Iris Turns Pay Station Activity Into Real-Time Parking Operations
T2 pay stations report into Iris. It’s where operators see equipment status, collection needs, maintenance alerts, and revenue activity while the day is still happening—not after the month closes.
That makes Iris the operating layer for your curbside and lot parking. It’s also where pay station activity meets mobile payments and the rest of your parking ecosystem.

Why Operators Choose T2 Iris Parking Management Software
Every pay station, mobile session, and enforcement action generates data. When it lands in separate systems, every decision waits on someone to assemble it.
Iris brings it into one view—so your team can see what’s happening, prioritize what needs attention, and act before parkers notice a problem.
Know Where to Send Them
Collection thresholds and maintenance alerts tell crews which machines need attention, so field time isn’t spent on machines that are fine.
One Operational View
Payments, equipment status, occupancy, and enforcement activity in a single platform.
Know Before They Do
Equipment, collection, and maintenance alerts surface issues before they cost you a transaction.
Reporting That Runs Itself
Build dashboards, schedule recurring reports, and deliver them to stakeholders automatically.
Parking Revenue Reporting and Real-Time Operational Data
Iris gives every user a view built around their role — a director watching revenue trends, a supervisor watching equipment status, a finance team pulling reconciliation.
Custom Dashboards
Choose from more than 3,000 user-controlled widget combinations across over 90 operational metrics, so the right information is readily available at every level of your operation. Track metrics such as paid occupancy, utilization, and turnover, or roll multiple branch operations into a corporate-level view. Dashboards are built in the interface — select a widget, set your criteria, and save. No code required.
Reporting & Analytics
Turn dashboard data into reports on demand or on a schedule. Export to PDF or CSV, automatically deliver reports to stakeholders, and consolidate information across multiple payment sources.
Monitoring & Alerts
Route notifications to specific staff via email alerts, so the right person knows when attention is needed.
Intuitive Maps
See pay station status by location and build collection and maintenance routes around which machines actually need attention.

Remote Parking Meter Visibility Without the Truck Roll
The cost of a parking operation isn’t the hardware — it’s the truck rolls. Iris removes the most frequent reasons to send someone out.
Monitoring & Alerts
Monitor equipment health and route alerts to the appropriate staff.
Collections
Set collection thresholds for each pay station and see real-time counts by payment type. Iris alerts field staff when a station passes its threshold, so crews optimize routes instead of visiting machines that aren’t full.
Maintenance
A dedicated interface highlights stations that are down or need service, so you can direct field staff where they’re actually needed.
Connect What Parkers Pay to What Officers See
Payment activity from connected pay stations, mobile payment solutions, and supported third-party technologies can flow into Iris for reporting and reconciliation.
Consolidated payment data
Transactions from pay stations, T2 MobilePay, and third-party parking technologies flow into one platform for reporting and reconciliation. When revenue doesn’t match, Iris drills down to the individual transaction.
Enforcement in the field
Officers access occupancy, license plate, and transaction data from mobile devices to verify paid sessions, view license plate activity, check space payment status, and improve citation accuracy.
LPR integration
Integrate with license plate recognition systems to significantly increase enforcement productivity across the same coverage area.
Parking Software Integrations and Payment Security
Iris connects to the parking technologies you already run through the T2 Digital API and 100+ integrations — so operational data moves between systems instead of being re-keyed. Build custom applications, integrate enterprise systems, and extend workflows across your operation.
| Safeguard | What It Protects |
| Encryption | Card data — PCI-P2PE validated encryption and PCI-SSF software keep it unreadable across the payment path. |
| Certified Platform | The system itself — PCI SLC certification and PCI DSS Level 1 service provider status. |
| Role-Based Access | Your data — permissions are assigned by role, so only approved personnel can make system adjustments. |
Iris supports processors including Chase, Fiserv/First Data, Elavon, and Global Payments, so your payment strategy isn’t locked to a single merchant relationship.
