Free ride for the rescue service

In emergency situations, a few seconds can make a big difference. This is why, for example, a barrier at the entrance to the emergency room leads to unnecessary delays. The collaboration between ParkRaum-Management PRM GmbH from Erlangen and the industry leader in the field of automatic license plate recognition, Arivo, is now making it easier to enter and exit Hof Hospital. This also benefits staff and patients' visitors.

"The future definitely lies in license plate recognition and barrier-free parking systems," says PRM Austria CEO Marko Guljelmovic. With the Austrian company Arivo, the ParkRaum-Management PRM GmbH has found an innovative business partner.

"Our customers' employees can easily operate the software after training, even without any previous technical knowledge," says Arivo Managing Director Dominik Wieser. "Discussions with our partner companies show us that we have succeeded very well."

Cooperation between the best in the industry

As the parking systems previously used by PRM had reached their limits, the company was looking for a new partner who could provide the necessary technology for the optimal implementation of complex orders. This was achieved with the acquisition of Arivo into the circle of technology partners.

PRM now has access to a barrier-free full service package. It includes the industry's best license plate recognition for convenient entry and exit, an e-commerce platform for billing registered users for parking fees and the PayApp for payment via smartphone. The parking solution can always be adapted precisely to the needs of the respective customer. Even difficult customer requirements are no longer a problem.

The elimination of barriers means that vehicles are no longer tied to predefined routes. Despite the very different approach angles , Arivo's license plate recognition system still manages to read almost 100 percent of license plates correctly - even those that accidentally leave the system in the entry lane. Organization, customer service and the entire enforcement process - if a customer does not pay the parking fee - is carried out by PRM. An accommodating approach with a sense of proportion is the top priority when dealing with patients and employees of the clinic - even in the event of parking violations.
