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.

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.

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.

#JohnVanHorn from #ParkingToday asked me to present at last month's 2018 #PIE Conference on how to engage employees when it comes to implementing technology based solutions. As he put it, "To be blunt, it’s still pretty common in our world to work with front-line managers who couldn’t build an Excel spreadsheet if their lives depended on it."

Helping your employees set new goals for 2018 is a great way to motivate your workforce and accelerate their professional growth for career advancement. When all levels of the organization buy into a common set of goals it also improves employee engagement and creates a more positive work culture.
