Parking Is A People Business: Technology Supports, Service Leads
The parking industry is a service-first, support-based business. While technology enhances the customer experience—helping with navigation, entry, pricing, and security—it must not replace our core commitment to customer care. As operators, we must serve all age groups, not just tech-savvy users. Technology is a tool, not the goal. TPN stays focused on service while identifying new forms of revenue loss in this evolving landscape.
