Increased Revenue and Cost Savings Opportunities for Parking Programs

Agencies leverage IPS digital payment technologies and support services to optimize parking programs.

Data Management System: The IPS parking management software enables digital payment trend reporting and insights that drive demand-based rate structures that can increase revenue. Agencies can integrate their entire parking network, which can support complete data aggregation, including additional third-party mobile apps and digital payment platforms alongside IPS.
Payment Processing Services: IPS offers payment processing services as well as an IPS-exclusive program that saves customers up to 35% on their monthly merchant fees. This can mean a savings of hundreds, thousands, or tens of thousands of dollars each month based on the number of regulated debit card transactions.

IPMI conference attendees and the press are invited to booth 1019 for a guided demonstration of the breadth of digital payment solutions offered as part of the IPS Fully Integrated Smart Parking Ecosystem.

Says Randall: “Nearly two decades ago, we introduced the industry’s first single-space parking meter to accept credit cards, transforming parking management. As customer preferences expand into a variety of digital payment channels, IPS will continue to be at the forefront by offering our customers all of these options in an integrated Smart Parking technology portfolio. Our goal is to continue our legacy of innovation to drive speed, convenience, and consumer choices to achieve a more frictionless parking experience.”
