Smart Parking wins new contract with Wilson Parking, New Zealand

Global parking business Smart Parking Limited (ASX:SPZ) is delighted to announce it has won a new contract in New Zealand, having been chosen by Wilson Parking New Zealand as the preferred supplier of sensor and bay-finding technology at nine new sites.

Wilson Parking is recognised as the APAC market leader in car park operations with more than 285 carparks in New Zealand, and international activities at more than 700 locations in Australia, Singapore, China, Korea, Malaysia and Hong Kong.

The deal marks a continued cooperation with Wilson Parking New Zealand, which already has Smart Parking technology installed in 1,134 bays across four sites in FY17 including Auckland’s iconic SAP Tower.

Within the next twelve months Wilson Parking New Zealand expects to roll out up to nine new sites which will encompass over 3,000 parking bays. As preferred supplier, Smart Parking will provide its state-of-the-art parking technology at these locations.

Smart Parking’s sensors enable facilities to have access to real-time vehicle and parking space data. The bay-finding system identifies available spaces and then guides customers to them using clear digital signage and coloured LED lighting.

In conjunction, these technologies improve parking management, traffic flow, and overall customer experience.

Occupancy data collected through the sensors is transmitted in real-time to SmartRep, Smart Parking’s car parking management software tool. Accurate vehicle-by-vehicle, real-time and historical data on actual usage of the car park gives Wilson Parking a better understanding of drivers’ parking habits – knowledge that can be incorporated into future parking solutions.

Smart Parking CEO Paul Gillespie comments on the win: “We are proud to be working alongside Wilson Parking New Zealand in providing the best possible parking experience for their customers. The continued uptake of our systems in the region further cements our position as a world leader in the design, development, and management of parking technology”.
