Car Park Management System

Run parking facilities with live occupancy, automated fees, digital access and M-Pesa payments

Quick answer

What is the Car Park Management System?

Zinen Technologies’ Car Park Management System is a hardware-agnostic platform for commercial parking facilities, malls, hospitals, offices, residential developments, airports and managed parking operators in Kenya and East Africa.

It connects parking lots, zones and individual bays with entry and exit sessions, dynamic rate plans, reservations, permits, payments, violations, devices and notifications. The system can integrate with LPR cameras, RFID, QR credentials, boom barriers, occupancy sensors, kiosks and other equipment through a configurable integration layer.

For management, the dashboard turns parking activity into usable operational information: occupancy, revenue, average dwell time, device health, alerts and payment performance.
