The main problem that parking companies face when systematizing their processes is the difficulty of finding software that allows them to support all business needs in an integrated way. Currently, parking companies are forced to acquire multiple software to systematize their operations. Even many times, they must manage their operations in Excel with macros and reconciliations to take control of their processes and transfer the data to accounting. To meet this need, In-Parking has developed a parking solution ecosystem for the industry:
- In the first place, In-Parking is a 100% integrated solution with Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance and Operations. It not only allows us to have all the advantages of having a high-level ERP but also allows us to have the capabilities of IMS (Information Management System), a product designed for the parking industry in the same workspace.
- Additionally, parking companies that do not need to implement Microsoft's ERP will be able to acquire the IMS (Information Management System) or In-Parking SIGHT, a specialized reporting tool for the parking industry, separately.
Let’s break down these capabilities and what they will bring to your parking operations.

It will allow the administration of the facilities in garages and lots, Meter Rentals, residential parking services, and the management of subscription contracts and deferrals, among other benefits. All of this affecting the accounting directly. One of the most critical challenges for parking companies is that the software that controls their operations is not integrated with accounting, and it ends up being built with information from multiple sources. An ERP with the parking operation modules in the software guarantees the transfer of financial information online, allowing greater control and less manual work.
