ZIPBY PARKING APP REMOVES LANGUAGE BARRIERS FOR VANCOUVER’S MULTI-CULTURAL COMMUNITY WITH NEW MULTI-LINGUAL SUPPORT FEATURE

 

 

 

VANCOUVER, BC CANADA: ZipBy, the popular parking app, announced today the launch of its multi-lingual support feature. In collaboration with EasyPark Canada, the new feature will allow all users to use the app with ease and convenience.

The largest city in British Columbia, Vancouver has a culturally diverse community. It also has the largest Chinese community in Canada. ZipBy now supports these communities. Vancouver is the third largest Chinatown in North America, behind New York and San Francisco and the app will be promoted there and to the wider community.

EasyPark’s CEO Nigel Bullers stated that “this new feature will not only benefit local drivers but also provincial and overseas visitors who will be able to focus on their destination instead of worrying about paying for parking at pay stations, which do not have language support features.   Using Mobiles apps like ZipBy is a more sustainable way to pay for parking, this new feature will enable more people to access mobile payments in their language. “

“This collaboration with EasyPark, reinforces ZipBy’s commitment to providing drivers with the best possible parking experience.” Said Shirley Rodriguez, President of ZipBy.   “We are excited to launch multi languages, which we believe will significantly enhance the experience of our non-English speaking users. Our aim is to make parking as hassle-free and convenient as possible for everyone, regardless of their language. “

The new multi-lingual feature of ZipBy currently supports several languages, including Simplified and Traditional Chinese, English, French, Vietnamese, German, and Spanish, , with more languages to be added soon. “Making the ZipBy app easy and frictionless is at the core of our design efforts” said John Cowley Vice President of sales at ZipBy.  “The app will automatically default to the language selected on the user’s phone, making it even more convenient for non-English speakers to use the app, without the need to apply settings or configure anything.”

The new feature is now available to all users globally by updating the app to the latest version.

ZipBy launches automatic gated off-street site at Lot 19 EasyPark in Vancouver 

April 14, 2023

 

 

ZipBy launches automatic gated off-street site at Lot 19 EasyPark in Vancouver 

 

 

Pompano Beach, FL, April 13, 2023:  ZipBy and EasyPark have collaborated to launch automatic payment and gate entry parking at Lot 19 @ 900 West Cordova St, Vancouver BC, Canada. ZipBy’s technology enables drivers to enter the parking lot through the app and exit automatically without the need to touch their cellphone or wind down the window. If there is a parking fee it is charged to their credit card, and a receipt is emailed to them, eliminating the need to wait in line at the pay station. 

“The benefits of this partnership are numerous: a faster and easier user experience, increased turnover with reduced queuing, savings on administration, hardware, and consumer costs, and 100% revenue capture.” Says ZipBy President Shirley Rodriguez. “As a leader in parking technology, ZipBy has already been offering drivers at Harvard University in Boston, and Grant MacEwan University in Alberta this same ticketless, wireless Bluetooth experience. With this latest launch, drivers in Vancouver can now have the same option, we are pleased that EasyPark are the first to launch in Vancouver.” 

EasyPark’s CEO Nigel Bullers says ‘The first time I drove through a gated lot with ZipBy, I knew that we had to bring this experience to Vancouver. The gate opened without touching my cell phone as I approached. The product is invisible, you simply drive in and out. Everything happens in the background, just like magic. We have been searching for a gated parking solution for over 7 years and nothing comes close to what ZipBy can deliver. We are a long-standing member of BC Tech Association www.wearebctech.com, and that is no coincidence, Over the past few years we have been inspired to search for ways to use technology to improve the lives of drivers with an eye on quick, seamless, and safe solutions. We have installed several LPR (license Plate Recognition) systems in garages, and they help to some extent, however they all need drivers to do some manual process, and it all falls apart when drivers are in a different vehicle. The ZipBy solution using the driver’s phone, ensures that entry and payment are all seamless, and safer than any other method because the driver doesn’t touch the phone or the parking equipment while operating the vehicle. 

“Driver safety and sustainable solutions are really important to both our clients and their customers” says Gary Khor V.P. of technology and I.T. “ZipBy is the safest way for people to enter a garage, and we remove the need to line up at a pay station. We also eliminate the need for paper and tickets and the wear and tear that comes with paper.” 

“A really important consideration as we searched for a solution like this was that we would not have to have two systems for the customer” says Ravinder Bains, Director of client services.” We did not want to have customers use one system to enter gated lots and then another system when parking at open lots, beaches, parks etc. With ZipBy drivers get the best of both worlds – a Bluetooth, wireless hands-free solution at a gate, and the same app can be used to make payments on our other 150 lots around the city. To help promote this new solution, customers get 10% off the price of parking at Lot 19, and most other lots around the city also have up to 10% off. We are looking forward to rolling out more gated sites with ZipBy to provide a truly contactless experience for EasyPark customers.” 

This launch is the first of many gated sites to come for ZipBy and EasyPark.

ZipBy, a global leader in parking technology, today announced that in partnership with EasyPark, they are donating $3,687.00 to the Vancouver Food Bank, which was raised by a community give-back program to donate $1 from every parking transaction made through the ZipBy mobile app to the Greater Vancouver Food Bank.

The promotion ran through the holiday period from December 15th through February 2nd,.   The promotion was the brainchild of Shirley Rodriguez, President of ZipBy.  “The promotion was done in conjunction with the launching of the ZipBy app in Vancouver with EasyPark.  Whenever we launch into a market, we look for ways to support the community, we simply asked EasyPark who needed the support the most in Vancouver, and they quickly said the Vancouver Food Bank.”  Said Shirley.   “We are happy with the launch and the success of the fundraising and appreciate the people in Vancouver who supported this initiative, we will likely do another program later this year.”   

Ravinder Bains, Director, Client Services at EasyPark said “we were really excited about the launch and the giveback promotion; it was one of the reasons that we selected ZipBy as a partner in mobile payments because of their long history of care for the communities that they conduct business in. We also are excited about future developments with ZipBy, coming to this spring we will pilot a project where the Driver of a car can simply drive into a gated lot; gates will magically open and a parking session will start by simply having the ZipBy app, so truly frictionless parking.”

The ZipBy app is accepted at all EasyPark parking lots, and in addition, many of the EasyPark lots are also offering customers a 10% discount when using the ZipBy app. While discounts are not available at all lots, the app can be used at lots around the city, including all Vancouver Park Board lots and CMHC Granville Island. During this promotional period, ZipBy and EasyPark donated $1 from every ZipBy mobile app transaction to the Greater Vancouver Food Bank.

The partnership between ZipBy and EasyPark is another step towards both companies’ commitment to our community and sustainability goals. This initiative supports the City of Vancouver’s Transportation 2040 strategic vision for our city and further supports the City of Vancouver’s Climate Emergency Action Plan.
