Solutions

Find the workflow that fits your facility.

ParkSense starts with open outdoor paid lots: operators running one or several sites, and the property teams behind retail and strip centers. The same platform, with edge processing on site, an operator view and structured events, also supports dealerships that need to find and account for vehicles.

Open outdoor lots first

Decision, observation, owner.

Paid surface lots, retail and strip centers, and owners running several sites start from the same structure: the call your team makes, the observation behind it and the person who owns it.

    Paid lot operators

Two paths

Same platform. Different questions.

Outdoor lots and retail centers need to understand how each area is used over the day. Dealerships, another model on the same platform, need to find and account for specific vehicles. ParkSense shapes the operator view, the events and the setup around each.

Side by side

How the two paths compare.

The same edge processing and operator experience, pointed at different units of attention: a space and how it is used, or a specific vehicle.

Outdoor parking and dealership workflows compared
Aspect 01Outdoor parking 02Dealerships
Core question How is each area being used, and is that changing? Where is this specific vehicle, and has it moved?
Unit of attention A zone or area: storefront row, surface parking bank, loading court, overflow An individual vehicle, by stock number or VIN
Everyday view Occupancy by zone, each count with its observed time and freshness Lot map with last observed locations and movement history
Typical events Zones awaiting observation; loading, overflow and after-hours checks set up for your site Lot moves, test drives out and back, after-hours activity
Who acts Parking operations leads, property managers, attendants and security leads Sales, lot and service staff; the on-call person after hours
Feeds into Staffing, signage, short-stay allocation, tenant conversations and owner updates Inventory records and the end-of-day routine
Works alongside Your payment, permit and security tools stay as they are; how observations reach them is agreed per site Your inventory records and after-hours procedures
Setup starts with A site walk and a zone map of outdoor rows, short-stay, loading and overflow areas A site walk and a zone map of front line, back lots, service and overflow

Common to both paths

  1. 01

    Edge processing on site

    Video is analyzed at the facility; the product works with structured events.

  2. 02

    One operator view

    Map, search, occupancy and events in a single place for the people running the site.

  3. 03

    Structured events

    Vehicle moves, occupancy observations and review items as clean records your processes can use.

  4. 04

    People decide

    Exceptions are routed to a named person, who chooses what happens next.

Mixed sites
