What Automated Parking Solutions does

AutoMotion Parking Systems, doing business as Automated Parking Solutions, is a privately held limited liability company founded in 2005 and headquartered in West Hempstead, New York. The company designs, sells, installs, and maintains custom automated, semi-automated, and mechanical parking systems for real estate developers, architects, and property owners. Its product portfolio comprises four fully automated platforms (Universal Parking, Lateral Parking, Shuttle Parking, Tower Parking) each engineered for different site constraints such as narrow footprints, high headroom, or high traffic; the Auto-CP semi-automated system co-developed with German technology partner STOPA; and a 15-SKU line of mechanical stackers. Underlying technology combines lift/shuttle mechanics, pallet-based vehicle storage and retrieval, automatic pallet drainage, galvanized components, and computerized guidance software with remote maintenance monitoring; the company reports 99.7% historical uptime across more than 1,000,000 vehicles parked.\n\nThe business model is built on custom-engineered, project-based sales of large parking systems, supplemented by a 15-SKU mechanical stacker catalog, development advisory services (FAR analysis, underwriting support, cost engineering), installation, and recurring maintenance contracts. The company has also extended into leaseback and managed-parking arrangements through an affiliated firm, introducing a recurring-revenue and financing layer on top of one-time hardware sales. Go-to-market is enterprise field sales targeting developers and architectural firms across North America and select European markets (Germany, Spain, Portugal, United Kingdom, Luxembourg, and Turkey).\n\nThe leadership team includes Managing Director Sam Stelzer, Director of Development Daniel McCrossin (15+ years tenure), Director of Sales Billy Billitzer, and Vice President of Sales Alex Mehl (joined 2020), representing 60+ years of combined automated parking industry experience. To date the company has deployed 13 fully automated parking systems and 632 storage projects globally, executed as one-off developer engagements with long sales cycles.
