At HUB Parking Technology, our global partnerships drive innovation and help us deliver advanced parking solutions to diverse markets. In this interview, we spoke with Adam Koziol, Partner Business at Prestige Systems in Poland, about their collaboration with HUB, the evolving Polish parking landscape, and some standout projects that showcase their expertise.
The partnership with HUB Parking Technology
Prestige Systems began its partnership with HUB in 2022. Though relatively new, Adam emphasizes how beneficial this relationship has already been for Prestige and its customers. “It’s great to connect with HUB’s headquarters because we’re always up to date with the latest solutions and applications. We can pass these benefits directly to our clients. Another advantage is that HUB is an international company, so they’ve already faced many of the challenges we see in Poland, allowing us to implement ideas for our customers faster and with more confidence.”
The parking market in Poland: a growing opportunity
Adam also provides insight into the parking market in Poland, which is still developing. “The parking market in Poland is relatively young. Many businesses have car parks, but they don’t charge customers yet, often because they don’t realize how much revenue they could generate. That creates a big opportunity for companies like ours to help them see the potential.”
As awareness grows, Prestige Systems is well-positioned to help clients tap into these opportunities. With HUB Parking’s advanced solutions, they are enabling businesses to turn their parking facilities into efficient, revenue-generating assets.
Popular technology and feature requests in Poland
When it comes to the technology most in demand, Adam notes that integration is key. “Clients often ask if we can integrate parking systems with their mobile apps, especially for shopping centers where loyalty cards are involved. We also get requests from hospitals and hotels to integrate parking systems with access control systems.”
This ability to connect parking with existing customer infrastructure is one of HUB Parking’s strengths, and Prestige Systems leverages it to provide tailored solutions for their clients.
Proudly introducing a project: Technical University of Łódź
Adam recalls a project he is particularly proud of – the implementation at the Technical University of Łódź. “It was a complex project involving three separate sites across the city. Each day, around 2,000 students, along with hundreds of teachers, use the parking facilities.”
What made this project stand out was the integration with the university’s existing database and student application. “The university already had an app that students used to pay for tuition fees. We integrated parking payments into this app and allowed users to input their license plate numbers, streamlining the whole process. We also developed a custom mobile solution for this site, so users can pay for parking directly through a web-based interface without needing to download any additional apps. All they have to do is scan a QR code on their parking ticket.”
This solution made the parking experience faster and more convenient for the university’s community.
Seamless execution: City Authority of Warsaw project
Adam is also proud of the exceptional after-sales and service support Prestige Systems provided for a project with the City Authority of Warsaw. “We were tasked with replacing outdated parking systems across multiple locations, but the customer needed us to minimize downtime to avoid revenue loss. We came up with a solution where both the old and new systems worked simultaneously, allowing the customer to test our system while keeping their existing one operational. Once they were confident with our system, we completed the switch in just a matter of minutes.”
Another unique aspect of the project involved the installation of five variable message signs (VMS) throughout the city, a task complicated by the lack of network infrastructure and power sources. “We had to use mobile routers for communication and special battery systems that charged from the streetlights, ensuring the VMS would stay powered during the day.”
Why choose Prestige Systems?
When asked why customers should choose Prestige Systems, Adam highlights two key reasons: “First, we always pick up our phones – no matter what time the customer calls. We pride ourselves on providing exceptional support whenever it’s needed. Second, we might be the only company in Poland sponsoring a go-kart team!”
With its customer-first approach, technical expertise, and innovative problem-solving, Prestige Systems is quickly establishing itself as a trusted partner in Poland’s parking market. To learn more, visit their website!
