Strikes, spares, and lots of laughs 🎳

At this year's company holiday party, we had a blast bowling, cheering each other on, team building, and enjoying some seriously good eats. It’s not always about the numbers — sometimes it’s about kicking back, relaxing, and enjoying time with great coworkers.

Hope you’re soaking up some holiday cheer!✨

As the year comes to a close, we’re feeling incredibly grateful. We didn’t sit still — we grew. New teammates joined the Barnacle family, new connections turned into real partnerships, and long-standing relationships grew even stronger.

As we head into the new year, we’re excited, energized, and ready to keep building alongside the people and communities who make this work so meaningful. Wishing everyone a happy holiday season and a bright year ahead. ✨

Big thanks to MD Rahman, owner of a 7-Eleven in Philadelphia, for sharing such a thoughtful testimonial about his experience with Barnacle. 💛

Managing a busy parking lot isn’t easy—especially when nearby businesses don’t provide enough parking for their customers.

We’re proud that Barnacle helps MD protect his spaces, keep operations fair, and make sure his own customers always have a place to park.

Thanks for trusting us to be part of the solution. #7-Eleven

A decade of boots replaced by Barnacle innovation! 👣➡️🟡

Thank you Scott McQuillen from The City of Manchester NH - Government for sharing your experience. We're proud to see Barnacle drive real change—proving effective enforcement can be easy and safe.

"As a Parking Control Officer, our only option to immobilize vehicles for the past 10 years was the boot. About two months ago, our manager introduced us to the Barnacle as a new alternative. Unlike the boot, the Barnacle is lightweight, portable, and much easier — and safer — to deploy. The technology has proven to be a major advantage for both our officers in the field and the customers.”
-Scott McQuillen, Parking Control Officer, , NH
