Parkeon Unveils New US Market Positions and Expanded Offerings At The 2008 IPI Show

tubes-and-skyline.jpgParkeon recently exhibited at the 2008 IPI Show in Dallas, TX with the purpose of introducing the US market to new services, as well as reinforcing our message that we are a parking systems provider, not just a meter company. IPI is the largest parking trade show in the US, with over 2000 attendees and 200 exhibitors.

IPI 2008 New Parkeon Booth
Among the new developments we introduced were our new Pay-by-Space system, a shared cell phone transaction database integration with Verrus in PbS deployment, and an application called STAT Mapping (what Parkeon developed with Exyst as a partner) that uses a Google map overlay to help operators compare meter performance parameters in various sections of a city.   We also presented the first American-made Strada BNA, which was manufactured in Plano, TX by Flextronics.
 
Along with a brand new set of 8 sales brochures describing what Parkeon can do and the benefits of working with Parkeon, we also unveiled a brand new 20’x20’ exhibit designed to reinforce our new market position and message.
 
Key themes included our ability to integrate with allied technologies (cell phones, handheld enforcement devices, citation management software, in-street sensors), our new Pay by Space System, our Pay & Display System, the “Made in the USA” idea, and our environmental friendliness (stressing aspects beyond just our use of solar power technology).
 
dsc01705.jpgThe booth also had a simulated office environment in the back where we demonstrated ParkfolioNeo on two large flat-screen monitors. An actual park was set-up with five meters (3 P&D and 2 PbS) so we could show various alarms, payments (including cell phone payment), and PbS enforcement.
 
We also hosted a very successful client event in the Rain Forest exhibit of the Dallas World Aquarium.
The US marketing team is very thankful to everyone who helped make IPI 2008 a success. We now turn our sights to next year’s show, which will be held in Denver, CO!
