Business Excellence Awards 2026, Acquisition International | 13 Parking Industry Leadership Excellence Award 2026 ased in Oklahoma City, Revolutionary Parking Management is a parking operations firm working in high-traffic environments, across which it stabilises assets by replacing assumptions – the assumption at human enforcement will be rigorous and consistent – with systems that actually are both of these things. By taking a local, boots-on-the-ground approach to parking management, Roman and the team are helping to eliminate the day-to-day headaches of this industry brought about by national operators. Where national operators are built to focus on scale and uniformity, RPM is built for execution and accountability. The big operators promise the world, but the standardised processes and centralised decisionmaking capabilities they use almost always translate to a limited onsite presence. Whilst this may work fine for quieter environments, the busy or event-driven locations that RPM appeals to need more than this – they need active, on-site enforcement, ownership-level insight, and tailored pricing. “Our unique selling point is simple and hard to copy. We personally operate the assets we manage. We are not managing from a spreadsheet or a regional office two states away. We are on site, adjusting pricing, fixing signage, retraining staff, and tightening controls in real time ” The success Roman and the team have experienced in this space comes from a meticulous blend of reliability, repeatability, and longterm performance. All of this makes RPM a local, disciplined, and modern alternative, a claim bolstered by the fact that it is already trusted to manage some of the busiest parking environments in Oklahoma. For Roman, this can be attributed to RPM doing more than selling a system and then walking away, as he oversees a team who treat parking as a controlled asset. Impressively, this is not all. RPM also handles any customer complaints or disputes, freeing property owners from the burden of having to manage customer grumbles, of which there is no shortage when it comes to parking. Any complaints made are logged, reviewed, and resolved accordingly, with the team following defined escalation processes and documenting everything at each stage. This is just another example of this comprehensive approach in action, and the many benefits it offers owners. On the back of these differentiators, RPM has, over the past 12 months, completed the transition from a start-up operator into a proven, high-performance platform. Several projects can be attributed to this, with the company taking over a number of high-demand parking assets across Bricktown and Downtown Oklahoma City. Many of these takeovers saw RPM replace national operators and boost net revenue immediately. “Most of our clients come to us after being disappointed by national operators who over promise, under enforce, and hide behind dashboards while revenue leaks out the back door ” In addition, Roman told us: “We also completed full deployment of QRbased payments, digital validations, and citation workflows across our portfolio, eliminating paper passes in the process.” These were not just pilot projects; they are now standard operating procedure across RPM’s locations, and offer but a glimpse of the innovation that awaits the company in the near future. However, what really stood RPM in good stead last year – which was it first full year in operation – was that its model works. But it does more than just work, and with the seven-figure mark being crossed in gross revenue, all whilst reducing operating expenses and improving client net performance, it is clear the team here are on to something special. 2026 will see them build on this, growing not just for growth’s sake, but expanding where it matters, prioritising quality over quantity, and honing its systems. An owner-operated parking management firm specialising in commercial and event parking management services, Revolutionary Parking Management stands out because it is an operator, not a vendor. Since this is an ethos that starts right at the top with Roman, we are delighted to present him with this Parking Industry Leadership Excellence Award 2026 in our Business Excellence Awards this year. Contact: Roman Wortman Company: Revolutionary Parking Management Web Address: https://revolutionaryparking.com/ Inconsistent enforcement and absentee operators are two of the major reasons behind dwindling profits for parking assets, and this is why a network of technology-driven, locally executed systems – such as those delivered by Oklahoma’s Revolutionary Parking Management – are crucial for those looking to maximise parking revenue, access real-time oversight of their asset, and keep their costs down.
