Resources

Parking's got friends, and now they have a seat at the table!

Running event parking takes more than just pavement. While the Event Portal helps your parkers know where to go, Resources help you manage items like signage, barricades, decorations, or anything else your event needs to run a seamless parking experiencing.

Build a custom resource library and add these items directly to events with ease, report on usage, and manage it all within the Dashboard. Keeping track of your traffic cones never felt so good!

How it works

With Resources you can create a company-wide resource library for any item you or another team might need for an Event. Simply create a resource with a name, add optional description and pricing details, and the item is ready to be added to any existing or new event in seconds! 

You can even add a custom description or set a price for the item with a flat or per unit rate:

• Per unit resources allow quantities (e.g., 4 signs at $150 each).
• Flat rate resources are a single fee and will default quantity to 1.
• You can also enter a negative amount to represent a discount (e.g., early-bird discount).
