# Smart Parking Management System — Black & White Studio

Printed QR parking tickets, slab-based pricing per vehicle type, automatic fee calculation at exit, live parked-vehicle tracking, and shift-wise revenue and audit reports.

## Live deployment (proof)

The system runs in production at **Police Plaza Concord Shopping Mall**, Road 144, House 02, Gulshan-1, Dhaka-1212 — one of the most prominent shopping malls in Dhaka. It handles daily bike and car traffic in and out of basement parking, with slab-based ticket pricing, Bangla/English thermal-printed QR tickets and per-shift revenue reconciliation. This is not a pilot or prototype; it processes real vehicles, real cash and real shift handovers.

## What it is

Most parking operations in Bangladesh still run on handwritten slips and mental arithmetic, which is where parking revenue leaks. This system replaces the slip book with two desks:

- **IN desk** — the operator types or scans the plate, picks the vehicle type, and a QR ticket prints in seconds.
- **OUT desk** — the ticket is scanned (or the plate typed), the system calculates the duration and fee from the entry record, payment is recorded and an invoice prints.

Every movement is tied to a numbered ticket, a signed-in operator and a shift, so the cash box can be reconciled against a report that cannot be quietly edited.

## Core features

- Keyboard-first IN desk — type or scan a plate, print the ticket, no mouse needed
- OUT desk with automatic duration and fee calculation
- Slab pricing per vehicle class (first-slab rate + hourly rate after) for bike, car, truck
- Printed QR parking tickets, thermal printer (58mm/80mm), Bangla and English
- Customisable ticket layout — property name, address, operator, rate rules, terms
- Live parked-vehicle list with duration and overstay visibility
- Full transaction history, searchable by plate or receipt number
- Shift-wise, per-operator and period revenue reports
- Per-operator sign-in (separate IN and OUT users) with an append-only audit trail
- Multi-area / multi-basement / multi-gate zones, each desk bound to its area
- Keeps working through a network interruption and reconciles when back online
- Standalone Android operation — one device with a built-in printer runs entry, ticketing, exit, payment and reports with no computer
- Android app also works as a roaming supervisor tool alongside a PC console — on-floor checks, live occupancy

## Platform split

The product began mobile-first and is now desktop-led in terms of development focus: roughly **70% of the work sits in the web console** (gate desks, reports, configuration) and **30% in the Android app**. That is a development split, not a capability limit — the Android app is a complete deployment option on its own, and many sites run entirely on a handheld with an integrated printer and never install the PC console at all. Both run against the same live data.

## Who it's for

Shopping malls · commercial and office buildings · hospitals and clinics · hotels and restaurants · campuses and institutions · third-party parking operators who must prove collections to a property owner.

## Hardware needed

**Minimum: one Android device with an integrated thermal printer.** That single handheld runs the complete parking operation — entry, ticket printing, exit scan, fee calculation and payment — with no computer, no booth and no cabling. This suits open-air lots, rooftops, temporary event gates, secondary entrances and any site with nowhere safe to put a desktop.

Alternative booth setup: a standard PC or laptop per desk, a 58mm/80mm thermal receipt printer, and optionally a QR/barcode scanner for the OUT desk. No proprietary boom gates or ANPR cameras are required, though existing hardware can be integrated.

## Deployment

Typical mall or commercial building: 1–3 weeks, covering site survey, rate configuration, ticket design, printer setup and operator training. The system can be hosted by Black & White Studio or deployed on the client's own infrastructure; the client owns and can export their data at any time.
