Job description

Company:

Based in San Diego, CA, IPS Group, Inc. is a leader in smart parking, mobility, and transportation technologies. Before “Smart Cities” and “IoT” were buzzwords, IPS was delivering secure cloud-based solutions to monetize and optimize high-demand curb-space and parking facilities. Our scalable solutions include a comprehensive suite of parking hardware, software and payment technologies to serve the ever-growing parking demands of both large and small cities.

In 2005, IPS introduced the Smart Parking Meter, launching a new era of parking management. Later, the Company introduced other Smart Parking solutions, evolving into a single-source provider of a comprehensive parking technology platform. Pay stations, upgrade kits, enforcement and permitting solutions, vehicle detection sensors, mobile payment, and other applications — all powered by the same collective intelligence of the IPS organically developed Data Management System. Today, IPS is proud to offer the industry’s only true, fully integrated Parking Management Suite.

IPS innovations have transformed Smart Parking operations from a tedious, time-consuming chore into a streamlined, proactive revenue-generating process powered by a single source with 360-degree management capabilities. In the modern era, where parking has become curb management, the IPS Data Management System has led the way to data-enhanced decision-making for sustainable cities. The Company boasts over 160 patents, including differentiated IoT offerings at the intersection of hardware and digital/mobile payment technologies.
