Automated Parking Management

The collaboration between OTRA and GEA PARK introduces a transformative approach to parking management. Parking operators using OTRA and GEA PARK can now offer automated booking management features. These include real-time space availability and frictionless access to OTRA’s extensive network of over 24,000 carrier plates. Integration within the GEA PARK interfaces means that booking requests, arrivals and departures are processed automatically, including gate operations and payment transactions managed effortlessly by OTRA. This strategic development significantly simplifies the complexities of access and payment management, prevents overbooking, and maximises the efficient use of parking resources.

Real-Time Insights & Guaranteed access for Transport Companies

For transport companies utilising OTRA platforms, this integration equates to having real-time insights into the availability of parking facilities, streamlined fleet entry/exit tracking, and simplified payments, all leading to the issuance of a single invoice that facilitates VAT recovery. The assurance of reserved spots, planned stays, and automated access, coupled with real-time truck tracking and automatic payment settlement, underscores OTRA’s dedication to reducing operational costs and enhancing traffic flow. This initiative leads the way to a more profitable and environmentally friendly fleet management. Carriers working with OTRA can now report back in real-time the parking stays and movements, for enhanced control and visibility of high value cargo.
