A technological barrier: the parking industry in 2023

The parking industry dates back to the early-1900s, with early multi-storey car parks providing space for hundreds of vehicles, managed by on-site parking attendants.

Over a century later, not much has changed.

As an industry, it is archaic and slow to adopt new technologies. The use of payment apps is a sticking plaster that falls significantly short of offering a premium customer experience. Meanwhile, the rapid advance of Artificial Intelligence has transformational potential for the industry, but a reliance on outdated technology could see it falling behind comparable sectors in the AI revolution.

This will inevitably lead to increased frustration from users. So much of modern life is structured around slick digital interfaces that, in comparison, the need to manually pull tickets or collect an ever-expanding library of mobile apps seems like a throwback to a bygone era.

Car park operators are also disheartened by the industry’s lack of innovation. The use of outdated technology often leads to high operational costs, frequent equipment malfunctions and increased downtime, limiting the ability to optimise space usage and maximise revenue. Manual administrative tasks such as managing payments and issuing tickets can be time-consuming and prone to errors. And the lack of real-time reporting and analytical tools inhibit informed decision-making that could improve service offerings and operational efficiency.

For these reasons, we’ve made it our mission to bring the parking industry kicking and screaming into the digital age.
