Now with overlay solutions & PARCS integrations moving to the gated parking footprint. • Payments separated by merchant/location and available per transaction or via the “virtual mobile wallet” payment instrument. • System Accessibility Examples: • Native mobile applications (iPhone, Android, BlackBerry, Windows Mobile 7) • Quick Response (QR) Code • Near Field Communication (NFC) • Interactive Voice Response (IVR), Dual Tone Multi Frequency (DTMF) • SMS/TXT message • In-Vehicle GPS Coordinates/Positioning • Landline • Helpdesk
