Unity5: Digital Patrolling with Permits, Cashless, and Kiosks

Digital Patrolling with Permits, Cashless, and Kiosks

Parking enforcement is not just about monitoring cars, it’s about making sure that all the moving parts of a parking system work in harmony. Digital patrolling does just that by integrating various systems like permits, cashless payments, and kiosks. Together, they help ensure a seamless and efficient parking experience that’s both effective and user-friendly.

Managing Permits with Digital Patrolling

Parking permits are one of the most fundamental aspects of parking compliance. For private parking areas, such as corporate offices, university campuses, or residential spaces, permits are often required to ensure that only authorised vehicles are allowed to park in specific areas.

The Cashless Experience

Cashless payments are another key component of modern parking systems. Rather than dealing with cash or even cards, many modern parking facilities now offer cashless solutions through mobile apps or online portals. Unity5’s systems integrate with these technologies to allow drivers to pay for their parking seamlessly.

Cashless parking makes it easier for users to pay for short-term parking, reserve spaces in advance, or even extend their stay remotely, all without needing to carry cash or visit a physical payment machine.

Zatpark Kiosk App: The Digital Check-in Hub

The Zatpark Kiosk App platform further enhances the digital patrolling experience. This self-service check-in station is particularly useful for areas like visitor bays, where non-regular users need access. Visitors can check in at the kiosk, which not only records their information but also grants them access to specific bays for a designated period. This feature ensures that only the correct individuals are using the designated spaces, without requiring manual oversight from parking staff.

Bringing It All Together

When these components are integrated into a unified system, you get a seamless digital patrolling experience. The ANPR cameras capture vehicle details, the cashless system handles payments, and the Zatpark Kiosk App manages temporary users. All of this data is brought together in one place, providing a comprehensive view of parking activity in real time.

This integration leads to more efficient enforcement, fewer violations, and a better experience for users and operators alike. For example, an employee who drives into a work car park with a valid permit can seamlessly enter the lot, park in a designated space, and pay for their spot without any hassle. At the same time, enforcement officers can focus on violations rather than manually checking every vehicle.

Digital patrolling with permits, cashless payments, and kiosks creates an efficient, streamlined parking system. By automating many of the processes that traditionally require manual intervention, digital patrolling enhances both compliance and convenience, making it the future of modern parking management.
