Illustrative scene

What changes on the lot

A lot that answers its own questions.

Where is that vehicle? How full is the north row? Who is looking at the car stopped in the aisle? ParkSense gives sales, service, security and operations the same answer from one shared view, which makes vehicle lots easier to run.

How the platform works
  1. 01

    Understand each space

    Map zones, rows and spaces, then track their observed states in one view. Every space has a state your whole team can read: in use, open or held for a purpose.

  2. 02

    Find the right vehicle

    Search inventory by stock number or description and go straight to the row and space where the vehicle was last observed, without walking the rows.

  3. 03

    Connect arrivals and occupancy to operations

    Zone occupancy through the day shows when demand peaks and where space runs short. Your team plans around it: staffing the service lane or a busy entrance, keeping short-stay and loading areas clear, opening overflow before the main rows fill.

  4. 04

    Route exceptions to a person

    When something needs judgement, such as a vehicle blocking an aisle or movement after hours, the right person gets it with context. People decide; the record shows who and when.

Illustrative product view

Bring vehicle activity into one operating view.

Arrivals, departures, searches and exceptions land on a single map of your lot. Each zone keeps its own count, every located vehicle has a row and a space, and anything unusual waits for a person.

Illustrative product view with sample data. Vehicles arrive and leave a four-zone lot while each zone’s count updates; a searched vehicle is located in Row C with a walking route from the service desk; and a vehicle stopped in an aisle is flagged, assigned to the lot manager and marked reviewed.

Two solution paths

Find the workflow that fits your facility.

Dealership lots, paid parking and retail centers ask different questions of the same ground. ParkSense is configured around the one you run.

01Dealerships

Know where every unit is, and what it is doing.

From the front line to overflow rows, inventory stays findable and lot activity stays visible, so sales, service and security work from the same picture.

Inventory search
Find a unit by stock number or description and see its row and space.
Lot visibility
What is on the front line, in service and in overflow, zone by zone.
Movement and test drives
Moves between zones and test drives stay accounted for.
After-hours review
Movement after closing becomes an event for a person to review.

02Paid parking and retail

Occupancy you can plan around.

For operators of paid surface lots and garages, and for shopping and strip center managers: see how each area fills through the day, then decide where staff, signage and space go.

Peaks and staffing
Zone occupancy, with each observation time, shows when areas fill, so the operations lead can plan attendants and open overflow early.
Short-stay and loading areas
Short-stay spaces, pickup bays and loading each get their own zone view, so attendants know where to check first.
Storefront and staff parking
Occupancy history from storefront rows to rear parking gives the property manager a basis for employee parking, signage and tenant conversations.

Payments, permits and enforcement stay in the platforms you already use. ParkSense adds zone occupancy alongside them, through an integration plan agreed for your site.

How it works

From camera input to actionable events.

ParkSense is built so the operator sees what happened and what to do next. Video is interpreted on site; what reaches your team is a clear, structured account of the lot.

  1. 01/ 04

    Observe

    Coverage is planned per site. Camera positions are agreed with your team so the rows, zones, entries and exits you care about are actually in view.

    Input · camera views planned with you

  2. 02/ 04

    Interpret on site

    Edge processing at the facility analyzes video where it is captured, turning what the cameras see into vehicle positions, movements and counts.

    Processing · on site, at the edge

  3. 03/ 04

    Structure

    Each observation becomes a structured event: vehicle located, arrival, departure, zone count or exception, with the time and place attached.

    Output · time-stamped events

  4. 04/ 04

    Act

    Events reach the operator view and the people who own them. Searches resolve to a row and a space; exceptions wait for a person to review, assign and close.

    Decision · people in the loop

Operator view

Search, see and decide in one place.

The operator view brings inventory search, zone occupancy and a review queue together. It is designed for the person at the service desk and the manager walking the lot: clear states, plain language and no wall of feeds to watch.

  • ZonesOccupancy by zone, with the age of every reading
  • ReviewExceptions with an owner, a state and a history

Principles

Designed around your site.

No two lots share a layout, a camera plan or a set of rules. ParkSense is scoped with you, so what runs on your site fits how your site works.

  1. 01

    Coverage planned per site

    Camera positions, sightlines and the spaces that matter are worked out with your team before anything is installed. Coverage follows your lot, not a template.

  2. 02

    Processing on site

    Video is analyzed by edge processing at the facility. The operator view works with structured events such as locations, counts, arrivals and exceptions.

  3. 03

    People in the loop

    ParkSense flags and routes; your people decide. Every exception has an owner and a visible state, from new to assigned to reviewed.

  4. 04

    Data handling agreed with you

    Retention, access and how events reach your other systems are defined with you, site by site, and written down before go-live.
