Abstract: Apparatus and associated methods relate to scheduling service provider and service consumer interactions based on determining service consumer scores, service provider scores, and service time slot scores predicting outcomes for provider service to a consumer in a time slot, and automatically adapting demand and supply matched as functions of the scores. In an illustrative example, the service consumer may be a client. The service provider may be, for example, a professional offering service in an available time slot. In some examples, individual client, provider, and time slot scores may be calculated as functions of predictive variables associated with a client population and the provider practice environment. In some embodiments, scores may be probability estimates of show, no-show, delay, or cancellation.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to systems and methods for real-time auditing and management of parking facility operations. In particular, the invention allows for real-time auditing and management of transactions relating to parking credentials, such as parking tickets. The systems and methods eliminate the costly overhead of manual auditing, and also provide enhanced capabilities to further reduce both unintentional and intentional loses of revenue. The systems and method allow for “real-time” data analysis and offer the potential to catch discrepancies virtually instantly, and can provide alerts immediately for any identified discrepancies. The present invention is also directed, in part, to systems, methods, and components for monitoring a parking facility. The method and system include the use of parking tickets that are configured to receive multiple two-dimensional bar codes.
