From arrival to action
An open lot. A connected operation.
- 01
Capture the arrival
An entrance camera reads the plate and records the vehicle’s entry time. The parking session begins without a ticket or gate arm.
- 02
Park. Scan. Pay by plate.
Drivers follow posted payment instructions, with an operator-configurable grace window to park and complete checkout.
- 03
Match payment to the vehicle
Connected payment records are matched to plate sessions so operators can see which vehicles are paid, still within grace or overdue.
- 04
Close the session at exit
Where exit cameras and the payment integration support it, match departures to arrivals and calculate the charge for the completed stay.
Multi-lot intelligence
Patrol the exceptions. Not every lot.
Prioritize overdue unpaid sessions rather than routine checks at fully compliant properties. Alerts identify the lot, plate, entry time and vehicle make when available, giving staff a specific vehicle to investigate.
Build the revenue model that fits.
Keep a compatible merchant account or discuss turnkey checkout. Processing fees and integration terms are quoted up front. At mixed-use properties, limit paid availability to surplus spaces and hours so customer access stays protected.
QR pay-by-plate
Offer flat-rate or timed parking through a QR code on your signage. Prepayment or exit-based billing depends on your chosen payment integration.
Monthly parking revenue
Offer recurring parking to regular users with plate-linked monthly permits and defined access hours. Set availability around the capacity your lot can support.
Automatically mailed notices
Documented unpaid violations can enter an automated mailing workflow where lawful. This requires compliant signage, authorized registered-owner access and review of state and local requirements.
New equipment may not be needed.
Our software works with many cameras. We review your existing equipment, plate-image quality and connection options first, so usable hardware stays in place.
Use what you have
Compatibility depends on the camera model, positioning, lighting and available integration. Not every surveillance camera is suitable for dependable plate capture.
Or let us provide everything
If new equipment is needed, we can supply cameras, mounting hardware, payment signage and the supporting setup. Hardware, installation and integrations are included in your project quote.
Start with one lot. Build around your operation.
We assess your entrances, existing cameras, payment provider, parking terms and enforcement approach. A supervised pilot checks plate-to-payment matching and alert quality before expanding to more properties.
LotManager is custom quoted for your lots, camera coverage, payment integrations and notice services.
