About Open Parking AI
Open Parking AI is open source parking management software (AGPL-3.0) for gated garages and lots. The car is the ticket: cameras identify the whole vehicle at entry and exit, so it does not depend on a readable license plate. No paper tickets, ticket machines or pay stations. When a match is uncertain, it hands the decision to a person instead of guessing.
Includes a Gate Agent that answers the intercom and watches for faults, Open Pass for express entry and exit, monthly billing, a rate engine, online validations, a hotel front desk module and a driver portal.
Integrates with Valet Parking AI and BellDesk AI: valet, self-parking and hotel guest requests run as one system.
A shadow lane runs beside an existing system, without touching gates or payments, and gives owners an independent count of every car.
Free software: no license per lane, no fee per space. Self-host or use the 72Knots cloud. Early access applications are open now; early access begins January 1, 2027.

O-Valet
O-Valet's valet parking app allows you to fully digitize your valet business using ticketless or traditional tickets. This means advanced revenue control (including gate arms entry and exit control, custom rates, and lost revenue reports), employee performance, and more. It also means a seamless customer experience from vehicle delivery to retrieval. By using any ticket type such as SMS, plastic, or paper, your valet operation will reduce your operating expenses while increasing revenue on the curb from every vehicle. As soon as your guest arrives, your valet driver issues a SMS, plastic, or paper ticket, and takes the guest's keys. Their vehicle is then logged into the O-Valet system. With the O-Valet app, everything is accounted for. No more missing keys or vehicles. No frustrated guests waiting. No inefficiency. Just a smooth-running system that helps to optimize your business and leave your customers feeling contented.

ParkingChief
ParkingChief is parking management software for garages, surface lots, hotels and valet operations.
Attendants run valet on a ruggedized handheld: vehicle intake with AI license plate recognition at check-in, key hook tracking, SMS and QR digital tickets, paper tickets where you still need them, and card payment taken on the device. Guests request their car by text and get an ETA.
It also runs scan-to-pay and pay-as-you-go payments, digital validations with a partner portal, monthly permits, enforcement, and an operator portal with live reporting. Every payment, validation, permit and ticket lands in one live session record per vehicle.
Unlike software-only valet platforms, ParkingChief also supplies the hardware: handheld terminals, LPR cameras, gates and kiosks. It also runs on the PARCS equipment you already own, so you can modernize without replacing it.

Cloud Valet AI
Cloud Valet AI is hosted valet parking management software for hotels, resorts, restaurants, and parking garages. Attendants use an iPhone app to check vehicles in, record vehicle and ticket details, photograph condition, assign parking spots, and track cars through retrieval. A live dashboard coordinates arrivals and guest requests, with paper or phone-number ticket lookup. Teams accept card payments, apply validations and service fees, and manage overnight hotel charges and monthly parker accounts. Owners review revenue, ticket activity, shifts, attendant reports, and multi-location roll-ups. An Oracle OPERA Cloud interface lets hotel front desks post valet charges to room folios; card payments route to the property's processor. An AI helper prepares fixes from dashboard requests for review and testing. The service is vendor-hosted, so customers do not manage servers. Pricing is $50 per location per month, with the first month free.
