Airports

Background

 

Airports no longer just have a pay on foot car park close to the terminal and a long stay car park away from the airport. Airports are now small cities with complex infrastructure and even more complex parking requirements.

The demand from customers to prebook, from taxi companies to drop off at the terminal and the desire to use digital payment solutions has increased over the last 5 years. Providing multiple parking and multiple payment options together with pressure on every business to provide EV charging usually means multiple providers with little integration.

What is required is a fully integrated parking ecosystem ready for parking now, and ready for parking in the future.

Solution

Our airport solution enables you to facilitate every parking need your customer could require. Out of airport long stay, short stay, drop off, taxis and everything in between. With our solution you can utilise freeflow for full barrier less parking as well as barriered parking for total revenue protection.

Combine standard physical payment solutions with prebooking, autopay and mobile payments all on the same solution. Add in fully integrated EV charging for park and charge on the same ticket and parking guidance for efficient parking navigation.

All the customer focused parking solutions will be managed by our web based, available anywhere, parking control solution for complete visibility of your estate. Our parking insights solution will then layer analytics into your business.

Airports are large, complex ecosystems that require bespoke solutions. Working with our professional services, all your requirements can be designed and deployed to ensure your customers have the ultimate parking experience.
