Get My Parking and PCI Partner Up to Create a Cutting-Edge Parking Ecosystem3 min read
We are pleased to announce an exciting new partnership with Parking Concepts Inc. (PCI), an established name in the world of parking, with the launch of Breeze by PCI, a mobile platform that lets users find, use and pay for parking services. This collaboration marks a significant milestone in revolutionizing the parking experience for PCI’s customers by making digitized parking more accessible, cost-effective, and easy to set up.
The partnership brings together Get My Parking’s state-of-the-art white-labeled parking solutions and PCI’s innovative and high-quality services across an extensive portfolio of parking locations. The result is a tailor-made parking ecosystem called Breeze, seamlessly integrated with PCI’s brand. It provides a user-friendly platform for consumers to find and navigate to their locations within the network.
It’s an exciting time for parking operators looking to future-proof their traditional parking lots without spending excessive capital on new equipment. The Breeze ecosystem is perfect for asset owners looking for a quick, pocket-friendly upgrade as the platform retrofits seamlessly with existing hardware to create a lightning-fast parking experience enhanced with AI-powered license plate matching.
Breeze aims to provide a hands-on parking experience where parkers may drive in and out without pulling a ticket. Advanced LPR cameras read the license plates from afar, opening the gates instantly. With AI-assisted license plate matching, the session starts on its own upon entry and ends at departure. Breeze also has locations where you may tap a credit card at the entry to start a session and tap the card on the way out to pay instantly.
Walk-ins can scan a QR code inside the location to add a card to the session – registered users can skip this step altogether. The payment is deducted automatically from the card on file – ticketless, cashless, and simple.
In addition to parking services, the platform offers a suite of value-added features such as EV charging. You can also purchase flexible parking permits from the Breeze platform – these digital monthlies can be customized down to the minute, letting you park faster and flexibly across all of PCI’s Breeze-enabled locations.
Breeze also provides validations that are distributed at retail partner outlets around their locations. Parkers can scan a QR code at the retail branch to get an instant discount on their parking session.
In just 4 months of going live, online reservations for event parking increased exponentially by 600%. It also made things much more convenient for PCI parkers.
The partnership between PCI and Get My Parking accelerates and enhances the customer experience across a network of parking locations, making parking simpler, faster, and smarter. It’s a significant step towards making smart parking accessible and affordable for everyone in the country.
