IUPUI Case Study

Universities and colleges have numerous unique challenges related to parking, including a diverse clientele with a wide variety of permissions to park and robust event schedules. Taking intercom calls usually falls to someone who already has too much to do. That’s where we can be helpful.

Our software platform captures all the complex business rules surrounding permits and permissions, enabling our CSRs to quickly help their customers experiencing an issue and deliver it with a high level of customer service, freeing campus parking staff to focus on higher priority tasks.

Penn State’s Story

Penn State revolutionized their operations with our hybrid solution. Our flexible software allows them to deliver an excellent parking guest experience, 24/7.

“Mixing Parker Technology’s dependable platform, authentic concern and stellar customer service, has provided Penn State a recipe for on-campus success through all our operational changes over the last couple years.”

– Rob DeMayo, Director of Parking & Transportation at Penn State University

“When we started off, we didn’t really know what to anticipate. Again, we previously had manned booths handling questions. Just to give you an idea, when we signed up with Parker, they were answering intercom calls during the evening and weekend hours. We anticipated this to be only 250 calls/month. Today, we’re at 12,000 calls/month.”

“People can be angry. They’re in a hurry. They want to get out. They’re impatient. Maybe they’re inebriated, whatever the case may be…Every one of those where we’ve had a complaint, I’ve gone back and reviewed it personally and I have not come across one where the CSR has been rude, impatient, belligerent, or anything of that nature. They’ve always been professional, even when dealing with very angry and unpleasant people.”
