Transforming parking fee management: OPC's digital solution for enhanced efficiency and customer satisfaction

The challenge

OPC faces a huge challenge with sending parking fees. With thousands of parking fees being issued daily, the traditional system by traditional mail was beginning to falter, especially regarding the fees for drivers of a leased car. The delays in forwarding fees to drivers through leasing companies caused a lot of complaints and unnecessary reminders with late payment penalties, again sent by traditional (post)mail.

This led to frustration for OPC, the leasing companies as well as the drivers. As a result, OPC saw the need to change their approach to parking fees and were looking for a partner who could help them achieve this goal.

The solution

Unifiedpost, a digital solutions provider, came up with an innovative solution for the parking fees towards drivers of a leased car, that not only met OPC's challenges but also transformed the parking management industry.

Traditional printing and scanning methods were abandoned by Unifiedpost's UPfleet solution: a digital platform that automates the process of sending fees, with all the necessary information. Fees are sent directly to the driver's mailbox, reducing the handling required by the leasing company.

Thanks to this digital solution, fees within the leasing context are handled faster, giving drivers more time to pay and reducing the risk of late payment penalties. Moreover, the process has become much more convenient for leasing companies, as they no longer have to scan or print the fees.
