APT SKIDATA LAUNCHES NEXT GENERATION IN INTEGRATED PARKING MANAGEMENT TECHNOLOGY

APT SkiData has taken its thought-leadership in parking management solutions a step further with the launch of Plato Pay, the next generation in integrated parking management technology that makes barrier-less systems a reality and gives businesses the ability to create a customer-friendly parking experience tailored to meet their specific needs and environment.

Plato Pay is in effect a low cost modular concept that enables users of entry-level parking systems to extend and expand with additional hardware and services suitable for local conditions, according to APT SkiData's Managing Director, Sean Dunstan: “Traditionally if you wanted to make your parking asset generate income for your business you had to choose either a ‘pay and display' or ‘pay on foot' parking system, with limited ability to increase revenue streams outside of parking,” he says.

“Today, a combination of automatic number plate recognition (ANPR) technology, a new multi-function information/payment ‘kiosk', with our Plato Pay software suite takes the concept of parking and revenue management to new heights, with almost limitless possibilities for future expansion and the ability to open additional business sales channels e.g. bus ticketing in a park and ride facility or cinema reservations in a hotel environment.

“Plato Pay offers a choice of payment mediums – web, mobile, cash or card and payment for parking can be made either before or after the stay, giving customers complete flexibility. In addition the car park operator has full access to all the data required for managing the car park effectively and for handling non-paying offenders,” he concludes.
