Your Parking Spaces Are Losing You Money (And AI Can Fix It)

Let’s talk about parking’s $35 billion opportunity. While property owners have modernized nearly every aspect of their buildings – from smart lobbies to premium amenities – parking remains stuck in the past. And it’s costing them more than they think.

Picture this: Your customers spend 17 frustrating hours each year hunting for parking spots and fumbling with payment machines. For EV drivers, the experience is even worse. The result? Properties are losing both direct parking revenue and the 140% boost in additional spending that comes from customers who start their visit on a positive note.

The good news? Just as Amazon revolutionized shopping and Airbnb transformed travel, parking is ready for its digital transformation moment. Imagine an AI-powered marketplace that connects directly to the apps your customers already use – from navigation to event ticketing. One that makes finding, booking, and paying for parking (and EV charging) effortless.

Let’s see how this works in real life. Picture a concert-goer heading to a venue in a busy entertainment district:

First Stop: Recommendations

As they’re buying concert tickets or pulling up directions, personalized AI-generated parking options from our proprietary recommendation engine automatically appear – complete with real-time pricing, availability, and EV charging status. No more circling blocks or hoping for the best.

Next Up: Easy Reservations

With a few taps, they’ve secured their spot using their preferred payment method. Property owners lock in revenue days or even months in advance, all without spending a dime on traditional advertising.

Arrival Made Simple: Instant Recognition

AI-powered cameras recognize their vehicle immediately, creating a truly frictionless entry experience while maintaining security—with customizable recognition settings that let customers opt in for enhanced Express Pay features. No tickets, no fuss.

Power Up: Seamless EV Charging

For EV drivers, reliable charging isn’t just an amenity – it’s a game-changer. Properties can optimize revenue while vehicles charge, creating an additional revenue stream.

The Final Touch: Smart Receipts

When they leave, payment processes automatically through their digital wallet. But here’s where it gets interesting: every transaction feeds our AI algorithms, making each future parking experience even smarter and more profitable.

This intelligent parking marketplace isn’t just transforming the driver experience – it’s creating a powerful new revenue engine for property owners. The technology is ready. The market is primed. The only question is: are you ready to lead this transformation?
