What is complete car park management?

Car parks have an incredible amount of untapped potential.

Making the most of each site is a delicate balance of various solutions. For a site to be truly successful and realise its value, there needs to be effective management and everything that a car park needs to thrive delivered in one place.

We call this Complete Car Park Management, the process of supporting a site through the right mix of expertise, solutions, and ongoing support.

How do you decide on the right solutions?

Your car park is defined by several different factors:

Its size

Business sector

The problems the site faces

The area it’s in

These all impact the potential solutions your site could benefit from and the impact they could have.

This is where enlisting the help of a car park management expert pays off. For example, say your site is a medium sized car park for a school and the issues it faces are abuse restricting space and a need to help the school generate more revenue.

The solutions that are put in place to solve this sites’ problems and support the school going forward could be completely different to the ones in place for a large multistorey car park near a shopping centre.

ANPR enables many solutions, not just the ones that enforce the rules on a site either. While ANPR can help to cut down abuse and protect a car park, for our example school it could also support a permit system that teachers, support staff and students can make use of during term time. ANPR also enables revenue generating services such as pre-booking and paid parking. These could be used to allow the school to make use of its available spaces outside of term-time or during evenings and weekends. Perfect for generating additional revenue for the site.

Support at every stage of the journey

The right mix of solutions isn’t enough, for a car park to truly thrive the management and planning needs to support a site through every stage of its journey.

The right management provider will listen to a business, understanding not only its specific requirements and issues, but also its future goals before deciding on and implementing the right mix of solutions. There’s a degree of creative problem solving involved, that comes from understanding that no two sites are the same, then creating a bespoke solution that is tailored to specific needs.

Effective management will help businesses communicate the changes to their sites to their staff and the public as well as providing ongoing optimisation and support, so a car park delivers on its potential.

Car park management doesn’t sit still

Complete car park management means keeping an eye on what comes next. Car parks are constantly evolving, the need to adapt to the rise in EV charging is a prime example.

It’s important to monitor emerging trends, developing technology, and changing customer needs. This helps businesses to see how car parks are going to develop over time.

Monitoring like this leads to the creation of fresh solutions, ways of working and means of supporting a car park. Effective management then communicates these changes to sites, helping them to stay effective as customer requirements change.
