Announcing Our Strategic Alliance with Ocra

March 8th, 2023 | Anja Reese

We have some monumental news to share! We’re finally ready to reveal something revolutionary we’ve been working on for a while now…

Parker Technology has officially entered into a strategic alliance with Ocra! And together, we’re introducing our innovative partner API to better serve customers experiencing redemption and access issues with third-party reservations.

However, here are the highlights:

  • While we were forming this alliance, our two companies mutually identified the need for an integration that would allow our customer service reps (CSRs) (or anyone answering calls via our software platform) to access essential transaction data (like customer name and reservation ID) in real-time
  • Building this integration allows us to more quickly and efficiently resolve friction for customers who push the “help” button with reservation-related issues
  • Through our API integration, comprehensive reports from Ocra’s data network enable users of the Parker Platform to access the exact information needed to help a customer enter or exit a facility most efficiently
  • Together, we integrate siloed technologies to deliver the best service to customers with reservation-related questions
  • This alliance enables us both to maintain our vendor-neutral positions in the market; we will work together to propel and accelerate growth through our existing relationships
  • Ocra’s mission to create connectivity in the parking industry aligns with our own, and we’re excited to be joining together with this forward-thinking company

“Ethan Glass and his impressive team have built a company with a compelling vision to help parking operators solve problems caused by the proliferation of technology. I couldn’t be more excited to join his board and help the company achieve that vision. This strategic alliance is a perfect example of the whole being greater than the sum of the parts and our customers will instantly appreciate the value our two companies create together.”
