About Us

Throughout the evolution of our American-made APS product lines, a usability approach was developed that fundamentally differs from comparable European products. Specifically, VenTek machines employ the simple-to-use customer interfaces adopted by American ATM and gas pump machines, rendering them highly comprehensible and usable by most people; young and old. Our “Quick Pick” interface makes customers instantly feel comfortable when they walk up to a VenTek pay station. This enables them to perform their transactions quickly and confidently, without confusion. In fact, the large, highly visible Liquid Crystal Display and integrated ATM-style function keys clearly differentiates our APS units from others in the parking industry.

In side-by-side comparisons focus groups have predominantly rated the VenTek product as “easier to use”. Accordingly, this rating has translated into higher user satisfaction and more revenue for owners or operators of VenTek equipment.

VenTek’s APS units and electronic payment technologies are currently deployed across North America in a variety of parking, transit and controlled entry applications. From government agencies to college campuses to state and national park settings, VenTek has a proven track record of helping our customers maximize their revenue collection.

As a company that focuses on our customer’s uniqueness and specific needs, we pride ourselves on our advanced engineering and product development capabilities. We routinely work with customers to customize the VenTek Online System to meet specific needs. We understand that one solution may not be right for everyone, and unlike our competitors in this space we are eager to hear about your specific goals and how we can help you meet them.

We employ more engineers in North America than any other manufacturer in the industry. We continually develop innovative capabilities, features and functions aimed at efficiency, operational flexibility and value. VenTek is ready, willing and able to personalize a customer’s solution to provide future extensibility and/or technical adaptability for unique applications.

VenTek has established an Australian-based marketing presence to promote its Android-based Automated Payment Machine systems in the Asia Pacific (APAC) Region.
