Mobile Payment by Cale - An integrated part of the parking operator’s total solution

Being able to provide mobility and payment using mobile devices is something that has affected many industries in recent years. For parking authorities and operators, this means an opportunity to offer increased customer convenience by adding mobile payment as an option to other means of payment.

For a supplier like Cale, it is natural to offer mobile payment as part of a complete digital parking concept. Mobile payment is an integral part of both the end customer experience and the  operator’s daily operations. We at Cale believe that an integrated solution offers several important advantages for a parking authority or operator.

Taking advantage of the benefits of mobile payment is about rapidly increasing usage, which requires a strong focus on the end customer: ease of use and significantly increased customer convenience is essential for success. By integrating all payment methods into a complete digital solution, the parking authority or operator gets all the transactions in one place and in real time. This enables quick and easy business analysis, as well as simplified and efficient operations, which, in turn increases efficiency and margins. In addition, it allows for the integration of digital enforcement, thereby gaining maximum benefit from the system.

“I believe having information from all ongoing parking sessions in one system would be ideal for the operators. This may require complex system integration, and I think Cale has a role to play in helping our customers and partners”, says CIO and Mobile Payments Manager, Maja Fröjdh.
