Introducing Flex Mode with the Parkonect system – a cutting-edge solution designed to provide drivers with a seamless, frictionless parking experience. For owners and operators, it offers flexible control options that deliver peace of mind. Paired with our improved ExpressPay functionality, Flex Mode simplifies payment processing while encouraging repeat visits, ensuring a smoother experience for both drivers and operators alike.

Flex Mode is powered by a dynamic integration of four innovative Flash technologies:

• PARCS: Parkonect
• LPR: Vision
• Digital Payments: ParkWhiz 
• Compliance: Flash Enforcement

These combined technologies create a robust and seamless parking solution for both drivers and operators, enhancing convenience, security, and efficiency.

Operating Modes

The Flex Operating Modes allow operators to control access, leakage, and security with adaptable modes.

• Operating Modes are set in the Parkonect Admin portal (under Garage Settings) to control the gates' up/down flow for the garage. 
• The operating mode can be set manually or on an automatic schedule.

Full Control Mode 

In Full Control mode, the gates remain down, ensuring there is no compromise on security and all revenue is captured with the gates down during both entry and exit.

Hybrid Mode

Hybrid mode offers a seamless gates-up entry which enables rapid driver intake while still ensuring revenue capture with gates down on exit. 

Free Flow Mode

The Free Flow mode provides the drive-in-drive-out experience, and Flash Enforcement is there to back up for any non-payments.

Express Pay

Express Pay, powered by ParkWhiz, is our streamlined digital payment platform. Upon entering the parking facility, drivers can easily enroll in Express Pay by scanning a QR code from a posted sign or their PARCS ticket. Once enrolled, the system automatically charges them upon exit, based on Vision’s LPR (License Plate Recognition) technology, which reads the vehicle’s license plate information for a hassle-free, contactless payment experience.
