business.

Introducing the Partner Portal

Get My Parking is excited to launch the GMP Partner Portal, an AR solution designed to increase the transparency and convenience in your parking partnerships. It comes with self-serve portals through which your partners can distribute and track validations, receive invoices, and complete payments.

Here’s what the Partner Portal can do for you and your retail partner:

Distribute and track paperless validations

Once the partner and the operator have configured validations for their customers, the coupons can be distributed in the form of QR codes. Cashiers can choose a coupon from the self-serve portal and display the corresponding QR code to the customer, who can scan the QR code to validate their coupon and apply it automatically to their ongoing parking session created through a custom-branded parking app.

Track validation usage

Through the self-serve portal, the retail partners can track validation usage with comprehensive expenditure reports from individual retail branches, complete with visual representations of the data.

Automated invoices and hassle-free payments

Retail partners receive automated invoices with a detailed price breakdown on their self-serve portal and on their emails. They have a variety of payment methods to choose from like CC, Bank Debit, eCheck, ACH, Wire, etc. Partners can choose to pay directly from their portal or using the link in the email.

The GMP Partner Portal is an all-in-one AR solution that streamlines distribution, reporting, and payments for validations and permits. The self-serve portals work best when used with our award-winning suite of parking solutions that can set up automated access, touchless payments and a custom-branded parking app for your business.
