Most unmanned parks collect less than 50% of potential revenue
due to outdated payment systems.
Smart parking management that reduces entrance congestion, lowers operating costs, and simplifies enforcement.
Yodel Pay by Plate enables automated parking operations for both attended and unattended lots. Track paid and unpaid vehicles in real time, streamline enforcement, and support both open and gated parking environments

How Pay by Plate Works
Pay by Plate links the transaction directly to the vehicle’s license plate at the time of purchase.
Visitor process:
- Visitors enter the park and park (no gate attendant required)
- Scan QR Code to purchase a daily pass - No app is required
- The visitor enters the license plate and pays.
- Apple / Google Pay is available to save time
- Annual passholders don’t need to do anything
- No need to display a physical receipt, validation is tied to the license plate.
License Plate-Based Enforcement:
Yodel makes enforcement simple by tying payment and validation directly to the license plate. Staff can scan plates from an existing mobile device to confirm whether a vehicle has paid, without needing additional hardware.
If LPR cameras are in place, validation can also occur automatically at entry points or during patrols. Unpaid plates can be recorded as violations, with outstanding balances connected to the plate for future review, follow-up, or payment.
