Riverty: Parking Without Barriers - Secure Payment

Free Flow Parking stands for maximum convenience – parking without barriers, without tickets, without waiting. But how can this digital experience be financed if customers simply drive on without paying? Hanauer Parkhaus GmbH, together with Riverty, demonstrates how receivables management enables the transition to smart parking management – customer-centric, legally compliant, and efficient.

Innovation Needs Secure Payment Processes

With the introduction of barrier-free parking in two parking garages (Kinopolis 1 & 2), Hanauer Parkhaus GmbH embarked on a journey into the future of parking in 2024. However, the absence of physical barriers creates a new risk: some users might test the system or forget to pay.

For HPG, this meant:

• Potential revenue losses due to non-payers
• High manual effort required to track open parking transactions
• Lack of internal know-how for identifying vehicle owners

Previously, the company relied on classic parking garages with barrier operation – a system that works reliably, but significantly limits digital transformation and the desired user experience.

HPG quickly realized that for the free-flow concept to work, the payment processes had to be equally modern, efficient, and legally compliant. This required an experienced partner who could integrate and automate receivables management from the outset.

Holistic Receivables Management – Automated, Legally Compliant, Integrated

Together with Riverty, HPG developed a fully integrated receivables management system that is seamlessly integrated into the parking system.

Open parking transactions are automatically transmitted to Riverty via Skidata's API interface – including vehicle registration number and payment status.

This ensures the economic viability of free-flow parking from the outset.

Advantages at a glance:

• Automatic KBA owner identification for unpaid parking transactions
• Debt collection process with clear deadlines and consumer-friendly communication
• Professional debt collection that combines fairness and efficiency
• API integration for error-free, data protection-compliant processes
• Relieving the team through complete automation

The result: maximum convenience for customers with full payment security for the operator.

Efficient Processes and Stable Revenues

Shortly after the launch, it became clear how smoothly and efficiently the concept works:

• Seamless operation of the barrier-free parking garages
• Stable revenue through automated payment processes
• Relieving the team through integrated processes
• Positive feedback from customers and city administration

Based on these successes, HPG also converted the Nürnberger Straße parking garage to free-flow parking with Riverty in August 2025 – further projects are already in the planning stages.

"Thanks to Riverty, we were able to offer barrier-free parking without risking any loss of revenue. Our receivables management is now fully automated – this relieves the burden on our team and ensures satisfied customers." Erkan Celik, Commercial Director, Hanauer Parken GmbH.
