FAQ's

We start by understanding your business, your challenges and your customers/genuine users before we do anything to ensure we present the right solution from our large inter-changeable portfolio.Every solution is bespoke, whether your site suits an in-store terminal to determine who’s spent money with you or would benefit from a pre-booking facility which matches vehicles on entry. Talk to us about your concerns, let’s go from there.

There’s nothing more important than reputation. We work closely with clients to understand who’s using their car park and what constitutes a ‘genuine’ user to create a solution to suit your operation perfectly. Prior to issuing any Parking Charge or Warning Notice, we conduct a 21-step audit which gives us an 82% ‘upheld’ rate at the Independent Appeals Service’s (POPLA) giving us the best record of the major operators. In rare instances where a customer is issued with a PCN, it should never be a battle to request a cancellation, although we’ll always offer advice on setting precedents for certain scenarios.

Yes, we do. Our internal automated network and application monitoring systems constantly check over 2,000 areas of our system, providing real-time alerting of every aspect of the platform to keep you covered. We supplement this with external third party monitoring, which provides a failover and alerting should a major event occur.

We’ve worked on and managed thousands of car parks, and no two are the same. That’s why, in addition to ANPR, we work hard to provide all of the flexible parking solutions and functionality to meet whatever needs you may have, including payment machines, handheld devices, pre-payment apps, real-time diagnostics, permit management systems, barriers and much, much more.

Installation, management, and ongoing maintenance can be completely free of charge. However, this is very much dependant on your car park which is why we send our expert sales team out to review your site to ensure our ANPR solution is a good fit for both you and Parkingeye.
