by Shane Henson — August 22, 2011—Brivo Systems LLC, a provider of Software as a Service (SaaS) applications for security management, recently announced that EasyPark, a parking management company for the City of Vancouver, British Columbia, will utilize Brivo ACS WebService to manage access to all their unmanned, monthly parking facilities located throughout the city.
EasyPark manages a total of 49 parking facilities for off-street parking—underground, multi-story, and surface lots—for the City of Vancouver and third-party landlords. They have implemented Brivo ACS WebService in five of their facilities, two more are presently being installed, and two are planned for installation, Brivo officials say. The Brivo system will manage access at the nine facilities for approximately 1,100 vehicles on a daily basis.
EasyPark’s management said the company uses the Brivo system to maintain firm control on access to the parking facilities and to maximize revenue. Each month, the company reviews their accounts receivable reports. If a customer hasn’t paid for the upcoming month, and after sufficient time informing them of the situation, EasyPark staff can quickly and easily prevent access for the delinquent account to the parking facilities—which almost always prompts immediate payment.
Like EasyPark’s personnel, facilities managers involved in security and access management could benefit from using Brivo ACS WebService. Whether the issue is a parking facility system that is not as efficient as it could be, or some other access control inefficiency, the solution reportedly offers reliable, real-time access control for all types of facilities and building installations.
