What to look for when choosing a parking management provider

Making your choice as to who you appoint to manage parking on your developments or car parks is not always easy, but it is very important to make a considered decision and the right choice.

Aside from the services you are looking for, it is important to factor in who the company are and what they stand for. So here is what to look for when appointing a provider of parking management services:

is for Solutions

The most simple solutions are often the most effective. After all, it is about your customers and their experience when parking. So the more convenient the solution and the easier it can be delivered to the end user, the better.

is for Integrity

It is important to understand the parking provider’s integrity. Do they put your customers first above all else, or is it something they just say to win the business? A company that has the right integrity in what they say and what they do is fundamental for long term relationships, and integral to making your choice.

is for Management

It is all well and good that any parking issues are resolved properly and swiftly, but what does the ongoing management of the parking service look like? Having an effective management service and support will help maintain efficient parking over time, meaning you don’t have the hassle and ‘parking headache’, and can leave the parking management to the parking provider, as should be the case.

is for Professionalism

Just because it is parking, it doesn’t mean that the parking provider shouldn’t be professional in their approach to providing great solutions, management and service. By working in an open and transparent way, you will know if your choice of parking provider is correct in the professionalism they provide you. This should be with verbal, written or in person communication at all times.

is for Learning

If any parking provider tells you they know it all, well… they don’t! It is important to understand that a willingness to learn will improve everything they do, and in turn they can pass on that new knowledge and experience to provide even better services and solutions. Learning from colleagues, peers, competition and each other is only healthy, to strive to be the very best in what they do.

is for Evolution

The world of private parking never stands still. A parking provider should look to adapt, be willing to change and evolve to be at the forefront of parking management as times change. Evolution is a natural process, which should be embraced.
