Never update a thousand permits by hand again.
Schedule annual, CPI, fixed or percentage increases once — ParkCanvas applies them across every permit, automatically and on time.
Automated rate increases.
Increases that apply themselves. Set an annual, CPI, fixed or percentage uplift once, scope it to a permit type or contract, and ParkCanvas rolls it out across every holder on the day it's due. No editing hundreds of permits. No missed contractual increases. No more years of frozen rates quietly eroding your margin. The uplifts you're entitled to get captured automatically — every permit, every time.
The problem, and the fix.
Today, without ParkCanvas
Parking prices are supposed to rise — with inflation, with contracts, with the market. But when you hold hundreds or thousands of permits, applying an increase means editing each one, or rebuilding a spreadsheet and re-issuing invoices, while making sure no contract clause is breached. It's so painful that operators routinely skip it: rates stay frozen for years, contractual CPI uplifts go unclaimed, and the business quietly loses real income to inflation it was entitled to recover.
With ParkCanvas
ParkCanvas automates the entire uplift. Define an increase once — annual, CPI-linked, a fixed amount or a percentage — scope it to a permit type or a contract, set the date, and the platform applies it across every affected holder automatically. Contractual increases happen on schedule. CPI uplifts are captured the moment they're due. Nobody touches a single permit, and not one increase is missed.
How operators actually use it.
The annual CPI uplift
A site's permits are contractually tied to CPI. Each year the increase is applied automatically to every holder on the right date — revenue the operator used to leave on the table is now captured every time.
A blanket percentage rise
Management approves a 5% increase across all staff permits. It's scheduled once and rolled out to a thousand holders overnight, with no manual editing.
Contract-based increases
Different corporate contracts carry different uplift terms. Each is configured to its own rule, so every account rises exactly as its agreement specifies.
Permit-type targeting
Executive permits rise by a fixed amount while resident permits track CPI — both handled in the same automated run.
Operational and financial payoff.
Run it with less effort.
- Schedule increases once and apply them to every permit automatically
- Support annual, CPI, fixed-amount and percentage methods
- Scope uplifts by permit type or by individual contract
- Increases land on the right date with no manual intervention
- A clear record of every uplift applied, to whom and when
Grow what it earns.
- Capture contractual CPI and annual uplifts you previously missed
- Protect margins against inflation automatically, every year
- Recover the real income lost to frozen, never-updated rates
- Eliminate the labour cost of manual repricing at scale
The bottom line.
The increases an operator forgets to apply are pure lost profit — money they were entitled to, surrendered to admin friction. Automating rate rises means inflation protection and contractual uplifts happen on time, every time, across every permit, without a person in the loop. Over a portfolio of thousands of permits, that's not a convenience — it's a material line on the P&L.
