Parking

Digital parking and payments experience 
The challenge for car parking operators

Australian planners and councils are increasingly under pressure to fix the problem of car parking, particularly in Australian cities and other busy urban areas. Keeping cities moving and providing accessible and connected spaces is challenging with planners working on long term solutions. One of the pressing challenges is providing parking payments systems that deliver flexibility and simplicity for users while reducing costs of implementation and ongoing support for councils.

Why Booop?

Booop’s Scan. Pay. Go parking is a well designed, seamless and intuitive process for users and operators. Without the need to download apps or use meters to park, users simply scan the QR code displayed on site to launch the web application. On their return, they simply end their parking period, pay and drive away with a digital receipt sent to their phone.

Features
  • No apps or meters required, one provider, one customisable system. 
  • No user accounts and passwords, no premium services with hidden charges.
  • Intuitive user process, simply Scan. Pay. Go.
  • No payment re-processing by intermediaries, payments are received directly by councils and parking providers.
  • Ability to offer discount codes to users (e.g. promotions, permits). 
  • Ability for variable pricing based on time/demand. 
  • Ability for integration with other systems including enforcement tools. 
  • User notifications (e.g. parking duration reminders). 
  • Useful information (e.g. availability indicators) to allow users to pre-plan parking.
  • Instant digital receipts. 
  • Detailed data and analytics available to the parking provider.
Benefits 
  • Dramatically improved and simpler user experience. Without accounts, passwords, apps or the need to find a kiosk/meter (that may need repairs), users can simply park, Booop and be on their way. With parking duration reminders, pre-planning and an instant payment/receipts process, a far simpler parking process means greater user compliance.
  • Significant cost savings on infrastructure costs, hardware servicing, repairs and maintenance with one point of system service delivery.
  • Reduced reputational risk and greater data control and security for the parking provider compared with using third party apps that control account and personal data and user payment information.
  • Easily scalable to meet growing demands for parking in busy regions without incremental infrastructure cost.
  • Data analytics and heat mapping means providers have access to user based trend data to improve planning and space allocation to suit user parking needs.
  • Increased revenue opportunities with discounts and variable/demand pricing. 
  • Compliance, privacy and data-protection focused service while Booop provides the opportunity to engage directly with users to provide notifications and offers.
