solutions by stc released a statement noting that the newfound partnership will help expand the Company’s product line as it enters a new market segment to further expand its digital product line. Considering that parking management solutions in itself is a new market segment, PASS has been a local pioneer in providing such services with a successful track record of accomplishments. Through this collaboration, solutions by stc will be the exclusive provider of this innovative technology to both B2B and commercial segments on behalf of PASS, while providing additional services to support SMEs in adopting this streamlined solution.

The smart parking solution integrates several technologies to digitize the user experience when entering and exiting parking structures. The Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) device enables smart parking by using an optical character recognition to read vehicle license plates and store data on all vehicle movement both in and out of the structure.
The smart parking solution is designed for pay-to-park parking structures and is a perfect solution for both employees and employers to keep track of all parking related information. Through the ‘subscription system’, employers will be able to manage parking spaces efficiently, while eliminating the use of parking tickets, payment by cash, or any unnecessary human interaction. This feature helps eliminate all contact associated with entering and leaving a parking structure, serving as a valuable feature considering the ongoing pandemic and social distancing.
Another feature included in the application is ‘pre-booking’. Pre-booking allows users to reserve a parking spot in advance before arriving to the parking structure. While users will not be able to reserve a specific spot, they will be designated a vacant spot in a near by location, still saving valuable time during busy times.
