Parking that keeps shoppers shopping
Maximise turnover on free zones, monetise overflow parking, and give your tenants easy validation tools, all from one platform.
The problems shopping centres actually have
Retail parking has to turn over for shoppers and earn from everyone else. OPARKO is built around the pressure points generic parking software ignores.
All-day commuters hog spaces meant for shoppers
Set a free, time-limited window for genuine shoppers with automatic LPR overstay detection, while everyone who parks all day pays in the overflow.
Validating customers is clunky at the till
Each tenant gets a validation login and can extend, discount or waive a stay in seconds, straight from the till.
The car park earns nothing out of hours
Monetise overflow and off-peak hours with QR or barrier-based paid parking, so quiet periods still generate revenue.
No visibility of occupancy or revenue across zones
Live occupancy feeds your entrance signage and one dashboard brings every zone together, with exportable reports for centre management.
Live across every zone in about a week
No ground sensors and no ticket machines. The camera sees the car, and the warden only heads out when there is something to check. We map your zones, mount the cameras, and hand you one dashboard.
Map your zones
We walk the site with you and mark free zones, tenant areas, and paid overflow, then set the free window per zone.
Mount the cameras
LPR cameras go up at entries and zone boundaries. No ground sensors and no ticket machines to maintain.
Onboard tenants
Each retailer gets a validation login so they can extend, discount, or waive a customer stay straight from the till.
Go live
We configure the rules, signage, and dashboard. Most centres are live within a week.
Let it run
Payments and reports run on their own. Our wardens handle enforcement when the camera flags a violation. You manage every zone from one screen.
Maximise turnover, monetise overflow
Free timed zones that turn over, paid overflow that earns, and tenant validation that takes seconds.
Time-limited free parking
Set a free window per zone (e.g. 2 hours). Overstay detected by LPR. If a car overstays the free window, the warden is alerted and places the parking charge on the windscreen.
Tenant validation
Tenants issue validation codes to their customers. Validated stays don't count toward the free limit, or get discounts.
Paid overflow zones
Convert your overflow car park into a revenue stream with QR or barrier-based paid parking.
LPR across all zones
Cameras read plates automatically. No tickets needed. The camera finds the violations, so the warden spends time where there is actually something to check.
Occupancy displays
Connect real-time occupancy to LED signs at entrances and on the approach roads. Reduce circling and congestion.
Management dashboard
One view of all zones, all transactions, all enforcement actions. Exportable reports for centre management.
Everything you need in one platform
Shopping centre parking, answered
What retail and centre managers ask before switching to OPARKO.
How does free parking stay free for genuine shoppers?
You set a free window per zone, for example two hours. LPR reads each plate on entry and exit, so shoppers within the limit are never charged and never ticketed. Only overstays trigger a notice.
How do tenants validate their customers?
Each tenant gets a simple validation login. They register a customer plate from the till and that stay is extended, discounted, or made free, without counting toward the free limit.
Do shoppers need to download an app?
No. Free zones need no action at all, and paid overflow accepts QR codes and the payment apps drivers already use. There is nothing to download and no account to create.
Can I earn from overflow without deterring shoppers?
Yes. Keep your main zones free and time-limited to protect turnover, and price only the overflow area. All-day commuters pay while your customers park free.
How long does it take to go live?
Most shopping centre setups are live within a week. We handle the camera install, zone configuration, signage guidance, and tenant onboarding.
