Pools

Pools is a capacity management feature used to limit the number of vehicles a certain group (pool) of monthly accounts can park at one location (or logical zone) concurrently. Once the Pool capacity limit is reached, any additional parkers linked to the pool are denied entry access to the parking facility.

Pools Example

Company ABC has 50 employees and the parking administrator has distributed 50 access cards, one for

each employee, and linked all 50 employees to the same Pool. Per the tenant agreement the Company

ABC has with the facility, they are only allowed to utilize 40 parking spaces at one time, so their Pool limit

is set to 40. Once 40 employees have scanned into the facility, the 41st parker will be denied entry.
