Parking Technology Provider Flash Valet and ParkWhiz eParking System Integrate to Provide Seamless, End-to-End Solution

Flash Valet and ParkWhiz have partnered to create an efficient and complete solution for parking providers. ParkWhiz.com allows consumers to find and pay for guaranteed parking online and in advance, while Flash Valet enables revenue control, vehicle tracking, and paperless, cloud-based record keeping in managed parking environments. Integration of these systems means an optimal experience for both guests and parking providers.

For consumers, the advantages of this integration are many. Upon arrival, guests who have purchased in advance via ParkWhiz.com will be checked in in a matter of seconds and can expect to experience faster arrival and departure. Later, guests that valet can have their vehicle brought to them via text message request.

The upside for parking providers is clear. With this integration, they can now manage every aspect of their operation via a single user-friendly platform, including reservations, purchases and validations. This integration system will improve revenue tracking, which will positively impact the bottom line and result in more efficient operations overall. Instant tracking of e-parking reservations and vehicle locations helps providers manage their available spaces. Flash Valet has been a leading solution for parking providers in need of rapid deployment, and adding ParkWhiz to the equation heightens the service’s flexibility.

“For businesses and special events, the ParkWhiz and Flash Valet integration will make for a more efficient and responsive operation,” explained Juan Rodriguez of Flash Valet. “Every facet of the operation can be managed with a mobile device, from revenue control and accounting, to validation and credit card acceptance at the curb. With the integrated mobile barcode scanner, vehicles can be instantly entered into the system. Valets can snap pictures of every vehicle handled – an added bonus feature in the event of an insurance claim.”

”We are excited to partner with Flash Valet and assist in offering a superior customer experience with e-parking reservations and validations,” says ParkWhiz SVP of Sales and Partnerships, Dean Bravos. “We know that this partnership will be beneficial to both parking facility owners and consumers as it provides streamlined solutions for all.”

Flash Valet is available in three tiers as a monthly, pay-as-you-go plan. The “A La Carte” plan is both economical and customizable. The “Value Pack” is the most popular option, while the “Unlimited” plan is ideal for high-volume venues. Flash Valet also offers online training options and online or phone support to customers. The system can even deliver surveys to guests, providing valuable feedback on the strengths and weaknesses of the parking provider.
