In the asset statements of the real estate industry, parking lots have long been seen as a contradiction—they are an essential part of urban infrastructure, yet often overlooked and confined to the role of mere "supporting facilities."

As traditional property management still relies heavily on manual labor and single-source revenue, a silent revolution driven by digital technology is reshaping industry norms. As a pioneer in China's smart parking sector, JIESHUN has launched the “Digital Operation Solution for Parking Assets”, redefining parking lots as independently operable assets. This marks a major shift in the industry—from basic management to value-based asset operation.

Industry Challenges: The Underestimated Trillion-Yuan Asset

China’s parking industry is facing three structural dilemmas:

1. Resource Mismatch and Efficiency Black Holes

According to the China Urban Parking Association, parking lots in commercial complexes face a vacancy rate as high as 35%, while core business districts suffer from over 40% space shortages during peak hours. This mismatch wastes both land and user time. The industry is trapped in a "high input, low output" cycle: labor accounts for 35% of revenue, equipment maintenance costs increase by 12% annually, while basic parking fee income grows by only 5.8%—with some projects running at a loss.

2. Data Silos and Ecosystem Disconnect

Despite being a major traffic gateway, 80% of parking lots still lack a data platform. Most rely on manual traffic counts, leaving managers blind to traffic patterns and customer insights. Meanwhile, the high consumption potential of drivers is rarely tapped into, leaving this “value goldmine” unexploited.

3. Transition Bottlenecks and Policy Lag

Although EV adoption is surging, the “parking + charging” retrofit rate remains below 18%. Aging infrastructure, lack of technical standards, uncertain ROI, and only 35% city-level data platform coverage make transformation slow and costly.

JIESHUN’s Breakthrough: Rebuilding the Asset Value Model

JIESHUN’s digital operation solution redefines the valuation logic of parking assets through two key innovations:

1. Industry-First “Zero-Risk Custody” Model

By promising existing revenue levels and sharing incremental gains, JIESHUN absorbs all operational risk. Property owners gain baseline income with no upfront investment, while additional profits are shared in tiers. At a top-tier office project in Lujiazui, this model generated an annual increase of 3.2 million RMB, with a 30% revenue share to the property owner. This “zero-risk, high-return” model has been successfully implemented in cities like Shanghai, Shenzhen, Beijing, and Guangzhou, delivering an average revenue increase of 20–30%.

2. A Three-Dimensional Value Engine

• Asset Value Enhancement:

• A 24/7 remote operations center replaces traditional booths, cutting labor costs by 50%.
• AI-powered surveillance detects violations such as tailgating and reverse exits, recovering 8% of lost revenue.
• An AI-driven pricing strategy based on heat maps increased off-peak utilization by 40% in a Shenzhen tech park.

• Operational Space Upgrades:

• Parking lots are transformed into “urban micro-service hubs,” integrating EV charging, energy storage, and sustainability features, cutting electricity costs by 30%.
• Value-added services like car washes, vending machines, and mini-warehouses account for over 10% of extra revenue.
• Space renovation doubled per-space output, as seen in a Shanghai office converting idle basement floors into group parking.

• Enhanced User Experience:

• AI-based license plate correction boosts recognition accuracy to 99.98%.
• Smart VIP spots with video detection and intelligent locks raise satisfaction by 1.6x.
• Fully digital services—from space reservation, in-lot navigation and invoicing to boosting monthly pass issuance efficiency by 200%.

A Paradigm Shift: From Management to Asset Operation

“This represents a generational shift in asset management thinking,” said Li Ming (alias), Secretary-General of the China Urban Parking Association.

JIESHUN is leading the way in redefining industry practices by:

1. Professionalizing Asset Operators

Over 150 property owners have entrusted JIESHUN with full parking operations—transforming property managers from “caretakers” to “asset operators.” This results in a 20% cost reduction and millions in added annual revenue through profit-sharing models.

2. Reshaping Asset Valuation Models

The traditional model of “number of spaces × lease rate” is being replaced with dynamic evaluations like “operational income × ecosystem value.” Digitally managed projects report 25–30% asset premium on average. One Beijing office project saw energy use drop 30%, charging revenue rise 35%, and diversified income grow more than 3×—boosting total asset value by 20%.

3. Redefining Urban Space

Parking lots are no longer just spaces for cars—they are becoming smart urban micro-hubs. “In the future, every parking lot will be a miniature smart complex,” said Ling Guangwen, GM of JIESHUN Smart City. “They will combine aftermarket services, retail, EV networks, and community amenities.”

Winning the Era of Asset Awakening

The parking asset industry is undergoing a revolution—from traditional property management to intelligent asset operation. Those who treat parking lots as deeply operable digital assets will unlock the most reliable growth opportunities in the stock era.

JIESHUN’s breakthrough lies in building a value loop of asset enhancement, service quality, and ecosystem synergy, turning parking facilities from cost centers into profit engines—reshaping the value chain of real estate.

This is not just a technical upgrade, but a redefinition of urban space. When property owners, operators, merchants, and users form a symbiotic ecosystem on a digital platform, the humble parking lot will unleash surprising economic potential.

In this new era of asset awakening, only those who embrace digital operation models will hold the ticket to long-term success.
