Is Zatpermit right for your council or business?

Your community, customers or staff need easy-to-use digital parking permits ASAP

Public service organisations and private sector Car Park Operators can issue short-term or long-term parking permits to staff, allows them to provide staff and visitor parking at sites such as an office complex or university campus with or without charge.

Councils can also issue residents with visitor parking permits. Residents may be able to apply for guest permits for household visitors. The number of these allowed per household is usually limited by councils. Traditional visitor permits are paper scratchcards which can be used once per visit. When these are used up, the resident can purchase more. Parking permit management software removes the need to issue paper-based permits by offering digital permits instead.

You need to reduce manual tasks with a future-proof system

• Improve customer service with self-service parking permit web portals.
• Improve security when integrated with ANPR cameras, enabling unauthorised vehicles to be identified and issued penalties if necessary.
• Easily configure business rules such as vehicle inclusion/exclusion lists.
• Enable flexible price setting by providing analysis of occupancy and usage data.
• Reduce manual tasks by automating the permit application questionnaires and approval processes.
• Automate permit payments by integrating multiple payment card providers and automated voice payment systems.

The latest digital parking permit solutions make your life much easier by automating many of the processes that weren’t possible with older systems. Zatpermit has the flexibility to integrate with your existing back-office systems and existing printer and camera hardware. Our highly configurable parking permit system can future-proof your parking operations.

You want to move on from paper based permit schemes

Paper based permits can be lost or damaged, and permit teams have to handle requests for replacements while ensuring eligibility. Another issue is ensuring ex-staff parking permits are returned when they leave the organisation. Similarly, new permits must be issued to new staff. This is particularly important if permits are not registered to specific vehicles.

Monitoring vehicles in a permit-managed area typically relies on enforcement staff checking vehicles have valid permits. If not, staff may need to issue tickets or organise vehicle removal. These tasks need the operator to employ full-time staff to patrol parking areas.

You need a fast, self-serve applications system

The permit application process is lengthy when done manually. Zatpermit automates multiple permit management processes.

Digital permit application questionnaires can be built easily from standard questions with score weighting rules. These rule-based questions enable automated answer scoring and application approval. A modern parking permit system can process application forms automatically and, by applying rules to the application data, can automatically approve or decline a permit application. Permit application automation minimises the number of manual interventions needed to issue permits and reduces delays in application processing. Permit automation can also provide reporting data and the ability to audit every application.

You want flexibility with payment providers

Automating the process of taking permit applications and renewal payments improves efficiency and reduces costs. Some parking permit systems integrate with a wide range of payment providers giving the operator choice of payment providers which they can choose based on the optimum transaction charges. Offering multiple payment options also improves the service operators can provide to their customers. 

You want to empower your staff and compliance patrols

Unity5’s Parking Permit Management System integrates with technology to make life easier.

Permit system integrations

When integrated with other parking technologies, permit management systems can automate access control and contravention enforcement. Integrated ANPR and barrier systems can be used to automate vehicle entry and exits of parking sites. 

Mobile permit management

Mobile technology can also be implemented to support permit management operations. On-foot enforcement staff can be given mobile apps with built-in number plate recognition allowing them to automatically identify permitted vehicles. Unity5’s Zatmobile apps with real-time number plate recognition can flag unauthorised vehicles and issue penalties if necessary.
