Parking at the supermarket at night
With digital parking space management from Peter Park , retailers can keep control of their parking spaces while drivers are parked at the supermarket outside business hours. The technology is simple: vehicle license plates are recorded by a license plate scanner at the entrance and exit in compliance with data protection regulations. Retailers manage the parking space in connected software.
Making profitable use of free parking spaces in the absence of parking space
At night in the city center: supermarket parking lots are yawningly empty, while there are hardly any parking spaces left on the roadside. Desperate residents drive in ever larger circles in search of a free parking space. Multiple use of parking spaces, for example at supermarkets or DIY stores, can provide a remedy.
Both parkers, retailers and residents benefit from this arrangement, as drivers no longer have to search for a free parking space, which saves unnecessary exhaust fumes. This relieves the burden on local residents. The supermarket operators open up an additional source of income with their offer.
The parking space is then ready for customers again the next morning. Thanks to modern parking apps and the Peter Park system, supermarket operators can easily introduce overnight parking and parkers can spontaneously book a free parking space if required.
How it works: modern license plate scanners instead of barriers, sensors and parking discs
The Peter Park system uses scanners at the entrance and exit to record the license plates of passing vehicles in compliance with data protection regulations and calculates their parking time. The company works together with well-known parking app providers. This means that drivers who want to use a free supermarket parking space at night or on Sundays can easily buy their parking permit via app by entering their license plate number.
License plate recognition is used to compare the vehicles actually parked with the parking authorizations. In this way, the Peter Park system checks whether only vehicles whose drivers have paid for the parking space are in the parking lot. It also monitors that the cars do not exceed the permitted parking period, i.e. that they only park outside the business hours of the adjacent supermarket, for example. This function can of course also be used during the day to ensure compliance with the maximum parking time without parking disks.
Offer more free parking spaces for customers with parking space monitoring
ContactThis is how it works:Additional income without effort: App parking at the supermarket
If supermarket operators make their parking spaces available to parkers at night for a fee, they not only relieve residents - who are also potential customers - of the burden of finding a parking space, they also generate additional income. This is particularly worthwhile for local suppliers in densely populated city centers, for whom vacant parking spaces are particularly expensive due to high prices per square meter. In the vicinity of these shopping facilities, there is often a lack of parking spaces for the constantly growing number of vehicles. The demand for such parking facilities should therefore be there.
With solutions such as the digital, barrier-free parking management system from Peter Park , retailers can tap into this new source of income without major investment, as hardly any hardware is required on the site. All that is required are cameras at the entrances and exits. This means that maintenance and servicing costs are also very low. Clearly structured software is available for managing the parking space, which parking space operators can also use to view analyses, for example on the utilization of their parking space.
Night-time supermarket parking benefits residents and retailers
Free parking spaces are in short supply, especially in inner-city residential areas at night and at weekends. Supermarket operators in these areas can easily help to eliminate this shortage by making their parking spaces available to parkers at night. With a digital, barrier-free parking management system such as the one from Peter Park , they always have an overview of their parking spaces and can manage them with minimal investment and generate additional income.
