Redefining Large-Scale Parking Operations with Autopay

## The evolution of parking management
From an initially unregulated market to the introduction of payment for parking, the way parking is handled has evolved significantly. Over the years, parking meters have brought structure to parking garages by ensuring rotation in parking and less congestion in highly populated areas. It has also opened doors and promoted turnover for landowners. However, the enforcement of these systems has required manual intervention, like issuing fines to those who overstayed their parking or left without paying. 
Private parking operators entered the scene as the number of vehicles grew, requiring efficient management of these spaces. Eventually, barriers were introduced and implemented in parking garages throughout Europe. This brought a more secure solution to collecting payment for parking and is, to this day, the standard method in large parts of the world. While such traditional methods are structured, they involve significant investments in infrastructure, such as barriers, and require 24/7 staffing to handle lost tickets or technical failures.

## The Nordics vs. the rest of Europe
The parking management industry in the Nordics has distinct characteristics compared to the rest of Europe. Over the past decade, the Nordic region has championed customer-centric approaches and embraced technological integration in parking solutions. Furthermore, the region has seen a rapid adoption of innovative technologies such as Autopay's camera-based, barrier-free system. In contrast, much of Europe still relies on traditional methods, heavily dependent on physical infrastructure like barriers and manual self-service kiosks. 

## Disruptive innovation setting new standards 
Autopay was born from a realization that the parking industry, despite advancements through diverse payment methods and parking apps, was ripe for digital disruption. When entering the parking scene in 2013, Autopay had a vision to revolutionize the industry through digitalization. This marks a significant industry shift from traditional methods to an innovative, digital-first approach.

The idea behind the solution was elegantly simple yet revolutionary: to leverage modern camera technology to track vehicle entries and exits in parking facilities, allowing customers to register their vehicles and payment details once for seamless, barrier-free access. This groundbreaking approach eradicated the need for physical barriers and on-site staffing, opening up the possibility for increased revenue for parking operators, as well as more efficient management of parking spaces. 

>"This was revolutionary for the parking industry. However, it also faced a lot of skepticism among parking operators and landowners regarding how accurate the ANPR cameras would be. It was also difficult for some to believe they could operate their parking garages without having staff physically present."
Stig Ove Gulbrandsen, CEO at Autopay

The cloud-based system seamlessly integrates with parking operators’ existing finance systems and comes with predefined analytics dashboards providing valuable data such as heat maps for parking usage. This data-centric approach ensures not only efficient management but also enhances user experience and aligns with modern digital practices.

## Customer-centric and cost-effective
At the heart of Autopay's mission lies a commitment to prioritizing the needs of the end-user. Autopay's approach transformed the industry standard from punitive fines to a customer-friendly approach, by replacing penalties with minimal administrative fees. An improved customer experience fosters loyalty and enhances the parking operators’ brand. Although it was initially met with skepticism, the solution proved to be a game-changer, demonstrating unwavering reliability and efficiency without the need for on-site staff. As a result, it has enabled parking operators to be more cost-effective, while optimizing revenue and elevating their brand. 


>"After the initial skepticism, parking operators saw that the solution worked and that they could gain tremendous benefits from the various features we offered. There was no longer any doubt about the accuracy of the ANPR cameras and the powerful technology behind the solution."
Stig Ove Gulbrandsen, CEO at Autopay

## Lessons from the Nordic parking revolution
As we reflect on the Nordic parking revolution, several valuable lessons emerge:
- **Embrace technology:** The future of parking management lies in embracing cutting-edge technology and adopting innovative solutions that enhance efficiency and customer satisfaction.
- **Prioritize customer needs:** Placing customers at the forefront of operations fosters loyalty and trust, creating a more harmonious parking experience. 
- **Cultivate a culture of adaptability:** The Nordic parking revolution teaches us the value of fostering a culture of adaptability. In an evolving industry, parking operators should remain agile, ready to pivot and embrace new approaches as technology and customer preferences evolve. This adaptability ensures long-term relevance and success.

The future of parking management: How to stay ahead of the curve

Electric vehicles (EVs) have been growing in popularity in recent years due to their environmental friendliness and increasing affordability. However, one of the main challenges associated with EV ownership is the availability of charging infrastructure. The deployment of public charging stations has been accelerating, but the issue of charging pricing remains a significant challenge for both charging station operators and EV drivers.

Dynamic pricing is an approach that has been gaining popularity in the EV charging industry as a way to address pricing challenges. In dynamic pricing, the cost of charging an EV is adjusted based on various factors, including the time of day, the location of the charging station, and the demand for charging services. By implementing dynamic pricing, charging station operators can optimize the utilization of their charging infrastructure, encourage off-peak charging, and increase revenue.

One of the most significant benefits of dynamic pricing is that it encourages off-peak charging. During peak hours, the demand for charging services is high, which can lead to congestion and long wait times at charging stations. With dynamic pricing, charging station operators can adjust prices to encourage EV owners to charge their vehicles during off-peak hours, when the demand for charging is lower. This can help reduce congestion and wait times at charging stations, making the charging process more convenient for EV owners.

Another benefit of dynamic pricing is that it can help charging station operators optimize the utilization of their charging infrastructure. By adjusting prices based on demand, charging station operators can encourage EV owners to use less congested stations or to charge their vehicles for shorter periods. This can help reduce the strain on busy charging stations and improve the overall efficiency of the charging network.

Autopay lets you manage EV charging and parking on the same platform.

Furthermore, dynamic pricing can help charging station operators increase revenue. By charging higher prices during peak hours, charging station operators can generate more revenue from each charging session. Additionally, by encouraging off-peak charging, charging station operators can increase the overall utilization of their charging infrastructure, leading to higher revenues.

While dynamic pricing has many benefits, it also poses some challenges. One of the most significant challenges is the potential for price fluctuations. EV owners may find it difficult to predict the cost of charging their vehicles, which can lead to frustration and uncertainty. Charging station operators must ensure that prices are transparent and easily accessible to EV owners to avoid these issues.

Another challenge of dynamic pricing is the potential for unfair pricing practices. Charging station operators must ensure that prices are set fairly and are not discriminatory against certain groups of EV owners. This can be particularly challenging when charging stations are located in areas with different socio-economic backgrounds.

In conclusion, dynamic pricing is a promising approach for addressing pricing challenges in the EV charging industry. By adjusting prices based on various factors, charging station operators can optimize the utilization of their charging infrastructure, encourage off-peak charging, and increase revenue. However, to successfully implement dynamic pricing, charging station operators must ensure that prices are transparent and fair to all EV owners. With proper planning and implementation, dynamic pricing can help make the EV charging experience more convenient and efficient for EV owners, while also supporting the growth of the EV industry.

Dynamic pricing of EV-charging

Adoption of electric vehicles has grown quickly in Norway, and Tesla has a huge market share. Needless to say, the demand for EV charging is growing quickly.

Before, Tesla didn’t have a central charging hub in Oslo. Now, by partnering with Autopay partner ONEPARK, Tesla found a home within an Autopay garage called Sentrum P-hus, a 1,500 spot underground facility in downtown Oslo.

“The agreement with Tesla is in line with our strategic vision and our wish to take more social responsibility.” – Mona Elisabeth Gladhus - Marketing Manager at ONEPARK

The customer experience is seamless as Tesla owners who are registered Autopay users are able to simply drive in, plug in, plug out and drive out. Being automatically billed for both for charging and parking respectively.

The advantages of integrating charging infrastructure into garages is that it utilizes existing real estate. Garages are already built and designed for parking, making them an ideal location for installing charging stations without requiring additional space or disrupting the surrounding area.

This puts parking operations in the center of providing destination charging infrastructure. We will likely see a lot more chargers popping up in central garages, both from Tesla, but also integrated with Autopay!

Autopay integrated EV-charging is even more hassle-free!

Tesla finds a home with Autopay at Sentrum P-hus

Selvaag Eiendom develops, rents out and operates properties with a sustainable perspective. They are concerned with initiative, honesty, creativity, and having a forward-looking attitude towards innovation.

Bratt-Aanensen is responsible for the operation of all the properties of Selvaag Eiendom. This includes upgrades, refurbishment, and making sure that the technical equipment is as good as possible. This also includes parking: finding suppliers and systems that simplify administration and secure income as best as possible.

Like most others, Selvaag Eiendom used barriers and payment machines, before they introduced Autopay in 2020. How was the transition between the old-fashioned and the state-of-the-art?

– Some of the decisions regarding the establishment of barriers as part of the parking control were taken in the period 2010-13, and at that time, many were probably skeptical about entrusting all control to license plate recognition. Many probably feared that "no one will pay". Turns out there has been such an enormous technical development in just 3-4 years, that we have replaced all the barriers with new equipment, several years before the standard service life was reached, explains Bratt-Aanensen.

What makes Autopay parking management so great?

## **Autopay in daily operation at Selvaag Eiendom**
They used to have challenges with barriers and card readers, and when they had early plate recognition for the barriers to go up, they often ended up having to leave the entire facility open, with associated lost income.

– Now the income has increased, and more users are being registered. If the numbers had gone down in a rising market, I would have been skeptical. In that sense, I am confident that what needs to be read, is in fact being read. So, if we theoretically lose some of the cars now, it amounts to very little in relation to the loss of income from having a barrier up for 2-3 hours.

Bratt-Aanensen is satisfied with the security of the system, and is certain that all passes are recorded. But do the drivers understand the solution? Both in relation to the fact that it is safe, that they are charged correctly, and that they understand how to pay?

– That is my impression. It has been a steep learning curve and maturation, in just two years. When we introduced Autopay at Tjuvholmen, there was some uncertainty, but it cleared up quite quickly. Today, we experience little uncertainty, and we also have no questions about the system. The users perceive that the system can be trusted.

Bratt-Aanensen goes on to say that they have tested dirty signs of varying degrees without this causing any problems with being registered.

– An advantage of the new camera solutions is that we now have the opportunity to take pictures of the plates both in front and behind. 4-5 years ago you only took the front plates, now you take both the front and rear plates.
 
Bratt-Aanensen praises the technology and the online user interface.
 
– I think both the technical structure and the user interface is intuitively laid out. Everyone establishes their own private profile, and through that profile you get both parking access and administration access.

Autopay has run flawlessly for years, and OSL has benefited from stable operation across short- and long term parking, pre-booking, drop-off zones and valet services, spread over more than 20 parking zones and 23,000 parking spaces.

## World class stability and reliability
At OSL, Autopay handles car parks on a large scale, while creating a smoother experience for both travelers, staff and operators.

After OSL replaced the old-fashioned barriers with Autopay, the service costs have been significantly reduced, with fewer employees on site. The shift from managing physical equipment to digital management has resulted in better data, which in turn enables smarter data-driven decisions.

Autopay Parking Management Suite, for instance, is built in close cooperation with experienced parking operators, such as OSL operating partner Onepark, and ensures operational efficiency as well as the latest technological advances.

## High tech airport for modern travelers
OSL set the goal of becoming the most technological airport parking operation in the world. By implementing Autopay they are about to achieve just that.

The electric future requires future-proof charging solutions. In Norway, we eventually have a large fleet of electric cars, and more than 65 % of all new cars sold are fully electric. Autopay's electric vehicle charging concepts are key components of the solution at OSL, as Autopay provides a contactless and more convenient way to pay for charging of electric vehicles. OSL might just be Norway's largest charging facility.


Autopay EV-Charging is a game changer for parking operators and airports alike

Autopay also offers a fully integrated dynamic pricing engine that generates demand-based tariffs in real time, based on multiple data sources. What makes the solution even more unique is its ability to provide accurate forecasts as well as fully optimize both roll-up and booking prices.

For decades, there has been little change in how people park and how operators go about their business. Today, both operators, staff and travelers demand better solutions. OSL has found the answer in Autopay. A world-leading, free flow parking experience built for customer-centric and efficient parking operations with the future at its core.

There are 26 charging boxes in Kinogarasjen, and the price is controlled dynamically, and ensures customers the right price. In addition, customers can plan to charge when electricity is cheapest.

This enables landlords the opportunity to take ownership of charging, by integration. 

In contrast to the past, where others have come in with installations, the landlord now has full control, when the operators take care of everything.

Customers only need to use one payment platform, and parking operators can manage everything in Autopay.

Autopay's unique and customer-friendly EV-charging concepts were key components in the solution chosen by Kinogarasjen, as Autopay provides a contactless, touch-free and more convenient way to pay for EV charging.

In the future you won’t even need a charging cable. Everything is done wirelessly. The car park of the future is all about simplicity, for both customers and operators.
