Octon Named President of Parkeon U.S. Parkeon Inc. has promoted Christopher Octon to President
of its U.S. operations. Most recently Vice President of Sales and Marketing, he has been with the company for 15 years. Octon has “a strong background in transit activities,” the company said, “and he takes over an organization that recently combined its parking and transit operations, enabling Parkeon to provide and implement systems to improve global urban mobility.” He came to the U.S. market late last year, after leading a successful team covering regions such as the United Kingdom, South Africa, Australia, The Middle East, Scandinavia and India. Octon has played a key part in many global projects, including the Prestige project in London, delivering the transport system serving 90 stations and 8,000 buses. In the US, he worked with New Jersey Transit to deliver its on-board fare collection equipment, and is working with New York City Transit to ensure satisfaction of its 100 Strada paystations.
Said Stephane Roques, Parkeon’s Global Sales and Marketing Director: “Chris has the background and skills to lead our team as it faces a market looking for more advanced features in its parking and transit systems.”
Roques added: “In the U.S., we sold 4,000 paystations in 2011 and 4,500 so far in 2012 [January through April], so we are solidified as the market leader today. Our main focus is to ensure a high level of customer satisfaction and proximity in order to reinforce our top position.” (Source: Parkeon Inc.)
PassportParking Launches Mobile Payment System
Passport Parking, LLC added mobile payment to their suite of cloud based parking solutions. PassportParking Mobile Pay has been developed to enable providers greater operational efficiency through real-time monitoring and control of their facilities. Customers can also use the popular and interchangeable voice and text payment options to pay for parking sessions. The pay-by-phone system seamlessly integrates into other aspects of the platform giving parking providers complete control of their facilities. PassportParking’s operations management console can now allow parking providers to simply manage their day-to-day functions such as parking rates, contract parking, ticketing and enforcement, real-time monitoring and reporting, all from the Internet. “This is the first of many releases we have scheduled for our mobile segment,” says Charlie Youakim, Managing Partner at PassportParking. “Our goal isn’t to match products currently in the market, it is to exceed them. The fact that we have received great feedback from both clients and parkers on the simplicity of our mobile pay system gets me excited about the next versions of the app.”
Once securely registered, motorists can pay for parking by using a mobile app, calling into the voice system, or texting their zone and space information. Customers can also receive text messages or voice alerts for reminders to stop or extend parking.
