Carparkly lets students prebook parking before they arrive so they are not circling the campus and rushing into classes, labs, and exams. Meanwhile, the university gets full operational control, real time visibility, and enforcement tools at no setup cost.
Parking shouldn’t decide whether a student misses an exam, arrives late to a lecture, or feels unsafe walking further because they couldn’t find a spot.
Students circling and arriving stressed
Parking shouldn't decide whether a student misses an exam, arrives late to a lecture, or feels unsafe walking further because they couldn't find a spot.
Unclear rules leading to complaints
Without clear, digital rules, disputes pile up and enforcement teams spend more time on complaints than on actual operations.
Unauthorised parking in controlled zones
Without verified bookings and digital enforcement, controlled zones are routinely used by unauthorised vehicles.
Limited real-time visibility
Security and facilities teams have no way to see who's parked where, which spots are available, or what's happening across campus in real time.
Revenue leakage from overstays
Unmanaged parking and overstays mean lost revenue every day. Without automated detection, enforcement is slow and inconsistent.
Carparkly turns parking into a predictable, bookable, enforceable system.

FAQ
Questions? Answered
Can we set our own dynamic pricing?
Yes. You can enable Dynamic Pricing and set your own pricing rules by zone and time window (e.g., peak hours, off-peak, daily caps). You stay in control of the pricing logic and can update it anytime.
Can we automate overtime collection?
Yes. When overtime is enabled, the platform can detect overstays and apply overtime charges automatically, based on the rules you set (including grace periods). This improves fairness, reduces revenue leakage, and reduces disputes because every event is logged.
Can we issue tickets or fines directly from the app?
Yes — for authorised university officers or approved staff roles. If a vehicle violates parking rules (wrong zone, overstayed, unauthorised parking), authorised users can issue tickets/fines directly through the platform with a clear digital record.
Can we resolve violations and disputes inside the platform?
Yes. The platform supports an in-app workflow for handling violations, including viewing evidence and booking history, messaging the user, and tracking the case status (e.g., raised → reviewed → resolved → paid/unpaid).
Do we need to hire more rangers or add new hardware?
No new hardware is required for the platform to operate. The goal is to reduce routine enforcement workload through verified bookings, check-in/out logs, and digital workflows.
Can we run both paid and free parking?
Yes. You can set up zones as free, paid, or mixed (staff-only, student-only, visitor time-limited) with different rules per zone.
Can we assign managers for different parking zones?
Yes. With the Assign Manager system, you can create manager accounts and give permission-based access to specific zones/spots so the right team controls the right areas.
What booking details can our staff verify?
Staff can verify booking validity, time window, check-in/out status, and vehicle details such as number plate/rego (based on your configured requirements).
How fast can we start a pilot?
A pilot can be launched quickly after confirming zones, rules, and staff roles. We typically start with one zone or one user group and expand from there.
