Figures from 25 years of our event parking and booking operations.

The platform

Everything your parking needs, on one system

Set it up once and it runs the whole journey: the driver books, your team manages, and the gate checks every plate.

Branded booking sites

Your own parking site in your colours and crest. Drivers book against their number plate and get an instant confirmation.

ANPR gate app

Any iPhone or Android becomes a plate reader. Green means in, red means stop, even with no signal.

Live control room

Booked, arrived and spaces left for every car park, day by day. Capacity is enforced everywhere, so a space is never sold twice.

Fixed ANPR cameras

For permanent lanes: all-weather, day and night capture on 4G or Starlink, ready to lift a barrier.

Gate control

Unbooked vehicles, flagged on arrival

Handheld and tablet ANPR reads plates continuously at the gate and checks each one against the latest booking list, even when signal drops. An unbooked car is identified as it arrives, not after the event.

57,000+Plates checked at the gate
26,000+Vehicles admitted
10,000+Unbooked vehicles flagged

Since our ANPR gate app went live in June 2026, to 19 September 2026. Unbooked vehicles are counted once per site and day, allowing for camera misreads.

Red means stop

A plate with no booking returns a clear red NO PAY result, backed by a warning tone and vibration on the steward's device.

Every refusal on record

Each vehicle that is not admitted is logged with its plate, time, car park, steward and, where available, GPS location. Records are held on the device without signal and sent as soon as it returns.

Turn unbooked cars into bookings

Stewards can sell an unbooked driver a space on the spot and record it, or look up the customer by email and add their plate so they are not stopped again.

Patrols and closing sweeps

Roaming stewards can check parked cars without counting them against capacity. At the end of the day, a steward can sweep the car park and every car scanned is sorted for a team lead to review.

Customer communications

Keep every driver informed

Confirmations are sent the moment a customer books online. When plans change, your team can update booked customers by email or text in a few clicks.

Email

Automatic booking confirmations

Every booking made online is confirmed by email automatically, with follow-up emails for plate changes, cancellations and season passes. Customers can reply directly, and their message reaches your team.

SMS

Text confirmations and two-way replies

When a customer gives a mobile number, parktec checkout orders are confirmed by text as well as email, with the car park, gate and arrival slot for each vehicle. Customers can text back, and replies land in your team's inbox.

Updates

Updates when plans change

Your team can message booked customers by email, text or both, choosing who receives it and merging in names and booking details.

WhatsApp

Passes on WhatsApp

Confirmations and passes on WhatsApp, for drivers who would rather keep everything in the app they already use.

How it works

Three steps, from booking to barrier

  1. 01

    Drivers book online

    They choose the day, enter their number plate and get an instant confirmation. Their plate becomes their ticket.

  2. 02

    Your team runs it live

    Set capacity per car park and per day, watch bookings fill, import lists and message drivers from one dashboard.

  3. 03

    The gate checks the plate

    Stewards scan the plate and parktec shows green for go or red for stop in well under a second, even offline.

Why parktec

Built by people who run car parks

Not a generic app bolted onto parking. parktec comes from the team behind Event Support Team and Big Parking, shaped by years on real gates, so it holds up when it's busy.

Fully white-label

Each venue gets its own branded site and login. Your name out front.

Oversell-proof

Capacity is enforced everywhere, per day. You never sell a space twice.

Works when the signal doesn't

The gate app reads and checks plates offline, then syncs when it's back.

Secure UK data

One database hosted in the UK, GDPR-minded and ICO registered.

Real support

A team that knows event parking, on hand when the day matters most.
