FAQ's

Parking enforcement is when landowners put rules in place in their car parks, and those rules are backed up by the solutions and knowledge of a car park enforcement provider. Enforcement covers multiple issues in a car park, from people overstaying or parking in specialised bays they shouldn’t be using, to motorists not paying for parking or using the car park but going elsewhere. These issues all take up space on car parks, creating congestion, queues and frustration that legitimate visitors shouldn’t have to deal with and businesses don’t necessarily have the time to handle themselves. Parkingeye helps businesses to protect their car park through its role as a BPA-approved operator. We use automatic number plate recognition (ANPR) technology to underpin our solutions to make sure they are accurate and effective against car park abuse. This technology acts as the foundation for everything we do.

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.

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.
