AutoPlus Systems Extends Its Knowledge Base Into Parking Lot Management and Neighborhood Watch Segments with a New iPhone App
Parking Lot Manager represents a significant product diversification for AutoPlus Systems by extending its automotive database and scanning technology into several new markets. This new iPhone application is a management and security tool for monitoring vehicles in a parking lot, on a neighborhood street, or anywhere its important to know the identity of the vehicles and whether they are authorized to be there.
AutoPlus Systems created this app for managers of private parking areas at apartments, condos, dormitories or commercial buildings and for neighborhood watch organizations. Its a fast and easy way to keep track of a collection of vehicles. Fleet managers may also find Parking Lot Manager to be a valuable tool.
Employing an Apple iPhone, the user can scan a vehicles VIN barcode using the built-in scanning function. Alternately, the license plate number or VIN can be manually entered using the keypad. If the search button is tapped, the software will identify if the vehicle has been previously entered and whether it is authorized. The vehicle information can then be displayed. Tap Add Vehicle and a new record will be created.
If the VIN is scanned or entered, Parking Lot Manager will automatically identify the Year, Make, Model and Trim for the newly discovered vehicle. Additional information can be added such as color, plate number, parking space number and a detailed note. A photo of the car and/or license plate (or the cars owner) can be added to the record. A one-touch in/out time stamp is available to track arrival and departure times if desired.
The list of vehicles is displayed in a table with thumbnail photos and can be sorted by plate number, car make, or parking space identifier for quick review. A vehicles complete record can be displayed and edited by tapping on any entry on the list.
The companys spokesperson said that they are excited about being able to apply their automotive industry experience to the parking area security and neighborhood watch fields. AutoPlus Systems is working with several security organizations to develop additional technology extensions.
