Gateless Parking vs. Gated Parking
Gated Parking
Gated parking is the legacy approach for managing parking assets. Historically, on-site personal were required to provide oversite. Technology has enabled a more streamlined gated experience which allows for reduced overhead costs.
Why use gates instead of gateless solutions?
A parking lot owner may consider gates if they have very limited spaces which are dedicated for specific parkers. Gates also provide a level of perceived security for lots which otherwise unattainable unattainable in gateless environments.

Gateless Parking
Gateless parking, utilizing QR codes strategically placed throughout the parking asset, has many benefits over gated solutions. Parkers have easy in and out access and you never have to worry about gates going down, which could negatively impact your revenue. Between cost savings, reduced maintenance, no on-site personnel oversite required, and ease of use for parkers, we typically recommend gateless solutions.
Why use gateless solutions instead of gates?
Gateless parking offers many benefits. First, undisrupted flow of traffic if a user struggles to make payment at the terminal. No initial costs and no ongoing maintenance fees. With enforcement, gateless environment revenue can match revenue from gated environments, without the added headache of ongoing maintenance and unknown CAPEX expenditures.

QR Based Transactions
Gated or Gateless, QR codes are at the forefront of our technology. Parkers arrive, scan a QR code to start their session, pay, then depart. While there are minor nuances in a gated scenario, the base technology remains largely unchanged.
Permit Parking
Our permit platform simplifies monthly parker management. With automatic payment collection, multiple ways to pay, and easy customizations for your parkers, our permit parking platform makes revenue obtainment easy.
Enforcement
Enforcement in a gateless parking environment is essential for ensuring compliance with posted parking rules. There are two types of enforcement: Manual and Automated License Plate Recognition (ALPR).
Manual Enforcement uses an Android device and software to allow staff to scan license plates and verify compliance (such as transient payments, monthly parking, or reservations). If non-compliance is detected, staff can issue citations using a provided printer. While effective for “soft” enforcement, manual methods leave room for non-compliance, which can impact parking revenue.
Automated License Plate Recognition (ALPR) provides a more stringent solution. Cameras placed throughout the parking area automatically scan license plates to identify non-compliant parkers. ALPR data not only enables efficient citation issuance but also helps in adjusting parking rates dynamically based on demand, among other insights. This approach ensures a higher level of compliance and operational efficiency.
