Introducing Sphere Commerce On Demand For Gated Facilites
Through its Sphere Technology Platform, SP+ is introducing a new touchless entry process for gated facilities. With the implementation of Sphere Commerce On Demand for gated facilities, daily parkers will now be able to enter and exit the facility through the use of the Parking.com mobile app, eliminating the need to pull a ticket. Beginning in February, monthly parkers will also be able to access the garage though the Parking.com app. Until then monthly parkers will continue to access the garage as they do today.
