Celebrating Excellence: Orikan’s Wins at the 2024 Parking Industry Awards

Orikan has once again set the standard in the industry, claiming three first-place awards at the 2024 Parking Industry Awards! With a record five nominations across key categories, these achievements are a solid reflection of our commitment to innovation, customer focus, and sustainability.

Our standout win in Excellence in Technology and Innovation – ON STREET showcases the groundbreaking impact of Orikan’s integrated digital payment solution. This industry-first solution—comprising PayStay, PayStay Guest, Touch N Go, and Metro LITE—offers unparalleled convenience for communities and councils.

Driven by collaboration across our development, QA, implementation, operations, growth, and corporate teams, the solution empowers:

• Enhanced payment accessibility with more options tailored to diverse user needs.
• Greater digital adoption for a seamless, sustainable experience.
• Cost efficiencies for our council partners, aligning with our mission to provide cutting-edge, eco-conscious technology.

This achievement underscores our belief in creating future-ready solutions that support both communities and environmental sustainability.

By advancing smart, eco-friendly technology, we’re making parking simpler and more sustainable for communities.

This award honours the dedication and connectedness of our team, with special recognition for Harry Singh, Bruce Gardiner, and Kaya Rikihana. Their commitment to delivering exceptional service continues to build trust and loyalty within the community.

Our work in the City of Port Phillip, including the launch of PayStay Guest, a refreshed PayStay brand, and a city-wide signage program, earned us this accolade. Congratulations to the marketing team for their innovative approach, including our first-ever sponsorship with the St Kilda Film Festival.

We are equally proud of Tina Kaduthodil, who was shortlisted as a finalist for Emerging Leader of the Year. Tina’s 20 years of dedication to the parking industry and her impactful community work with the Victorian Knanaya Women’s Forum exemplify the leadership we strive to nurture at Orikan.

While we were runners-up for Parking Organisation of the Year, the breadth of recognition we’ve received is a testament to the extraordinary talent and shared purpose driving our team.

These achievements reflect the incredible talent, collaboration, and shared vision of the Orikan team. They also align with our mission to develop smart, sustainable solutions that benefit communities and reduce environmental impact.

Thank you to everyone who contributed to these successes—this is a win for all of us. Together, we’re driving the future of parking technology!
