Monthly parking is often viewed as the most stable revenue stream in a garage or lot. Once a parker signs up, the assumption is simple: predictable income, minimal effort.

In reality, many operators are spending far more time managing monthly parkers than they realize—and that hidden operational cost adds up fast.

If you couldn’t make it live—or you want to rewatch and share with your team—the full recording is now available on-demand.

In this session, Zephire President Vicki Pero and Co-Founder Meghan Maynard walk through practical, operator-friendly strategies to help you fill unused monthly inventory without permanently discounting your rates.

Monthly parking churn is often caused by small, preventable breakdowns—failed payments, missed renewals, or unclear grace-period rules. This post breaks down how to reduce involuntary churn by tightening renewal workflows, automating payment recovery, and making reactivation simple for parkers. Learn how operational clarity and self-service tools can keep good customers active without increasing support burden.

Monthly parking is one of the fastest ways to stabilize revenue, simplify operations, and improve the parker experience. The challenge isn’t demand—it’s execution.

The Zephire team is heading to Miami for the 2025 Florida Parking & Transportation Association (FPTA) Annual Conference where leaders across municipalities, universities, healthcare institutions, private operators, and solution providers will explore the future of parking and mobility.

Hybrid work has permanently reshaped commuter patterns. Garages that once filled by 8 a.m. now see mid-week surges and Friday vacancies. Monthly demand hasn’t disappeared—it’s just redistributed. Operators that adapt pricing, access rules, and inventory to this new rhythm are capturing the most consistent revenue and loyalty.

No one likes to pay bills – that’s no secret. It’s a time-consuming process that takes our attention away from things we need and want to be doing. Luckily, implementing a web-based, parking management system can make this process a lot easier for your customers while also adding efficiency to your back office processes. Not only is ease of use a factor in maintaining and retaining customers, but now more than ever safety is key– especially in the parking industry, where we are seeing a flood of returning monthly parkers.

According to Statista.com, in the year 2020 the United States saw 1,001 data breach cases that left 155.8 million individuals affected. This staggering number proves just how vulnerable we are to cyber security attacks.

Data security is a top priority here at Zephire whether that be related to PCI Compliance or protecting customer information such as usernames and passwords. The good news is that making small changes in your everyday technology usage can have a powerful impact on the level of protection you have to combat these cyber security attacks.

Parking is one of the first and last touchpoints for visitors, tenants, students, and patients—and it can make or break their overall experience. Yet too often, operators rely on outdated tools that create bottlenecks, lose revenue, and frustrate customers.
