Weathering the Pandemic with Real-Time Data and Dynamic Pricing
Mark Pratt | Chief Operating Officer of One Parking
Our client called to say, ‘Mark, that graph you showed me in your office, can I get that to show our client? Did it really say we’re doing better than 71% of the other garages? I said, ‘Give me 30 seconds.’ I pulled up [ParkHub’s] Smarking BI, selected ‘Benchmark,’ set the date range, selected ‘Transient Only,’ screenshotted it, and emailed it to him, all in 30 seconds. This is a great tool.

One Parking partnered with ParkHub to leverage real-time data and dynamic pricing to gain a competitive edge in the rapidly changing parking industry. By integrating ParkHub’s Smarking BI and Automated Yield Management (AYM) solutions, One Parking achieved significant revenue growth and outperformed a majority of garages across the United States during the COVID-19 pandemic. The pandemic led to new commuter patterns, uptake of remote work, and changes in on-street versus off-street parking demand. ParkHub’s tools provided valuable insights to understand shifting parking trends and optimize pricing strategies.
The Solution
Industry Benchmarks
One Parking leveraged ParkHub’s real-time industry benchmark tool to analyze parking activity trends across regions and specific markets. This allowed them to accurately assess shifting patterns and tailor strategies that aligned with the new demand landscape.

Data Centralization and Analysis
ParkHub’s Smarking BI solution centralized data from various PARCS systems and online channels to provide One Parking with a unified platform for analysis. Benchmark and dynamic pricing tools allowed One Parking to generate performance reports quickly, comparing their performance to market standards.
