BISS: Smarter Exit Payments for Busy Urban Parking Locations

Zunda Towers, Radisson Blu Hotel & Spa Daugava, and Novira Plaza are well-known destinations in Riga, serving office tenants, hotel guests, business visitors, and everyday drivers. In high-traffic locations like these, parking needs to be fast, intuitive, and efficient.

Building on the earlier cooperation between Snabb and BISS at Origo shopping centre, this project expands pay-on-exit functionality across multiple sites in Riga, focusing on simplifying the final stage of the parking journey.

With pay-on-exit terminals installed at the barrier, drivers can settle parking fees immediately before leaving. This eliminates the need for separate payment machines or additional steps after reaching the exit.

The result is a smoother departure process, improved traffic flow, and reduced delays in busy urban environments.

Project Overview

In February and early March 2026, BISS delivered and installed five NGP-Mini pay-on-exit terminals for Snabb parking locations across Riga, including Zunda Towers, Radisson Blu Hotel & Spa Daugava, and Novira Plaza.

This project represents the continued development of seamless parking infrastructure in Riga, further expanding the pay-on-exit approach developed by Snabb and BISS and contributing to a more connected parking experience across multiple locations.

The solution enables drivers to complete payments directly at the exit barrier using cashless bank card transactions, supported by electronic receipts. Designed for high-traffic urban environments, the terminals provide a fast and intuitive user experience while supporting efficient and reliable day-to-day parking operations.

From an operational perspective, the implementation helps reduce congestion at peak times and minimizes the need for additional on-site infrastructure, such as standalone payment machines. This allows parking operators to optimize space and streamline the overall parking flow.

By allowing payments at the point of exit, the system reduces friction, minimizes unnecessary interactions, and helps maintain steady vehicle flow—improving convenience for both frequent users and first-time visitors.

Benefits

• More convenient payment experience for drivers: Drivers can pay for parking directly at the exit barrier without leaving the car, making the final step of the parking journey faster and easier.
• Fewer unnecessary steps before exiting: There is no need to search for a payment machine elsewhere in the parking area or return after already reaching the barrier, which saves time and reduces friction.
• Smoother vehicle flow at busy locations: Immediate payment at the exit helps reduce interruptions and supports more efficient traffic movement in high-demand parking sites.
• Modern and user-friendly payment process: Cashless card payments and electronic receipts create a simple, intuitive, and up-to-date parking experience.
• Strong fit for premium urban environments: The compact terminals combine functionality, speed, and design in a way that supports the quality standards of locations such as Zunda Towers, Radisson Blu Hotel & Spa Daugava, and Novira Plaza.

Impact and Results

• Improved driver convenience: Drivers now benefit from a faster and more seamless payment experience, with the ability to pay at the exit barrier without leaving the vehicle.
• More efficient exit process: The pay-on-exit solution reduces delays at the final stage of the parking journey by removing the need to locate a separate payment machine before leaving.
• Better fit for high-traffic urban locations: At Zunda Towers, Radisson Blu Hotel & Spa Daugava, and Novira Plaza, the new setup supports the pace and expectations of busy parking environments where speed, simplicity, and ease of use are essential.
• Modernized parking payment experience: The introduction of compact pay-on-exit terminals with card payments and electronic receipts brings a more digital, user-friendly approach to parking operations.
• Expanded pay-on-exit footprint in Riga: With this implementation, Snabb and BISS have further extended the availability of pay-on-exit parking solutions in Riga, continuing the development of more convenient urban parking infrastructure.
