StudentA question about the next ten minutes.
DepartmentThe same question about the next ten years.
Tessera answers both from the same data. Students see what's open before they drive; parking departments see which lots fill, at what hour, and for how long — with no sensors, no cameras, and nothing connected to your systems.
Priced per campus, per year. Set up in days.
Open Tessera and see which lots have space right now — reported minutes ago by people parking on your campus. Then tap once when you park, so the next person isn't guessing either.

Not for want of attention — because the only records that exist are permit sales, gate counts inside the garages, and complaints.
You hear it constantly. You also suspect that at the exact moment it is said, several lots are half empty. Today you cannot prove either version, so the loudest account of your campus is the one that wins.
A new structure is the largest capital request your department will ever make. The evidence available to argue it either way is gate counts covering only the garages — and the surface lots, where pressure shows first, are invisible.
Every lever you hold — shuttle timing, permit mix, event staffing, where you send an overflow — depends on knowing the hour and the weekday. Most departments work from a strong impression that has never been measured.
Every figure comes from real arrivals and departures on your campus. Nothing is modelled, inferred, or borrowed from a comparable school.
Which lots are reported open, filling and full across the term — including the surface lots no gate count covers. The ones raised at every meeting, and the ones nobody has ever mentioned.
The shape of your day, and which weekday genuinely carries the load. This is the measure that tells you whether a mitigation is aimed at the right hour.
How long a vehicle holds a space. Turnover is what separates “we need more spaces” from “we are selling the wrong permits for these lots” — and those two conclusions have very different price tags.
How many lots produced data this month, out of how many exist. We show the gap rather than averaging across it, so you always know how much of your campus a number is speaking for.
Your lots, your permit zones, your enforcement hours, on your map. Days of setup — not a capital project, a trenching schedule, or an install window.
Students and staff mark lots open, filling or full as they park, from an app they already have a reason to open. Every report is timestamped and tied to a verified campus account.
A dashboard your team reads, and an export you can hand to whoever is asking whether the next garage is really necessary.
You have been pitched before. Here are the limits up front, so you can rule us out now rather than six months into a procurement cycle.
Your cost does not move because more students signed up, or because you opened a lot. One line item, one renewal date, sized to the campus.
The first campuses join as pilot partners on terms that reflect it. Tell us your campus and we will come back with a number and what it covers — no discovery call required to get one.
Get a quoteNo student information system, no permit database, no card system, no network access. Nothing to wire up means very little to review — which is the point.
An account is an email, a campus and a username. We do not read license plates, we do not follow vehicles between lots, and we do not sell data to anyone.
Data handling, access control, retention, subprocessors, and an honest list of what we do not have yet. We will complete your HECVAT.
If you are parking today, the app is open. If you run the parking, tell us your campus and the question you are trying to answer — we will show you what your department would see.
