What Pacific Parking Systems Inc does

Pacific Parking Systems, Inc. (PPSI) is a privately held California corporation headquartered in Lake Forest that designs, manufactures, and supports automated parking pay stations for the unattended revenue collection market. The company produces three core hardware models — the M400 (35–300 space surface lots), venSTATION (general-purpose on/off-street, parks, transit, universities), and System VII (large surface lots, garages, and remote locations) — all manufactured in California. All equipment is managed through venVUE, a proprietary web-based software platform providing real-time pay station status monitoring, remote active and passive monitoring, remote configuration, and reporting for revenue collection and reconciliation. The platform supports multiple pay configurations (Pay-by-Space, Pay-and-Display, Pay-by-License-Plate, Pay-on-Foot/In-Lane), PCI-certified credit card processing, cell phone and loyalty card payments, solar power with battery backup for off-grid installations, and customizable color/graphics.

The company's revenue model combines hardware sales and equipment leasing of pay stations, subscription-style access to the venVUE management platform, and ongoing maintenance and 24/7 customer support services. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. Go-to-market is direct sales led, with quote requests captured through the company website and supported by a regional sales and service team. Customers are concentrated in California and include state, county, and federal government agencies (City of Laguna Beach, ELAC Sheriff's Station, GSA, U.S. National Parks & Forests), educational institutions (Cal State LA, Irvine Valley College), parks and recreation agencies, mass transit authorities, and private operators across hospitality, healthcare, airports, and casinos. The company emphasizes long-tenured customer relationships, local service, and California-based manufacturing as primary differentiators.

PPSI is founder-led under President and CEO Glenn Mossman (parking industry since 1986) and CTO Vern Cash (20+ years pay station support), with a deliberately lean staffing model. It holds California OSMB certification, registered trademarks for venVUE® and "TOTAL PARKING SOLUTIONS®," and PCI-certified payment processing credentials. The company is privately held with no disclosed external institutional investors, no funding rounds, no acquisitions, and no parent company.
