# Spot Parking > Spot Parking Inc. provides smart parking software for enforcement, license plate recognition (LPR), payments, analytics, and wayfinding, used by universities, commercial properties, hotels, resorts, airports, and similar multi-site parking programs. The canonical public marketing site is **https://www.spotparking.com**. For a complete list of indexed routes, crawlers may use **https://www.spotparking.com/sitemap.xml**. Crawling policy is defined in **https://www.spotparking.com/robots.txt** (currently open to well-behaved bots). ## Products - [Analytics](https://www.spotparking.com/products/analytics): Portfolio operations, utilization, and reporting for parking managers. - [Custom reports](https://www.spotparking.com/products/analytics/reports): Report builder, resizable Overview tiles, and CSV/Excel export. - [Enforcement](https://www.spotparking.com/products/enforcement): Parking enforcement that scales from handheld scan-to-cite to fully automated aerial + LPR coverage, including citation management, appeals, Spot Watch officer app, Mail-by-Citation, and physical gate integration. - [Scan to Cite](https://www.spotparking.com/products/enforcement/scan-to-cite): Handheld Spot Watch enforcement on any iOS or Android device. On-device plate detection locks the plate and AUTO-captures; live video stays on the phone. Then check rules and cite, or swipe a flagged queue (Speed Cite). Spot is SOC 2 Type II compliant. - [Payment processing](https://www.spotparking.com/products/payment-processing): Guest checkout, permits, receipts, and white-label checkout experiences. - [Automated Payouts](https://www.spotparking.com/products/payment-processing/payouts): Revenue is routed to the correct recipients at payment time, not in a monthly batch. Each party payouts daily, weekly, twice a month on any days, or monthly — no manual ACH or inter-party invoices. - [Wayfinding](https://www.spotparking.com/products/wayfinding): Live occupancy and turn-by-turn paths to an open stall, on Spot Parking App and the web map. - [QR codes](https://www.spotparking.com/products/wayfinding/qr-codes): Short prkg.link codes that operators retarget without reprinting. Lot storefronts, checkout, validations, citations, and notices. Existing vendor signs can be reused when the printed URL can be pointed at Spot. - [AI Intelligence](https://www.spotparking.com/products/intelligence): Not a fifth SKU. The occupancy model Enforcement, Wayfinding, and Analytics read. Aerial vision, LPR, and Spot Bot are nested pages. Rules (paid, permitted, time) are configuration, not a model. Parker Technologies call triage is a partner capability, not Spot. - [Aerial vision](https://www.spotparking.com/products/intelligence/aerial): Computer vision occupancy per stall, track events, and evidence stills. Down-to-the-space needs overhead coverage. - [LPR & matching](https://www.spotparking.com/products/intelligence/lpr): AI plate reads at the lane, on Watch, and on the lot. Fuzzy matching scores 0/O, 1/I, 8/B, and S/5 against sessions. It does not invent a plate. - [Spot Bot](https://www.spotparking.com/products/intelligence/spot-bot): In-product assistant in Admin and Manage My Visit. Operators get occupancy, eligibility, and review-before-write actions. Guests find sessions, pay citations, and file appeals. Does not quote pricing. Not the old website chatbot. ## Solutions by industry - [Universities](https://www.spotparking.com/solutions/universities): Campus parking and compliance at scale. - [Commercial](https://www.spotparking.com/solutions/commercial): Office towers, mixed-use, and commercial garages. - [Hotels](https://www.spotparking.com/solutions/hotels): Hospitality parking, guest arrival, and operations. - [Resorts](https://www.spotparking.com/solutions/resorts): Destination properties and high-touch guest parking. - [Airports](https://www.spotparking.com/solutions/airports): Airport-adjacent parking operations and traveler flows. - [Visitor invites](https://www.spotparking.com/solutions/visitor-invites): Host-to-guest parking shares. A parent permit spends credits; the guest claims a plate. ## How to evaluate Spot - [How it works](https://www.spotparking.com/how-it-works): LPR entry, in-lot tracking, occupancy, then an authorization check against permits, paid sessions, validations, and time rules. Matches stay logged; mismatches become citations with evidence in Admin, Spot Watch, and Manage My Visit. - [Platform](https://www.spotparking.com/platform): Operator, guest, and field apps on one event stream. - [Admin Portal](https://www.spotparking.com/platform/admin): Operator HQ for a single organization — live map, citations, products, and dashboards. - [Partner portal](https://www.spotparking.com/platform/partner): Portfolio mode for management companies and multi-site operators — one login, switch into each client’s Admin. - [Manage My Visit](https://www.spotparking.com/platform/manage-my-visit): White-label guest web for permits, sessions, and citations, branded to the operator, not the marketing site. - [ROI calculator](https://www.spotparking.com/calculator): Interactive estimate of revenue and operational impact. - [Security](https://www.spotparking.com/security): Encryption, transport security, and operational security practices. - [SOC 2 Type II](https://www.spotparking.com/security/soc-2): Independently audited security, availability, and confidentiality controls. - [PCI DSS](https://www.spotparking.com/security/pci-dss): Processor-hosted, tokenized checkout, card data never touches Spot servers. - [HECVAT](https://www.spotparking.com/security/hecvat): Higher Education Community Vendor Assessment Toolkit for campus procurement. - [Role-based access](https://www.spotparking.com/security/rbac): Custom roles across Admin Portal, Partner portal, and the Spot Watch field app. - [Data residency](https://www.spotparking.com/security/data-residency): US-region data plane with regional deployment options. - [Trust Center](https://trust.spotparking.com): External trust hub for policies, subprocessors, and procurement artifacts. - [System status](https://www.spotparking.com/status): Service availability and incident history. - [Accessibility statement](https://www.spotparking.com/accessibility): Commitments and contact for accessibility issues on the marketing site. ## Help, app, and contact - [Help Center](https://help.spotparking.com): Primary documentation and support for operators and parkers. - [Download the app](https://www.spotparking.com/download): Official mobile app links (App Store / Google Play as shown on the page). - [Digital parking permits](https://www.spotparking.com/permit): Marketing overview of digital permit programs. - [Contact / request a demo](https://www.spotparking.com/contact-us): Sales and general inquiries. ## News and editorial - [News](https://www.spotparking.com/news): Company announcements. - [Blog](https://www.spotparking.com/blog): Long-form articles; individual posts are listed in sitemap.xml. ## Legal - [Privacy policy](https://www.spotparking.com/privacy-policy): How Spot handles data for visitors and customers. - [Terms and conditions](https://www.spotparking.com/terms-and-conditions): Legal terms for the site and applicable services. ## Social - [LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/company/spotparking): Official company profile.
