As hybrid work schedules become the norm, property managers are facing new challenges in managing the parking and storage of vehicles on private property. With some residents working from home and others commuting part-time, using flexible parking solutions that accommodate different needs has become essential. Property managers are now tasked with juggling service vehicles, personal cars, and ensuring enough parking spaces are available while maintaining order.

Hybrid Work and Parking Challenges

One of the most common parking concerns for hybrid workers is how to manage their vehicles when they’re at home all day versus when they’re commuting. On days when residents are working from home, they may need to park their car in their designated spot all day, but when they leave for work, their space should remain protected. Many properties struggle with ensuring residents’ spaces aren’t taken by other vehicles, leading to frustration and disputes. Additionally, the parking and storage of vehicles on private property can become even more complicated for residents who have multiple vehicles, such as a personal car and a service vehicle for their job​.

Service vehicles present another challenge. Stories of property managers issuing fines for improperly parked work trucks or service vans are common. This often stems from outdated parking systems that rely on plastic passes or window stickers. Not only are these difficult to manage, but they can be hard to see on larger vehicles like service trucks. With a digital parking solution, property managers can eliminate this headache entirely by tying parking passes directly to the vehicle’s license plate​.

Solutions for Service and Multiple Vehicles

Residents who rely on service vehicles for work may have specific requirements that differ from those who only use personal vehicles. Some may have larger trucks or work vans that are difficult to park in regular spots, while others may need to juggle multiple vehicles, including both personal and business vehicles. A digital parking management system makes it easier to accommodate these needs by offering tailored permits for service vehicles, allowing property managers to manage both service and personal vehicles without issue​.

By using license plate recognition, property managers can ensure that parking spaces are only used by authorized vehicles, preventing unauthorized parking and reducing the need for fines. This also simplifies the process for residents, who can easily manage multiple vehicles without worrying about window stickers or misplaced plastic passes​.

The Benefits of Digital Parking Solutions

Digital parking solutions not only provide flexibility but also help keep track of how many parking passes are in use compared to available spaces. This means property managers will always know how many spaces are left and can avoid over-issuing passes, ensuring there is always room for everyone. Residents can easily set up recurring payments, purchase additional passes for guest vehicles, and receive notifications when their spot is being used or if there are parking issues. For hybrid workers, service vehicle owners, and property managers, these solutions provide much-needed relief and efficiency.
