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.

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.

There are several ways to manage your monthly parkers and track revenue, especially when overseeing group accounts. Many of these accounts have terms defined within a tenant lease or other contract, and ensuring the billing system is keeping pace with these requirements can be challenging. Many of our clients use Zephire to administer both their contract and non-contract group parkers and appreciate the convenience the system offers in tracking incoming revenue and space usage accurately. In this post, we highlight the ways our clients use this part of Zephire to automate the management monthly parking group accounts efficiently and accurately.
