Integrating airport parking with reservation platforms is a crucial step toward automating customer service and improving parking space management efficiency. With modern technological solutions, it is possible to eliminate financial fraud, remove the need for manual reservation verification, and speed up both entry and exit processes.
Why integrate parking with reservation systems?
- Automated customer service – reservations from platforms like Parklot, ParkVia, NextPark, or Parkingi.pl can be synchronized with an access control system, eliminating the need for manual reservation confirmation.
- Faster customer experience – all it takes is one QR code reader at the entrance and two ANPR cameras recognizing license plates. The driver scans their code, the camera logs the vehicle, and upon exit, the system automatically recognizes the plate and opens the barrier, requiring no additional action.
- Fewer errors – eliminates issues related to manual data entry and human mistakes.
- Greater convenience for customers – automated reservation confirmations, the ability to extend parking time online, and seamless payment options enhance user experience.
How to integrate airport parking with reservation portals?
- Choose the right system – opt for a platform that supports hourly reservations and access control, such as ParkCashOS.
- Real-time data synchronization – each reservation is instantly updated in the local parking system, allowing customers to arrive and be recognized automatically via QR code scanning or ANPR cameras without employee intervention.
- Install QR code readers and/or ANPR cameras – ANPR camera installation is an investment, but it enables fully automatic entry and exit, eliminating the need for staff involvement.
- Automated SMS/email notifications – notify customers about their reservation details, remaining parking time, and provide an online extension option, especially useful for delayed flights.
- Optional integration with exit payments – allows customers to pay for extended stays at exit points.
Benefits for parking lot owners
- Cost optimization – fewer manual operations mean lower labor costs.
- Focus on customer transport – employees can focus on shuttle services instead of manually handling entry and exit procedures.
- Better space utilization – real-time updates ensure efficient parking spot allocation.
- No need for manual reservation verification – seamless automation removes unnecessary workload.
- Fleet management integration – potential integration with shuttle bus management systems.
Integrating your parking facility with reservation portals is an investment that pays off quickly, boosting automation and customer convenience.
