Concord Parking X-Mas Hamper Drive

January 2, 2023 by dviramontes Leave a Comment

Concord Parking got in full “holiday-spirit mode” and prepared the sleds, or in this case, our Concord cars, to deliver happiness throughout our communities.

It was YVR’s 12th annual Holiday Hamper Drive in partnership with Quest Outreach Society. This year, YVR set up a “Quest Pop Up Market” where the Concord team stopped by to shop the shelves, fill a hamper bag, purchase the goods, and help reach the goal of 1250 hampers!

Each year, we are always inspired by the generosity of our partners, employees and community that come together to support great initiatives like this one.

Way to go, Concordians!

At Concord Parking, we are constantly looking for ways to give back to the communities we work in.

Concord Parking Launches New SMRTpass Solution at Kwantlen Polytechnic University

Concord Parking is now providing parking enforcement and parking management services for Kwantlen Polytechnic University (KPU) on four of its campuses in British Columbia: Richmond, Surrey, Cloverdale, and Langley.

KPU has become the flagship client of Concord’s new SMRTpass technology, which lets users quickly pay for parking or validate their license plate using only QR codes without having to download an app. As part of the Concord CTRL parking management software, this has proven to be an ideal solution for KPU’s parking challenges.

“We were able to understand the challenges and opportunities of managing parking services for students, faculty, staff, and visitors across multiple KPU campus locations. A successful parking program requires a modern, efficient operation leveraging the latest in parking innovation and technology. Working in partnership with KPU, we successfully deliver a superior parking management program focused on exceptional user experience, efficiency, and revenue maximization,” said Concord’s Director of Product Innovation, Marc Postlethwaite.

November 26, 2021 by Alex Lowe Leave a Comment

Concord Parking is officially in Edmonton, AB, with the opening of a new branch. While we already have a number of loyal and long-standing clients in the area, we are now adding an operations team to help support the growth in the region.

The branch currently serves clients in retail such as IvanhoeCambridge, and the City of Edmonton, our newest partnership, which provides services to the Bylaw and Parking Enforcement Division. The operations team consists of roughly 75 staff with the goal of enhancing services and building new partnerships.

“Expanding into the Edmonton market allows us to better serve our existing Paladin Clients that may have parking management needs,” Concord President Michael Murray said. “It also allows us to showcase our specialized parking management software in a new market to bring greater efficiency and profitability to our Clients, and a better parking experience for our Customers.”

Concord Parking is committed to quality and continuous improvement, striving to find the best solution for our client’s ever-changing needs. Our innovation includes an easy-to-use permit system that allows tenants to register their visitor’s license plates themselves, and a program to self-managed permit accounts for tenants. This gives property managers the capability to assign, suspend, and remove permits in real-time.
