Technoso: Optimized Off-Street Parking for Municipalities and the Six Main Advantages of Cloud-Based Ticketless Systems

Cloud-based systems are typically more flexible in their integration with applications and external vendors. APIs (application programming interfaces) can easily access and update them. This is what allows municipalities to connect their system to other applications and systems easily and provide greater functionality regarding things like pre-booking subscriptions and automated payments. In essence, it has become much easier for these reasons to switch to more streamlined, profitable, and modern parking systems than before. Technoso has been onboarding our system to customers for ten years and counting. Here are our takeaways for why customers are optimizing and modernizing.

Revenue Generation, Managed Seamlessly

Most municipalities rely on revenue from off-street parking to help fund various public services and projects. As a result, they prioritize strategies that maximize revenue from parking fees. When municipalities optimize their off-street, they position themselves to be able to have a bird's eye view of all vehicle transgressions seamlessly. Thus, collecting data is vital to future project planning and budget forecasting.

Environmental sustainability

Most municipalities are now committed to reducing their environmental impact and are actively implementing measures to minimize the adverse environmental effects of their parking facilities. Ticketless systems eliminate the waste of those pesky paper tickets.

Customer satisfaction

Cloud-based systems increase customer satisfaction greatly by providing a strong infrastructure for clear signage and wayfinding systems. This, in turn, reduces unnecessary traffic jams by 70% caused by vehicles confused about where they can and can't park.

500% Reduction in Operating costs

By doing away with ticketing machines, paper tickets, and printing ink, there are no more maintenance or repair costs for faulty machines.

This can amount to significant savings over time.

When a paper ticket machine malfunctions, there is no fixing it until a technician comes to the site, diagnoses the problem, and fixes the hardware. A cloud-based ticket-free system greatly upgrades the operation with lowered cost overhead. It provides the lot manager with live diagnostics that tell them precisely what the issue is. In addition, a connected system can update and fix itself. In short, operators are paying less to do more.

Lost or stolen tickets

Operators who integrate into ticketless cloud systems exponentially reduce fraud and improve the overall security of the parking facility. Any mistakes that amount to customer care are virtually nonexistent. A customer cannot claim that someone took their parking, they can't claim that they lost their ticket, and they have the most accessible way to extend their parking terms. Therefore, the modern management system gives the operator easy decision-making control over all regional parking disputes.

Traffic Flow

Finally, and this one's a real kicker- ticketless systems like Technoso can increase traffic flow at the entrance lane by 70% over conventional ticketed systems. It's essentially a free-flow system, with the boom gate just serving as a security device. No more waiting in frustrating queues to enter the parking lot!

Combining these technologies in a Technoso system synergizes the benefits of each in a single, cost-effective solution – a one-stop shop for future-proof municipal parking management.” - Meir Kochubievsky, CEO at Technoso .
