Ocra

No more siloed parking systems.

Ocra Strategic Alliance

Working together, the teams at Parker Technology and Ocra identified that siloed parking systems aren’t good for anyone. Our innovative partner API works to better serve customers experiencing redemption and access issues with third-party reservations.

We have mutually identified that customers who book through third-party apps experience friction when there is an issue on-site relating to redemptions or entry and exit processes. According to our data, 10% of all help calls are reservation related. We are now solving this industry-wide issue together.

Our Strategic Alliance

We work together with Ocra to solve an industry-wide problem and facilitate flow between multiple technologies for win-win-win outcomes for customers, operators and technology companies. Our alliance is founded upon the need for an integration that allows 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.

Partner API Features

Through our API integration, comprehensive data sets 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.

How It Works:

Ocra API Resolves Friction

Positive Customer Retention Rate: Our partner API allows parking patrons to have a positive customer experience. When customers have a positive experience, they are more likely to return.

“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.”

“Introducing Parker Technology into our parking facilities allows our patients to see those smiling faces whenever they need assistance.”

“I'd recommend to any of my peers to focus on parking operations and leave the calls to the Parker 24/7 Call Center.”

“We were excited to identify Parker Technology as a solution provider within the PARCS world. Due to the breadth of clients Parker Technology partners with, we are leaning on them as experts in this space to collaborate with us to provide the best solutions for our parking guests. They listen to us as a partner as we tackle the opportunities together; they are truly an extension of our own customer service team.”

“Ever since we started using Parker's service several years ago, our customer service levels have increased drastically. Having Parker in our active access lanes has allowed us to increase our facility access with automation technology. This allows us to redirect our staff to other duties instead of sitting in a booth and being more active and present throughout the facilities. Customers have positively commented about this interaction. The Parker team is always quickly accessible and there when we need them. We look forward to expanding the service in more facilities going forward.”

“Everyone at FlexePark is very excited about our new partnership with Parker Technology.

“The customer service we receive from the Parker 24/7 Call Center is above any call center I have ever dealt with, or any on-site company we have used.”

“Parker Technology provides a quality call service to several of our garages. Answering all the calls myself previously, I was worried about quality control and how the CSR’s would handle the incoming traffic. I continue to be pleasantly surprised by their professionalism to my parkers and attention to individual unique details at each of my locations. Using their back-end software is very user friendly and I can listen and track all the calls from each location, spending very little time a day.”

“Partnering with Parker Technology has been invaluable to the early success of our new gate arm systems. Their ability to provide our customers with excellent assistance 24/7 has been crucial to our operation.”

“Parker has helped One Parking reduce staffing costs for our clients and has enabled us to continue to provide top notch in the lane service at the same time. We have been using Parker for several years and are pleased to continue expanding our partnership with them across the country.”

“Parker has been a key piece of our continued success across all of our commercial parking garages. They are proactive, attentive, and professional. Their team consistently goes above and beyond to understand not only the equipment difficulties but also the operations and tenants at every location so they can better assist our customers, tenants and our team. They have become an extension of our team and we couldn't be happier to have found them as a partner!”
