SKIDATA, a world-leading access management provider, is offering three new services that open new perspectives for access systems. Gates and automated ticket machines become tools that can be managed and controlled selectively to help your business succeed Sales.Services, Operation.Services and Management.Services are the names of these new tools. Here's an example of how this might work:

Next Generation Parking

They are provided with an overview of the current parking options in a specific area, learn about other services that are available such as car washes, and can book a parking space directly. Regular customers are recognized at the gate and enjoy access to special services. With Sales.Services, operators can market parking more actively and on a more targeted basis.
Operator.Services provides the operators employees with a complete overview of all its systems, including those not provided by SKIDATA such as lighting. It detects potential problems in advance, and can access and control issues remotely or initiate maintenance activities. This ensures that resources are used efficiently, and keeps costs transparent and controllable.
In addition, with Management.Services our clients continually receive data from the access system directly in the Business Intelligence Tool. They thus benefit from extensive reports, can analyze data, and use it for targeted marketing campaigns," states Robert Weiskopf, SKIDATA board member. Open interfaces ensure that SKIDATA Services are seamlessly integrated in the clients existing infrastructure. Targeted marketing activities as well as a complete overview of all systems and business workflows significantly increase sales.
With Hosted Business Services from SKIDATA, there is no need to build your own infrastructure. Databases and services can be stored on a specially secured SKIDATA server. This allows you to securely back up essential operating data outside the company premises. At SKIDATA, we use our long experience to provide high security client databases. Robert Weiskopf: "Our clients profit from our secure servers and neither have to build up their own expensive security systems nor acquire permanently changing expert knowledge."

The Perfect Combination to Build on Success

The future of state-of-the-art parking garage management has already arrived. The first SKIDATA clients are using Hosted Business Services with steadily growing success. For example, NMBS (Park & Ride at Brussels central station) is supported by SKIDATA Services.
