Flash Valet, a parking technology product, gets 'most innovative' award

(October 17, 2014) AUSTIN, Texas — Flash Valet, a parking technology product developed by Austin-based Klever Logic, was recently named by Channel Partners (a resource for indirect sales channels offering IT and telecom solutions) the winner of their 2014 Cloudys Cloud Channel Innovation Awards.

Honored as the 2014 "Most Innovative Cloud Service" company, Don Douglas, a Flash Valet investor and mentor, was on-hand to accept the award by John Siefert, the CEO of Virgo Publishing and publisher of Channel Partners. The 2014 program was underwritten by Verizon.

Flash Valet gives parking providers the freedom to operate away from cash registers and paper tickets by channeling communications and payment through something we have on us all the time — our mobile phones.

Through Flash Valet's cloud-based Software as a Service (SaaS), valet parking providers can track vehicles in real time to control and boost their revenue, manage employee time and attendance (including payroll integration), accept credit cards at the curb and through mobile payments — all from one vendor.

Parking companies get real-time visibility into their business from their phone or any browser and, unlike other parking management solutions, Flash Valet does not require a hefty investment in servers or desktop machines.  The platform runs on an easy-to-use mobile app, which translates into rapid deployments and fast learning curve for the personnel on the ground.

Twenty-five winners were honored during an awards ceremony on Sept. 8 at Cloud Partners, a Channel Partners event, in New Orleans. Winners will be featured in a Channel Partners' November/December print issue as well as a digital issue that can be downloaded from The Cloudys Immersion Center.

"The response to the inaugural Channel Partners Cloudys awards has been overwhelmingly positive," said Khali Henderson, editor-in-chief of Channel Partners. "This program rewards innovation across the cloud ecosystem and success in a world where traditional distinctions among developer, vendor, provider and partner blur."
