The benefits of RingGo

Collecting cash from car park machines is onerous:

• it's a costly process
• it's open to shrinkage
• the weight and value of coins create health and safety issues
• once collected, the cash needs to be counted, and, after all that,
  
• the banks don't want to bank the bullion anyway

Add to this machine maintenance problems - such as jammed tickets, vandalism and organised theft of cashboxes. It's no wonder the parking market is turning to Cobalt for the solution.

RingGo is a market leading pay by phone parking system designed specifically to meet the needs of the UK parking market. With relatively low initial capital investment, RingGo operates alongside and complements all existing on or off street parking machine infrastructures.

• No changes to your enforcement process
• Elimination of fraud associated with other electronic payment methods
• Automatic payment & reconciliation, with payment processing straight to your nominated collection account
• Range of customer billing options including credit card, debit card, and (yet to be introduced) direct to phone bill

Customised to your needs

The RingGo service is customised for each enforcement contractor, local authority or private client and includes:
