Parking

The Parking function makes it easy to avoid parking tickets at schools, which administer their parking spaces with the parking company. Through the app, students and employees can get a valid, digital parking permit simply by entering their vehicle’s registration number in the app or in UMS Web. When the registration number has been entered, it becomes visible to the parking compnay, who then knows that the user is allowed to park at the school. Avaiable integration includes Parkzone and Apcoa.
