ANPRioT integrates cash and cashless payment options
Many car parks still require customers to obtain a ticket and then pay on exit – a system that is fraught with problems, from lost tickets to no change and a quickly growing queue of dissatisfied customers, and let’s not mention, the environmental impact of paper ticketing.
By leveraging the power of cloud-native technology and Artificial Intelligence, ANPRIoT is leading the charge to bring parking into the digital age. Customer behaviour and expectations have changed – people expect seamless, digital experiences – not the frustrating search for ticket machines, coins or to struggle against a weak mobile signal.
ANPRIoT is leading the way with its cutting-edge Frictionless Payments capability. This unique Frictionless Payments feature allows users to effortlessly pay for their parking by simply signing up once. When entering and exiting the car park, ANPRIoT’s AVR (Automatic Vehicle Recognition) technology recognises the vehicle and charges it automatically, eliminating queues, lost tickets, and the need to estimate parking duration.
While the digital world has seen an influx of app-based parking solutions, parking apps trade issues with pay machines. Faulty equipment and lost tickets are replaced by the struggle to find a mobile signal or the risk of running out of phone battery! Time spent looking for the pay machine has become the time-consuming wait for an app download. ANPRIoT’s Frictionless Payments (which do not require any app download) bypass these issues by making the payment process entirely hands-off for the user. Once signed up to the system, users can rest easy knowing that their parking charges are handled automatically.
However, ANPRIoT understands that not everyone is ready for a completely digital transition. Balancing the benefits of digital with the need for choice, ANPRIoT has seamlessly integrated both cash and cashless payment options. Their advanced pay machines accept cash, offer change, and are equipped with anti-jamming technology and coin recycling capabilities to reduce downtime and maintain security. All the ultra-reliable components are stress tested in the in-house lab.
ANPRIoT integrates AI and Internet of Things for efficient vehicle recognition and seamless automated payments, reducing manual intervention and error. It also encourages repeat parking and customer loyalty, generating increased income for ANPRIoT technology adopters – all with or without the need for cash payment terminals.
