Essential Features Every Office Tower Parking System Should Have 

For office towers, parking is more than a utility, it’s part of the daily work routine for tenants, staff, and visitors. Long queues, inefficient season pass management, or lack of visitor allocation can frustrate occupants and impact leasing value. 

For property managers and building owners, a smart parking system is also a revenue driver, security enabler, and tenant satisfaction tool. This is where TimeTec Smart Parking System provides the perfect solution, combining License Plate Recognition or LPR, cloud management, and AI-powered features to streamline parking for modern office towers. 

1. Seamless Season Pass Management 

  • Office towers rely heavily on season parking for tenants and staff. 
  • TimeTec Parking automates season pass management via LPR or RFID Tag, or ePlate, eliminating physical cards or stickers. 
  • Property Management or Building Owner Tenants can self-manage allocations through a cloud portal, reducing admin workload. 
  • Tenants can book, renew, terminate their season passes via TimeTec parking cloud portal or TimeTec parking app.  

2. Flexible Visitor Parking Integration 

  • Visitors should not struggle with parking. 
  • With TimeTec, visitor parking can be: 
    • Pre-registered via tenant app – iTower. 
    • Validated at reception or tenant offices. 
    • Auto-charged based on time spent. 
  • This ensures a smooth visitor experience and prevents abuse of parking privileges. 

3. Multi-Channel Payment Options 

  • TimeTec supports eWallet Direct (TnG, Setel, GoNet, Flexi) for LPR for cashless and touchless for highest visitors’ convenience, or  
  • Cashless kiosk for TnG card or Bankcards payments.  

4. Parking Guidance & Occupancy Monitoring 

  • Office hours create peak traffic at morning entry and evening exit. 
  • Video Parking Guidance System (VPGS) and vehicle counting ensure real-time bay allocation and reduce congestion. 
  • Availability is displayed on LED panels and tenant apps. 

5. Security & Access Control Integration 

  • Office towers require high-level security
  • TimeTec integrates with CCTV, LPR, and access control to track every vehicle. 
  • Security teams have audit trails of staff and visitor entries. 

6. Unified Accounting System  

  • TimeTec i-Account System handles both integrated property management accounting and parking operation accounting for better automation. 
  • E-Invoice compliance for both property management and multiple parking methods.  

7. Premium & Reserved Bays 

  • Reserved parking adds value for C-level executives, VIPs, or important clients
  • With TimeTec, reserved bays can be tied to specific tenants or visitor reservations, managed digitally with LPR/VPGS. 

8. Valet Parking for Corporate Guests 

  • Office towers hosting high-profile events often need valet support. 
  • With TimeTec Valet Mode, attendants can: 
    • Register guest cars quickly. 
    • Assign parking via VPGS. 
    • Retrieve vehicles efficiently when meetings or events conclude. 

9. Advertising & Corporate Branding 

  • Entry/exit barriers and kiosks can display digital ads or tenant branding
  • Corporate tenants can use these touchpoints for employee engagement or promotions

10. AI-Powered Efficiency 

  • Predictive analytics for parking demand across weekdays. 
  • Overstay alerts for visitor bays. 
  • Data-driven insights on tenant usage patterns and visitor traffic.

1. Unified Tenant Experience

3. Extended Access Control 

  • Beyond parking, tenants can use the same iTower App for: 
    • Turnstile access to lobbies. 
    • Lift control for secure floor access. 
    • Common doors within the building. 
  • This ensures one app for both parking and building access, streamlining daily operations.
