Theatres and multiplexes
At the gate today
Everyone arrives in the twenty minutes before the show. One slip book or one ticket machine at the gate puts a queue on the road, and at night nobody can say how many slips were really sold.
Usually set up as: Token
With Paski
- One tap for each vehicle: a fixed price, taken as it comes in, in cash or by a UPI QR.
- A different price for the night show, the weekend or a festival release. It starts and ends by itself, on the days and at the hours you set.
- Each attendant opens a shift and closes it with the cash counted against the tokens issued.
- More phones at the gate on a big day: add an attendant with just a name and a mobile number.
Malls and shopping complexes
At the gate today
A stay runs from ten minutes to a whole day, in a basement where the signal comes and goes. Paper tickets get lost, and the fee is worked out in someone's head at the exit while the queue grows.
Usually set up as: By the hour, or by slabs of time
With Paski
- The ticket goes to the owner's WhatsApp with a QR. At the exit, scan it or type the last four digits of the number plate.
- The fee is worked out for you, by the hour or by slabs of time, with a day maximum if you set one.
- Monthly passes for shop staff and free passes for the management, matched on the full number plate.
- The Android app keeps letting vehicles in and out with no signal, and sends everything when the signal returns.
Hospitals and clinics
At the gate today
The gate never closes. A vehicle may stay an hour or four days, tickets are lost in the worry, and doctors' vehicles must never be held up.
Usually set up as: By slabs of time, or by the hour
With Paski
- Charge by the hour, by slabs or by the day, with a day maximum so that a long stay is charged fairly.
- Free passes for doctors' and staff vehicles: nothing to pay, and still counted.
- A lost ticket is found by the number plate, and the lost-ticket fee you set is charged.
- Shifts round the clock: each attendant hands over with the cash counted, and a difference has to be explained in a note.
Temples and places of worship
At the gate today
An ordinary day is quiet and a festival day brings thousands. The gate is run by a contractor or by volunteers, and the collection has to be shown to the trust.
Usually set up as: Token
With Paski
- A token gate: one tap for each vehicle, and a fixed price for each kind of vehicle.
- A festival price for the dates you set, well ahead. It starts and ends by itself.
- Every screen in Tamil, on the phones your people already carry.
- The day's collection by shift, ready to show and to export.
Markets and commercial streets
At the gate today
Hundreds of short stays, mostly two-wheelers, and one attendant for the whole lot. Shopkeepers park all day, every day.
Usually set up as: By the hour
With Paski
- A price for the first stay and then for each extra hour, different for each kind of vehicle.
- A QR board at the entrance: the owner scans it, types the vehicle number and gets the ticket, while the attendant does nothing.
- Monthly passes for shopkeepers and regulars.
- Out in seconds, by the last four digits of the number plate.
Events, exhibitions and fairs
Free for a short event
At the gate today
Three or four days, several gates, people hired for the week. Nobody wants to buy machines for that, and on the last night the cash has to match.
Usually set up as: Token
With Paski
- Free: the 15-day trial has the whole product, so a short event is over before it ends. No card is asked.
- Sign up today, issue tokens today. Each attendant signs in on their own phone with their mobile number.
- Take cash, or show a UPI QR for the exact amount, paid straight to your own UPI ID.
- When it ends, the report says what each shift collected. For the next event, pay by the day.
Airports, stations and bus stands
At the gate today
Vehicles are left for days. Paper tickets fade or get lost, and when a vehicle is claimed there is an argument about when it came in.
Usually set up as: By the day
With Paski
- A price for each day the vehicle stays, worked out at the exit.
- A photo of the vehicle as it comes in, shown again at the exit.
- The ticket stays on the owner's WhatsApp, and its page shows the time parked and the amount so far.
- A lost ticket is found by the number plate.
Municipal and public parking
At the gate today
A contractor takes the lots for a year and has to know, every evening, what each attendant at each location collected.
Usually set up as: By the hour, or a token
With Paski
- Each location is a branch, with its own prices and its own people.
- Every ticket is numbered, and every shift closes with the cash counted against the tickets.
- Reports by the day and by the month for each location, exported when they are asked for.
- Runs on the attendants' own phones. No machines to buy, repair or lose.
Apartments and gated communities
At the gate today
Residents' and visitors' vehicles share the same space, and the security desk keeps a register that nobody can search.
Usually set up as: By the hour, with passes
With Paski
- Residents' vehicles on a pass, matched on the full number plate.
- A visitor's vehicle gets a ticket with the time it came in, and pays by the hour if you charge.
- Find any vehicle inside by its number plate, or by its last four digits.
- A photo as the vehicle comes in, if you want proof of it.
