Next-generation Shopping Centre Parking

ParkAdvance™ is a pay-on-foot system which is ideally suited to shopping centre environments where the customer experience is vital and reliability and flexibility are key. It features a new IP-based operating system architecture that enables the parking system to simply and directly connect with multiple technologies being deployed in car parks both now and in the future.

The WPS systems installed in Princesshay, and its attendant car park in Summerland Gate, are both managed by car park operators NCP.

Simon Jarvis, Managing Director of WPS in the UK, says that its systems are already proven in a large number of shopping centres across the UK: "ParkAdvance™ is, in effect, future proof, and its reliability and durability is such that it provides a safe, long-term investment for any potential purchaser wishing to operate and manage single or multiple sites."

Princesshay is a joint venture partnership between The Crown Estate and TIAA Henderson Real Estate.
