T2 Systems Introduces Next Generation of PARCS

 

 

 

Indianapolis, IN – December 13, 2018– T2 Systems, the largest parking technology provider in North America, today introduced T2 Loganä, its next generation of PARCS hardware. It is designed specifically for all gated parking solutions in vertical markets such as universities, municipalities, healthcare, property management, and airports.

 

 

T2 Logan is the latest product release from the company, who offers a unified, robust platform to manage every aspect of a parking operation. T2 consolidated its Series II hardware and ParkingSoft Gen 2 software to create the new T2 Logan solution.

 

“Our approach with T2 Logan was to make PARCS equipment that is more easily serviceable. The units have easy access to clear jams or restock paper, fewer moving parts, and require fewer service tools,” said T2 SVP of Strategy and Product Scot DeLancey. “With this serviceability, sleek look, and market-ready feature set—like touch screen, voice prompts, and barcode tickets—T2 Logan provides an excellent option for a user-friendly, reliable PARCS system.”

 

T2 Logan was first unveiled publicly last month in Orlando, FL at Connect, T2’s annual customer conference.

 

“We couldn’t be more excited to introduce T2 Logan as our next generation of PARCS,” said T2 CEO Adam Blake. “It’s a great example of how we are continually listening and responding to the needs of our customers and the market.”

 

“We’ve had a lot of great momentum in 2018 bringing new products to market,” added DeLancey. “T2 Logan is our fifth new product introduction this year. We’re excited to get it in the hands of customers.”

 

Orders for T2 Logan are now being accepted.

“Waze for Parking” app SpotAngels launches in LA with support from its local community

“Waze for Parking” app SpotAngels launches in LA

with support from its local community

 

 

 

 

SpotAngels – the “Waze for Parking” – a community-based parking app that helps drivers find parking and avoid tickets, announces today its launch in Los Angeles on the heels of a recent round of funding led by co-founder of Google Maps, Lars Rasmussen.

 

SpotAngels has previously established its community of drivers in the San Francisco Bay Area and Greater New York City saving them over $7.5m on street cleaning tickets as well as time and money finding parking. In San Francisco, 1% of the city’s drivers now actively use SpotAngels.

 

Unlike other apps like SpotHero that just show parking garages, SpotAngels shows street parking as well as provides you with alerts on parking rules so you never get a ticket.

 

“Our community of drivers has been asking us to expand to other cities where they travel to and where they have friends and family who struggle with finding parking and avoiding street cleaning tickets. Los Angeles is THE car city and although we can’t help with the traffic, we can help reduce the hours it takes to find a spot,” says Aboud Jardaneh, co-founder of SpotAngels.

 

SpotAngels displays a crowdsourced map showing the location of all street parking spots and garages, with detailed rules and prices kept up-to-date by the active community. It includes local specificities such as LA’s residential parking permits enabling to park for free. The map helps drivers find free and cheap parking, fast.

 

SpotAngels also makes sure that drivers never get a parking ticket. The app runs in the background and knows where and when you park your car and you leave a spot. It sends reminders when it’s time to move their car for street cleaning or any other parking rule.

After leaving a spot, the map displays an open spot in the form of a yellow bubble to help other drivers of the community find a spot.

 

The uniqueness of SpotAngels is that the all the parking information is crowdsourced.

“Our local community in LA helped build the map you currently see.” says Jardaneh.

Anyone can add or edit a parking spot on the map by sending a picture of parking signs through the app. For avid map contributors, they can join the SpotAngels Map Makers community (by reaching out to support@spotangels.com) and will be given access to an editor tool on the web that will enable them to map full neighborhoods.

SpotAngels is available on the App Store and Play Store and was previously featured by Apple and Google as “Waze for Parking” among the best apps of 2017 and 2018. The company is backed by the co-founder of Google Maps, the former Head of Google Street View and prominent investors from Silicon Valley.

 

 Parking Reservation Software Releases 2018 Parking Industry Research

Parking Reservation Software Releases 2018 Parking Industry Research 

 

 

 

Study reveals how much U.S. lags behind Europe in leveraging reservation technology, but indicates a major upgrade is underway.

Tampa, FL, December 11, 2018 – Leading parking management software provider, Parking Reservation Software, released a Parking Industry report which gathered data from U.S. Parking operators across multiple sectors. 

The study revealed that in the U.S. only 49 percent of all parking operations offer customers the convenience of being able to pre-book a parking reservation and only 35 percent can process reservations on their website. As a result, for the vast majority of operators, reservations account for less than 10% of their total business. This is a dramatic difference to major European markets/airports where parking reservations can account for well above 80% of total transactions. 

“The findings of our research confirm what we see happening in the industry,” says CEO Bill Plamondon. “The US Parking Industry is undergoing rapid change and adopting new technology to meet consumer demand. We see it in the number of new RFP’s looking for software systems that drive online reservations. In fact, major U.S. operators are upgrading both software and hardware to cash in on consumer demand. Those who don’t, will be left behind.” 

The research was drawn from parking management companies, large public facility operators, private operators, and other parking professionals. Data from the study reveals: 

  • • 53% believe rideshare firms have negatively impacted their parking business 
  • • For 67% of responders, parking reservations accounted for just 5% of total parking transactions 
  • • 49% accept reservations and 47% accept prepaid reservations 
  • • 83% have a Parking Access Revenue Control System (PARCS) installation, like gates, point of sale (POS), automated payment, etc. 
  • • 54% manage large operations of 5,000 or more spaces 
  • • 43% are considering upgrading their PARCS installation 
  • • 78% use Parking software to manage their operation 

For the operator, offering parking reservations improves cash flow and operational efficiency, creates marketing opportunities, and facilitates revenue management best practices such as variable pricing structures, demand pricing, and future demand projections. 

This study underscores the potential for parking reservation software to transform the U.S. Parking Industry as operators look to meet consumer demand for more parking options, convenient and simple ways to book reservations, and efficient parking processes. With the U.S. Parking Industry already in transition, the study projects even more significant changes over the next two to three years.

PARKCLOUD ACCELERATES ITALIAN MARKET GROWTH WITH PALERMO AIRPORT

PARKCLOUD ACCELERATES ITALIAN MARKET GROWTH WITH PALERMO AIRPORT

 

Building on the recent announcement that ParkCloud now holds on-site parking partnerships with Italy’s top five airports, the European online parking reservation leader has further expanded its growth within the Italian airport network with the addition of Italy’s ninth* largest airport – Palermo.

 

The newly agreed contract will enable ParkCloud to offer its 3 million registered users the option of reserving their parking at two of Palermo Airport’s on-site parking facilities.

Drivers parking up at both P1 and P2 car parks will now be able to streamline their travel itineraries, with the convenience that pre-booked parking offers, which in turn will enable Palermo Airport to better manage demand, as well benefit from an additional booking stream.

 

Both car parks are open air, securely monitored and situated directly in front of the terminal building, providing passengers with an accessible route to check-in

 

ParkCloud’s success across the Italian airport market has been particularly notable over the last 12 months, with its renewed partnership with Turin Airport and landmark deal with SEA Milan Airports bolstering its inventory of 28 Italian airports.

 

ParkCloud’s Commercial Director, Dr Valentina Moise, said: “It’s important for us as a b2c platform that we continue to expand our network and make further locations available for our customers. Adding popular tourist airports such as Palermo to our inventory, enables us to do just that, giving our Italian customers additional options and a more tailored booking experience.

“The Italian market has long-since embraced pre-bookable parking, and as customers continue to demand a more fluid travel experience, we see great potential to further develop services collaboratively with our partner operators in Italy.”

 

Palermo Airport – known also as Falcone–Borsellino – is located just 35km from Palermo, the capital city of the popular tourist island of Sicily.
