In today’s world, the ability to make informed decisions hinges on one thing: data. Not only data, but clear, organized, and accurate data. That’s where reporting comes into the picture. Strong reporting not only organizes information –it tells a story, reveals patterns and trends, and guides business strategy. Reporting is especially important in the parking industry where operations can be complex. A system like Zephire, that offers robust reporting, allows operators to more efficiently manage their locations. Let’s explore how reporting can benefit your operations.

In today’s fast-paced, digital world, both operators and their parkers expect seamless, efficient solutions. By using a monthly parking platform such as Zephire that integrates with PARCS providers, operators can streamline their workflows while providing parkers with instant, hassle-free access. The industry is also trending towards digital credentialing, which aids in these efforts. Digital credentials offer immediate parking access, improving operational efficiency.

As an operator of parking facilities, you’re continually looking for ways to reduce costs and improve bottom line performance in your own organization.

Many organizations have implemented fee programs that are billed along with monthly parking charges, as one way to recoup operating costs.

Once upon a time, receiving a parking ticket for losing track of time, misreading signage, or fumbling for change at a meter felt inevitable. One mistake often meant that unintentional offenders were doomed to receive a costly citation. But today, the industry is making the shift across cities, campuses, and private operations from punishment to prevention. This shift is also a topic of focus at the 2025 IPMI Conference & Expo. Rather than enforcing, many operators now choose to act as a guide to the public – educating them on best practices before noncompliance happens. Not only does this shift resonate better with the public, but it’s also better for business.

When managing thousands of monthly parkers, late payments and follow-ups can become a serious drain on time and resources. One of Zephire’s most powerful tools—automated suspension—changes that equation completely. By linking permit billing directly with your PARCS systems, Zephire automatically blocks access for delinquent accounts and handles all the necessary communications.
