This design philosophy saves clients time, money, and complexity. For example, a shopping centre could schedule automated promotions such as time-bound pricing or specials directly on signage, or an airport operator could push alerts to clear specific parking zones in bad weather.
“Our customers can configure these scenarios themselves,” Ivan says. “We give them control without having to engage developers for every small change.”
Where many competitors rely on static systems requiring manual software changes, Park Agility’s configuration-first approach means new features can be delivered faster and at lower cost, while keeping the core platform stable and robust.
System Stability as a Superpower
Ivan describes his own professional superpower as stability. A principle deeply grounded in his early career at Siemens.
“In the trade-off between new technology and system stability, we will always protect the system performance first.” he admits. “Our system must run without failure. That’s non-negotiable.”
That mindset underpins Park Agility’s reputation for reliable performance. Continuous refactoring and optimisation ensure that even as new features and integrations are added, the system remains fast, robust, and dependable. “It’s like taking your car for regular servicing,” Ivan says. “Software needs the same attention.”
Industry Knowledge and a Cohesive Team
Another factor Ivan credits for Park Agility’s success is deep industry experience. “All our key employees come from the parking industry,” he says. “You can’t just take a new developer and expect them to understand parking automation. It takes years.”
That shared background creates a cohesive, high-performing team capable of solving complex problems quickly. Many of Park Agility’s engineers and managers, including Managing Director Brad Burrows, have decades of practical experience working across major parking operations in Australia.
Smart Cities and the Future of Parking Technology
Looking ahead, Ivan sees AI-driven sensors and data integration as key trends shaping the next generation of smart parking systems. Park Agility has already integrated camera-based sensors underpinned by AI and capable of detecting occupancy and reading licence plates. We are also exploring novel ways to use AI.
“This enables entirely new capabilities,” Ivan explains. “If a customer forgets where they parked, we can locate their vehicle using licence plate recognition. It also prevents misuse, such as when someone loses a ticket and claims they only arrived an hour ago.”
By integrating AI with Park Agility’s flexible management system, operators gain real-time insights into car park usage while offering better end-user convenience.
Future-Ready Systems Architecture
Over the next decade, Ivan expects Park Agility to continue refining its sensor and signage technology, particularly around LIDAR and camera-based systems. The company’s long-term roadmap includes new dual-camera sensors and the expansion of its SharePark™ platform, designed to make under-utilised parking spaces more accessible through smart infrastructure.
Even as the industry evolves toward electric and autonomous vehicles, Ivan believes the fundamentals of Park Agility’s approach will endure:
“There will always be cars that need to park and charge somewhere,” he says. “Whether they’re self-driving or electric, they’ll still need a smart system to guide them.”
“Our system’s flexibility means customers can configure almost anything themselves, without code changes. That’s a huge advantage in smart parking technology.” — Ivan Wunderlin, Chief Systems Architect, Park Agility
