When it comes to running a car park, proper management is essential. From ANPR parking management systems park and pay by phone systems, there’s no one way to manage a car park. It’s for this reason that Countrywide Parking offers an array of parking solutions suited to all manner of settings and businesses. In spite of this diversity, one thing must remain when it comes to parking solutions, and this is clarity.
As far as car park solutions are concerned, clarity is absolutely imperative. Whether this is in regard to clear signage and markings or apparent payment policies, car park policies must completely lack ambiguity. Otherwise, drivers won’t readily understand the terms, and this will deter them from using the said car park.
Regardless of your car park management requirements, we offer a multitude of core services. Each of these is detailed below, so read on to discover more and select the best car park management solution for your car park.
ANPR
Automatic Number Plate Recognition, or ANPR parking systems, are among the most popular parking enforcement solutions. This is because ANPR acts as a virtual warden that monitors car parks all day every day in the absence of on-site staff. The beauty of ANPR is that it has minimal impact on its users and manual surveillance isn’t required. As a result, ANPR is the most streamlined of car park management systems, making it the simplest of options for managers and users alike.
Not only do all parties benefit from the simplicity of ANPR, but it also promises 24/7 support. Therefore, regardless of when it’s in use, there’s always someone on hand to help should it be required.
ANPR systems work by capturing a photo of the vehicle entering the car park and recording the registration and time of entry as it does so. Following this, the camera will check for an active white-list session or start timing the vehicle’s stay. Upon the vehicle leaving the car park, the camera will also record this and issue a PCN if any terms have been breached.
Pay And Display
Pay and display machines are something that most drivers are familiar with, as they’re quite a traditional form of parking payment. The premise of pay and display is simple, and these systems are applicable to all types of car parks. Whether it’s for businesses or councils, pay and display can be installed and used in all manner of industries.
This car park management solution is incredibly popular since constant surveillance isn’t required. Despite this, Countrywide Parking provides regular maintenance, cash collections, and ticket refills, so that your car park can run as smoothly as possible. This uptime and reliability are aided by our 24-hour helpline for each of our managed sites.
In addition to efficiency and transferability, we also focus on social responsibility, as demonstrated by the option of solar-powered parking display systems. This reduces your facility’s dependence on environmentally damaging power sources and increases the sustainability of your company. Similarly, users are able to pay via cash or card, allowing for ease of payment.
Pay By Phone
Pay by phone car parks adhere to a cashless payment system, which allows for quick and easy transactions. In order for a car park to succeed, they must offer cashless alternatives; otherwise, they’ll see a sharp decline in their usage. Carrying cash is now a thing of the past, and all car parks must adapt to this modern way of life.
In doing so, Countrywide Parking has partnered with the highest-rated cashless car parking app, whereby motorists can seamlessly pay for parking via their smartphone or an automated phone line. This removes the need for expensive payment terminals and allows leisure centres, retail parks, and hotels to implement an efficient pay by phone parking system.
Implementing a pay by phone system couldn’t be simpler, as we will provide and install the bespoke signage. This signage will detail the location ID and clear instructions about how motorists should go about making this payment. This payment system is then integrated with our back-office system, whereby the data gets fed to the wardens’ devices, so they can monitor parking payments.
Warden Patrols
Our warden patrol service can be tailored to suit the requirements of any car park. We can adjust the frequency, patrol times, and level of enforcement accordingly to manage your car park most appropriately. Our officers wear a full uniform and carry specialist ticketing equipment to assess vehicles and provide them with tickets where necessary.
As part of our warden patrol service, we also supply and install warning signage in order to avoid any breaches of terms. This signage is wholly audited and approved by the International Parking Community, so you can be sure that it adheres to all regulations.
