Powerful admin tools

We get it: your parking systems are complicated, and it's a challenge to make sense of the volumes of data they generate. We designed Parkio to be flexible enough to accommodate complex configurations while providing easy-to-use management tools.
  • Daily Charges. Parking is a commodity; why not charge for it like one? By charging for parking on consumption basis, you can maximize ROI on your parking infrastructure while also encouraging the adoption of alternative, non drive-alone commute modes.
  • Daily Charges + Commute Bonuses. We encourage customers with tight constraints on their parking inventory to consider adding commute bonuses to their on-campus parking program. By awarding small bonuses to employees who utilize alternative modes of transportation, you can offer a carrot to go along with the stick of parking charges. Bonus-eligible commute activity can be reported via self-service tools, and is automatically verified against parking records to prevent improper use.

Elegant user tools

We should warn you that Parkio doesn't come with a user manual. Nor, do we have any plans to write one. We believe that software should be simple to use, and we've spent years designing and redesigning our products to that end. When in doubt about a feature's usability, we've simply left it out.

We know that there's lots of complexity involved in your parking systems, but we'll make sure that your employees don't have to.

Drop-in integration

"IT integration." Two words guaranteed to strike fear in the heart of any business owner. And for good reason; it's hard work hooking into legacy software systems that were designed before most of us were born. Don't worry, we've done this before and our team stands ready to quickly and efficiently guide you through the Parkio integration process.

Integration Cookbook
Parkio's extensive documentation benefits from all the customer integrations we've completed to date. We call this our "Integration Cookbook", and we find that it can provide drop-in solutions for over 80% of the integration challenges we face. 


Seamless Billing
Parkio can generate records that are compatible with every major payroll system (PeopleSoft, Lawson, SAP, etc.), which means Parkio will play nicely with your existing payroll & A/R  system and allow you to deduct parking charges directly from your employees' paychecks. 

APIs
Parkio was built as an open, extensible solution from day one. Our APIs constitute a big part of this openness, and are a first-class product that can expose Parkio's data and business logic to your organization's custom-built applications
