MF Services are the authorised distributors for IPS Group Inc. for Ireland. IPS Group Inc. is headquartered in San Diego, CA (USA), with offices in Canada and Europe. IPS is a design, engineering, and manufacturing company focused on low-power wireless telecommunications, payment processing systems, parking technologies, and SaaS management software. An industry pioneer, IPS has been delivering smart city technology solutions for over 20 years. The company offers a fully integrated smart product suite comprised of single-space meters, multi-space pay stations, pay station upgrade kits, vehicle detection sensors, smart cash collection systems, and SaaS management software with advanced data analytics. IPS is delivering the Internet of Things (IoT) and Intelligent Parking Systems to transportation and parking operations all over the world.
A pay and display parking system is a simple yet intelligent solution that allows drivers to pay for parking and display a printed or digital ticket confirming their session. In the past, these systems relied mainly on coins, but the technology has evolved significantly. Today’s pay and display machines, like those from IPS Group, support cashless and contactless payments, mobile integrations, and advanced reporting tools that make parking management far more efficient.
For councils, operators, and private businesses across Ireland, these systems provide a balance of reliability, transparency, and ease of use. Drivers appreciate the straightforward process, while operators gain better oversight and control through real-time data. It’s an approach that keeps cities moving and customers satisfied.
The MS1 Parking Terminal is the latest generation of unattended payment systems from IPS Group. The MS1 incorporates the unique features of the Proven™ IPS parking meter platform. Fully BSEN12414:2020 compliant and offering customer-focused features.
The Revolution Upgrade Kits are designed to retrofit the existing machine. This extends the life of the current infrastructure, while upgrading to the latest technology. The upgrade path has been designed to allow swift replacement.
The IPS Data Management System (DMS) is a secure web-based application that allows you to manage the entire parking terminal network with ease.
My Parking Receipt™ works with IPS meters to bring greater personal reporting and record-keeping capabilities to your customers with easy access to parking receipts.
IPS Pay and Display Machines are built for today’s connected world, combining convenience, sustainability, and performance in one seamless system. Designed with both drivers and operators in mind, they deliver efficient, secure, and environmentally responsible parking management.
These systems offer exceptional flexibility when it comes to payment. Drivers can choose from coins, notes, cards, contactless payments, or even mobile apps, making transactions quick and effortless. For operators, this means reduced queues, fewer faults, and a smoother parking experience overall.
Each unit is solar powered and engineered for durability, making it ideal for both busy urban environments and exposed coastal locations. The low-power technology guarantees consistent performance throughout the year, even in Ireland’s ever-changing weather conditions.
Behind the scenes, every machine connects to a secure cloud-based management platform, providing operators with complete oversight and control. Through a single dashboard, they can view live data, monitor equipment health, and generate reports instantly—eliminating the need for manual checks or site visits.
Every feature is designed to work together, resulting in a modern, efficient, and sustainable parking solution that evolves with your needs. With IPS technology and MF Services’ local expertise, you can depend on consistent performance and measurable results, day after day.
Smart Parking is a critical facet of Smart City infrastructure, especially when it comes to improving mobility, sustainability and overall quality of life. It is also a driver of economic growth. Smart technology supports ever-changing urban environments and contributes to creating resource-efficient, people-centered Smart Cities.

Pay and Display systems can be found across a wide range of public and private locations throughout Ireland. They are ideal for local authorities managing large on-street parking networks and equally suited to commercial and institutional sites.
You’ll find them in town centres, retail parks, hospitals, universities, and transport hubs where consistent, reliable parking management is essential. They’re also popular in private developments and residential complexes where easy payment and compliance are key.
Whether installed in a busy city centre or a smaller community car park, the technology adapts seamlessly to local needs. It can integrate with other parking and access systems—such as automatic barriers or pay-on-foot solutions—to form a complete, efficient parking infrastructure.
The operation of a pay and display system is designed to be intuitive for users and intelligent for operators. A typical parking session is straightforward: a driver parks, selects their duration, makes a payment using their preferred method, and receives either a printed ticket to display or a digital confirmation.
For the operator, the process continues behind the scenes. Each machine connects wirelessly to the IPS management system, feeding live data on payments, usage, and equipment status. Managers can track occupancy levels, monitor revenue, and even adjust pricing or time limits remotely.
This seamless link between the physical machine and the digital platform is what transforms a simple parking meter into a smart parking solution. It reduces downtime, minimises maintenance costs, and ensures a consistent experience for drivers across every location.
