Enforcement · ParkXero Mobile
Walk the zone. The app does the checking.
ParkXero Mobile turns the phone your officers already carry into a license plate reader. Point the camera and every plate is read and checked against permits and payments as you walk — no typing, no squinting at windshields, no extra hardware.
- Reads plates faster than you can type them — recognition runs on the phone’s own camera, right on the device, with no per-scan fees
- One answer per plate — each read is checked against monthly permits, pay-by-plate sessions, event payments, passes, and the popular parker payment apps — all at once
- Walk the Zone — start a walk and the app reads every vehicle as you pass. Green means paid or permitted; flagged means take a look. A buzz and a tone tell you which, so your eyes stay on the lot
- Faster than paper — pay-by-plate and virtual permits verify at a glance, with no pay-and-display receipts to read or hang tags to check
- Works offline — permits sync to the phone before the walk, so a garage with no signal is no problem. A driver who pays mid-walk flips from flagged to green
- A person writes every ticket — the app flags, your officer decides. One tap opens a citation with the plate and photo evidence already attached
Point the camera at each plate as you walk

Verify QR codes
Swapped QR stickers are the fastest-growing theft in paid parking. Point the app at any posted sign and get an instant green, yellow, or red verdict for the zone you’re standing in.
Take payments anywhere
Turn any phone into a point of sale for event and daily parking. Accept tap and chip card payments*, and every sale lands in the same reporting as permits and citations.
Tickets, your way
Issue serialized pre-printed tickets with a scan, or print citations and receipts on the spot with a Bluetooth mobile printer. The parker scans the same QR code to pay.

*A Bluetooth card reader may be required. Tap to pay directly on the phone is available now on Android and coming soon to iPhone.
Monthly permits
Subscription parking, on autopilot
Monthly permit parkers are the heart of your revenue. ParkXero gives them a self-service experience — and gives you a billing engine that runs itself.
- Self-service parker portal — parkers sign up, pay, add vehicles, and manage their own permits
- Autopay, invoiced, and free permits — every billing mode is first-class, including the no-charge permits landlord agreements require
- Any credential — license plates, hang tags, QR codes, and NFC — with hang-tag inventory tracked from the box to the windshield
- Real-world controls — approval workflows, delegate accounts, per-zone capacity caps
- Hands-off billing — renewals, payment retries, and past-due follow-up run automatically
- Waitlists and parking passes — fill a full zone from the waitlist, and sell fixed-term passes alongside monthly permits
- Text and email reminders — renewals, receipts, and past-due notices go out automatically, with opt-in handled for you
Revenue reporting & BI
Know your numbers, down to the zone
Analytics is where this platform started — reporting isn't a bolt-on, it's the foundation everything else runs on.
- Live dashboards — collections, open invoices, active permits, top zones at a glance
- Permit revenue by zone, plan, and type — month over month, invoiced vs. collected
- Drill down — from the chart to the zone to the individual transaction
- Ask your data a question — type a plain-English question and get the chart, the table, and how it was computed. Pin the answers to a live dashboard. Included for everyday use
- Built to scale — heavy reports run against a dedicated copy of your data, so they never slow down live operations
The full suite
Everything a parking operation needs
One platform, fully integrated — every payment, permit, citation, and invoice lands in the same reporting.
Handheld plate enforcement
Free mobile app for iOS and Android. Automatic plate reading, Walk the Zone, real-time permit and payment checks, photo evidence, and citations — fully offline-capable. See how it works →
Event parking & payments
Per-event, per-zone rates with integrated event payments, including card payments taken at the gate from a phone — game day runs on the same platform as every other day.
Electronic tire chalking
Enforce “2 hour limit” parking without the chalk stick. The first plate scan starts the clock, every officer’s phone shares the mark, and cars that overstay or return too soon are flagged, with the times as citation evidence. Paid and permitted cars are never flagged.
Branded violation payment sites
Your brand on the payment page. Parkers scan the QR code on the ticket and pay in seconds — no phone calls, no mailed checks.
Scan & pay daily parking
Parkers scan a QR code and pay in one fast, easy step. No app download. No account setup. Fully integrated with enforcement.
Third-party payment apps
Plays well with the popular parker payment apps your locations already use — validated in real time by enforcement.
Integrated invoicing
Invoice corporate accounts, bill monthly clients, even pass management fees through to property owners — and every invoice lands in the same consolidated revenue reporting.
Disputes, decided on your policies
Parkers dispute a citation online and attach their proof. Our AI reviewer reads every receipt and photo, applies the policy you wrote in plain English, and recommends a decision with a confidence score. Your team decides — or routine cases resolve automatically within limits you set.
Text, email & voice notifications
Reminders, receipts, and alerts by text and email from your own accounts, with opt-in and opt-out handled for you. Automated voice calls the moment something needs a human ear. Every message logged.
Connects to what you already run
Gate systems and partner apps push paid vehicles straight into enforcement. Send events to Zapier, Power Automate, or your own systems the moment they happen.
Parking validation Coming soon
Let merchants and employers pick up the parking tab — validation support is coming to the same integrated platform.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
How does ParkXero pricing work?
There is no software license fee, no setup fee, and no monthly minimum. ParkXero earns a small per-transaction fee when — and only when — you collect revenue. And if a permit is free, so are we: no-charge permits cost you nothing.
Is ParkXero PCI certified?
ParkXero is intentionally architected to keep both us and our clients outside of PCI-DSS scope. Every payment field is rendered by our payment partners’ secure hosted elements — card data is captured and tokenized by their infrastructure and never touches ParkXero servers, or yours.
Who owns our data?
You do — and we put it in the contract. Your data is shared only with payment processors, and only as needed to process payments. If you ever leave ParkXero, we deliver all of your data to you or your new vendor. Your data should always be portable, and your contract should never be a trap.
Is our data used to train AI?
ParkXero’s AI-enabled features run on private model instances. Your data is never sent to public AI services, and only aggregated, anonymized data is used for product improvement. Nothing identifiable to your operation is ever shared.
Who is the merchant of record?
Your choice. By default, the operator is the merchant of record with payouts handled automatically. ParkXero can also act as merchant of record and insulate your organization from payment processing entirely — we support either model.
Where are support and development located?
In the United States. Development is entirely in-house — never outsourced, never offshored — and support is US-based with 24/7 paging available for after-hours emergencies. When something needs attention, it goes directly to the people who wrote the code.
What about uptime and disaster recovery?
ParkXero is cloud-native, deployed across paired regions with near-real-time data replication and fast failover, and we offer a contractual SLA. Our incentives are aligned with yours by design: if the system is down, neither of us collects revenue.
Do you support Canadian operations?
Yes. ParkXero supports Canadian operations for core features, and our cloud platform’s Canadian regions allow us to address data-residency requirements where they apply.
Does license plate recognition need special hardware or cost extra?
No. ParkXero Mobile reads plates with the camera on the phone your officers already carry, and the reading happens on the device itself. There are no cameras to buy, no per-scan fees, and no network connection needed to read a plate.
What happens to the license plates you read?
Plates are read only to check that a vehicle is complying with your zone’s terms, in a lot you manage. Reads that don’t result in a citation are purged once the check is done, usually within a day. There is no long-term plate database, no sharing between operators, no watch lists, and plate data is never sold. Our privacy policy spells out every commitment.
Which payments does enforcement check against?
All of them, at once: monthly permits, pay-by-plate sessions, event payments, parking passes, and the popular parker payment apps your locations already use. Officers see one answer per plate no matter where the payment came from.
Can we take card payments in the field?
Yes. ParkXero Mobile accepts tap and chip card payments for event and daily parking. A Bluetooth card reader may be required; tap to pay directly on the phone is available now on Android and coming soon to iPhone. Card data is handled end to end by our certified payment partner and never touches the app.
Will AI decide disputes without us?
Only as far as you allow. Out of the box, your team gets a recommendation, a confidence score, and a drafted reply, and your people make every call. If you turn on automatic resolution, it applies only within the confidence thresholds you set, and every action is logged.
