This guide explains how Offstreet layers on top of AIMS to simplify guest registration (under 10 seconds), automate communication, enable flexible event setup, provide white-label branding, and deliver real-time reporting - all without replacing your core system.
Download NowMany parking teams rely on AIMS - and specifically AIMS MobilePay (AMP) - for transient visitor parking.
It works well for daily pay parking.
But guest parking, events, vendors, and departmental permits are different.
They move faster.
They involve more stakeholders.
They require flexibility, communication, and centralized oversight.
When those use cases run through tools primarily designed for general mobile pay, friction builds.
That’s where Offstreet comes in — not as a replacement for AIMS, but as a complement.
AIMS MobilePay (AMP) is built for transient visitor transactions.
But guest and event parking require:
Without a purpose-built system, parking teams often experience:

Offstreet layers on top of AIMS to manage:
Your existing AIMS infrastructure remains intact.
Offstreet centralizes everything short-term, event-based, and guest-focused — while still integrating with AIMS.
No app download.
No account creation.
A streamlined checkout flow allows guests to register quickly — reducing friction and inbound support calls.
Built-in messaging includes:
Instead of departments manually sending PDFs or instructions, communication is automated within the permit experience.
Configure simple or complex events with customizable settings — without workarounds or rigid templates.
Ideal for everything from campus tours to large conferences.
Offstreet integrates with university systems and AIMS.
It complements your existing workflows instead of disrupting them.
No new equipment.
No kiosks.
No infrastructure overhaul.
Parking teams gain:
No scattered spreadsheets.
No disconnected departmental lists.
Maintain a cohesive campus experience with custom branding — instead of a generic mobile app flow.
This is especially important for admissions visits, conferences, and high-profile events.
Rather than relying solely on general support channels.
When guest permits are managed through standard mobile pay tools or distributed departmental processes:
Centralizing guest and event parking creates:
All while keeping AIMS as your foundation for core parking operations.
If you're currently using AIMS and exploring improvements, here’s a helpful way to frame the conversation:
“We’re not replacing AIMS.
We’re improving how we handle guest and event parking.”
This is not a system replacement initiative.
It’s a targeted operational improvement focused on:
To help guide the conversation, share the side-by-side comparison document outlining AIMS (AMP) and Offstreet capabilities.
AIMS is strong for mobile pay and structured parking operations.
Offstreet fills the gap for centralized guest and event parking management.
The core system stays.
The guest experience improves.
The operational friction decreases.
