Showcase
Apart from entrance and exit gates, pay-on-foot machines are the most important point of contact between patrons and the car parks access and revenue control facilities. The simple coin operated machine of yesteryear has long been replaced by modern multi-purpose pay-on-foot devices capable of issuing parking tickets, granting validations and accepting numerous different means of payment. Austrian-based access control specialist SKIDATA has accepted the challenge and come up with a new line of products equipped with a broad range of features designed to make things for the operator and patrons easier than ever before. The result, the new .Cash generation of pay-on-foot machines, saw its official launch at this years Intertraffic. Apart from the mainline product Easy.Cash, which accepts all common means of payment from cash to credit and debit cards, SKIDATA offers a Credit.Cash model, which is designed exclusively for cashless payment.

About
How Did The Story Start?
----------
10 years ago, there was the idea to centralize all the information concerning parking at one place on the Internet. In co-operation with the EPA, this platform was launched in 1996 and has grown into the worlds' largest information source on parking.
----------
Why Is Parking Network A Success?
----------
The parking industry is overloaded with information. Finding qualified information is difficult. Due to time constraints professionals cannot read all this information. Parking Network gives the professional the opportunity to find well structured qualified information in one place on the Internet at any time and any place without any costs. Also, the platform enables the visitor to find unbiased vendor information.
