TCS and Parking Guidance – The Market Leader


DIGITAL PAYMENT TECHNOLOGIES Digital Payment Technologies Adds Parking Sessions by Phone


Digital Payment Technologies (DPT), a leading supplier of parking


technology and solutions, has rolled out its Extend-by-Phone service to enable consumers to receive parking expiration notices and extend parking time via text (SMS) messaging.


Extend-by-Phone is the only mobile payment solution of its kind that works with paystation-initiated purchases and does not require the consumer to set up an account. Using the service, consumers paying with a credit card at the paystation are prompted to enter their mobile phone number, which gives them the convenient option to extend their parking session later. When their parking time is about to expire, consumers receive a text


Greg Parzych, CEO of TSC International What happens when drivers search for an


available parking space, never realizing open spaces are nearby? When drivers are stuck in traffic, circling the area, or waiting in line at a full facility, everybody loses. Instead, direct those parkers quickly and efficiently to where it benefits you the most. TCS International is truly the market leader in parking guidance systems, with more than 100 systems installed. CEO Greg Parzych introduced its newest equipment at the IPI Expo in Phoenix. TCS,


the only complete North American


manufacturer of these systems, has integrated wireless encrypted communications throughout all its designs. With features such as mobile apps, web radio,


interface, reservations and SMS text


messaging, TCS system designs are second to none. The multiple technologies employed are truly leading the market. Advantages include less time wasted looking


for spaces; fewer incidents/accidents; less fuel and emissions wasted; and improved customer loyalty in a competitive market.

notification asking if they would like to extend the session, and by how much time. Consumers simply respond to the text with the amount of time to add. The extra time is then automatically charged to the card used to make the original paystation purchase. No credit card information is exchanged by phone, and the transaction is securely handled at DPT’s PCI- compliant paystations.


This feature has the dual benefits of increasing consumer satisfaction and generating operator revenue by promoting


greater compliance with parking policy. DPT’s Extend-by-Phone is already deployed in Lake Geneva, WI, and numerous other cities will be rolling out the service in the coming months. It’s also used by many private operators such as Vinci Park and Concord Parking.
