TEZ and T2 announce T2MobilePay powered by TEXT2PARK

 

 

 

App-free mobile payment solution puts a pay station in every customer’s hand, enhances their guest experience and generates more revenue for operators

 

 

 

 

Plano, TX – Oct. 01, 2020 – Industry leaders TEZ and T2 have partnered to deliver two best-in-class solutions that combine TEZ’s cutting-edge, app-free and contactless mobile payment platform, TEXT2PARK®, with T2’s robust Iris™ parking management software and renowned T2 Luke® Pay Stations.

 

Contactless technology plays a vital role in every aspect of the parking and mobility industry. Operators and owners of parking related real estate recognize they need to accelerate adoption of multiple payment options to ensure their operations are easily accessible. And they want their customers and data to remain their own.

The combined technology of MobilePay records all transaction data in a user-friendly system that enables complete control over and insight into daily parking activity and customer data, and also accounts for and reconciles existing third-party mobile app transactions. Customers appreciate an enhanced user experience that includes a powerful survey tool, two-way SMS-based text communication, and informative real-time public messages.

“In today’s market, generating revenue, offering end users touchless solutions, and owning customer data are of utmost importance to parking operations,” said Michael Hamilton, VP, Product Management for T2 Systems. “T2 is thrilled to partner with TEZ to check all three of these boxes for our customers with T2 MobilePay, further enhancing the value of the Iris platform.”

T2 MobilePay can be white labeled in the TEXT2PARK® transaction and digital receipt screens to promote individual locations, brands, and parking programs. The system can also be used to send real-time, geotargeted public messages and digital banner ads to end users, creating a brand-new monetization opportunity for operators and a more personalized guest experience for customers.

“The contactless revolution continues. Today’s dynamic business landscape demands flexibility, ease of use and multiple payment options. Imagine a pay station in your customer’s hand,” said Steve Resnick, Chief Revenue Officer at TEZ. “We did, and we believe we have created an unsurpassed data-driven value-proposition for operators, clients and customers alike. We are extremely excited to partner with T2 in delivering the industry’s most technology-forward, customer-friendly and accountable mobile solution available.”

TEZ: TEXT2PARK reinvents parking in Mexico

August 13, 2020

 

 

 

TEXT2PARK reinvents parking in Mexico

 

 

With COVID-19 Concerns, Residents and Visitors Will Have the Option to Pay for Parking online—without downloading a parking app

 

 

 

Plano, TX — Software developer TEZ announced TEXT2PARK, the cloud-based, app-free platform used to manage garage and lot parking, is now available in Mexico. Designed to effortlessly manage parking operations, operators get unprecedented control of their data. End users have a contactless experience: they text a code from the posted sign and pay online using their smartphones. Credit card information is tokenized, so parkers enter a card number only once the first time they park in any lot using TEXT2PARK. Adding time can be done remotely, which speeds up parking. Best of all, parkers don’t have to download another battery-hogging app.

This breakthrough parking platform was designed to work independently or in combination with SMS Valet, the popular software platform used by valet operators across the US, Mexico and Australia. Managers and owners can easily manage multiple lots remotely from a single dashboard, and get actionable, real-time data to develop business strategies. TEXT2PARK includes embedded enforcement tools and audit trail to track revenue and streamline operations.

“TEZ transformed valet parking operations in 2011, and we’re now reinventing how parkers pay for daily or monthly parking,” said Lily Barron, International Director, Latin America. “TEXT2PARK packs powerful tools into an elegant, easy-to-use system that scales to meet the needs of any parking operation in Mexico, whether it’s a managed lot, garage or street parking.”

 

TEXT2PARK represents years of software innovation:

Faster, enhanced customer service

  • Two-way texting for enhanced communications
  • Car and payment info tokenized
  • e-Validations and digital receipts
  • Auto notification that parking is about to expire

 

Advertising and Enforcement Tools

  • Lot Full Mapping & Wayfinding to only that operator’s locations
  • Embedded enforcement solution
  • Citation payments off the windshield (Bluetooth printers optional)
  • Customer Survey Tool delivering surveys as parkers are using the service

 

Easy Reporting and Tracking

  • Data-driven reports that can be exported or shared
  • Customer data generated and tracked by TEXT2PARK is owned by client, not TEZ

 

TEXT2PARK is only one of several cloud-based platforms that efficiently manage operations in parking and hospitality industries. Follow TEZ Mexico on LinkedIn: https://lnkd.in/e2zP6wg
