Ticketless parking has become the next stage in the evolution of parking management & revenue capture solutions, with firms around the globe trying their hand at the tech.  Initially, ticketless parking aimed to minimize installation & maintenance costs, hedge against complications and frustrations, and reduce the number of staff members required to service the system.  However, these goals have become the baseline expectation of the 21st century system.  Ticketless, touchless parking is now held to new standards of excellence in the realms of accessibility, efficiency, and intuitive user interface.  Enter ZipBy: the ‘VIP’ mobile application & parking management ecosystem.

A subsidiary of TMA Group of Companies Limited, ZipBy is an integrated mobile application & management software designed to provide touchless access control for all parking environments internationally.  Through the use of unobtrusive technology, ZipBy can be integrated into any existing Parking System with additional modules related to Pre-Booking, Scan to Pay, Session Transfer, and various other customer-based functions.   ZipBy allows users to enter, exit, and pay for parking in a completely touchless, ticketless, and hands-free environment.

Through the mobile application, available for free download via App Store & Google Play, users are prompted to enter their billing & credit card information upon initial profile registration.  The user’s mobile device acts as a universal access pass, allowing him to bring that access to any vehicle, and eliminating the need for any license plate registration.

The mobile app runs ‘silently’ in the background with very little battery demand, and therefore does not require the user to manually open the application.  The device is recognized using ZipBy’s Bluetooth-based sensory system when drivers approach the ZipBy gate.  When the driver approaches the gate and the profile is recognized, the gate opens automatically within seconds.  The interaction is entirely hands-free.  Upon exiting the garage, the user is again recognized, and the gate opens.  Any parking fees associated with the interaction are then charged directly to the user’s credit card, and a receipt is emailed automatically.

ZipBy’s iconic ‘VIP experience’ also extends itself to garage owners & operators.  Car park owners are able to control their revenue earned from parking while receiving 100% revenue capture guaranteed, while driving down capital with cost-effective & efficient hardware.  The App can also be used as a credential, eliminating the need for access cards for staff.  The ability to “pre book” through ZipBy allows for improved yield management, improving analytics, payment security, and entry/exit volume during peak hours.

In 2016, ZipBy is thrilled to introduce the App & Management System to the North American market, providing the unprecedented VIP experience to drivers and managers alike.
