About Parking Boss

Parking Boss is a cloud-based platform that allows communities to manage resident parking via an easy web application. The software offers a visual representation of each space in the community, as well as an interactive map where users can assign spaces. It can also be used to color-code spaces, so residents or guests can easily see which areas are free and not in use. The app's centralized interface allows users to manage guest parking by adding guests and future residents and setting prices for each group based on their needs. In addition, administrators can add retail and electric vehicle parking options to increase revenues by optimizing space prices. Key features include payment processing, QR code access, map view and email notifications.

Top Notch Software and Support

I have nothing but good things to say. Again, this software and support from Parking Boss has differentiated us from other security patrol companies in our area. We are to the point now where we won't take on a client that has parking issues that doesn't use Parking Boss.

PROS

After researching parking enforcement softwares, Parking Boss seemed like a no-brainer. I am owner of a security franchise. We were previously tracking parking violations in communities using Google Sheets. It was a disaster. Parking Boss has not only allowed us to secure more properties, it cuts time off of patrols at properties that have parking issues. I am the owner of a small security franchise, and since recommending Parking Boss to other franchisees, they have adopted it as well. I will continue to do so.

CONS

The only downfall I've seen so far is the lack of multiple thresholds for clients with multiple types of parking violations, but Parking Boss is going to be implementing this shortly.

Parking Boss has saved my Condominium Association time, money and improved efficiency

Wonderful! We were one of the first condominiums that started to use Parking Boss for parking monitoring and provided feedback to the owners when the software first rolled out. We are happy with the software.

PROS

We like that the parking program is virtual and accessible to our residents and their guest 24 hours/7 days a week. I am able to access the software as the Administrator from my phone and assist my residents. It allows us to monitor the residents and their guest, it provides us with documentation that we may have unauthorized occupants.

CONS

We would like for the software to be more adaptable and allow special parking permits to be extended more than once. It would also be more convenient if we are able to just click a button to renew a parking permit that may have expired, rather than having to enter the information all over again.

Reason for choosing Parking Boss

Price and ease of use.

Parking Boss evaluation

I believe the concept is wonderful and so far most of our residents have given the thumbs up. Inputting all of the information is incredible time consuming especially with almost 1000 residents at my property. Hopefully the inputting of information can become more efficient.

PROS

Ease of monitoring registered automobiles.

CONS

Inputting initial information is very time consuming.

Vendor Response

Hi Shannon, We're really sorry that the initial resident content input took too much time and completely agree with you. Your complaint is very legitimate. We are currently testing and are very close to launching a self-registration for resident vehicles, although verifying ownership is something to consider. Do you have any thoughts on how verification should be implemented? Also, thanks for caring enough to review us. We want to make our product as great as it can be and your feedback makes this possible.

An easy solution to parking

Overall, Parking Boss has been a great help with any, and all parking at our property. We are easily able to reach out to the vehicles that are violating parking rules (Wrong parking spot, parked in a fire lane) so long as they have a parking permit. This has made it so we have to tow less, while keeping compliance much higher

PROS

- Ease of use. The website is simple, and can be navigated with ease - Privacy. Anyone with a parking permit will only have a parking spot, and license plate displayed if the QR code is scanned by anyone who is not an administrator for that particular parking portfolio. - Easy to keep track of vehicles and reach out to whoever is violating any parking rules or assigned spots before resorting to towing the vehicle - Parking spots can be set up ahead of time when setting up the software

CONS

- Searching up parking permit information is based on either permit, apartment, license plate, or parking spot. You can not just type what information you have into a single search bar. You must select the specific field you are searching in - Parking violations time out under the violation tab and will have to be searched directly by permit number, license plate, or violation number - Some features on the website are not immediately clear what they do.

Excellent for any HOA

We had major parking problem for years at our townhome association. We looked into this software for over a year and decided to give it a try. Today all streets at our closed gated community are perfectly clear, everyone got tired of scratching violation stickers off their windows, it works better than towing and actually towing infractions were reduced by 90% since Parking Boss introduction. Staff is absolutely amazing and responds really fast with all questions we have. Also they always try to implement ideas we have to better functionality for our community. It is perfect solution for any type of community

PROS

Ease of use, keeps the history of every violation or infraction, customized to any HOA type, promotes self-inforcement

CONS

Iphone App would be very beneficial, more compatibility with Apple products

Reason for choosing Parking Boss

More cost effective and self-inforcing after initial period of introduction
