You have heard about a parking booking system, but are not sure whether such a solution will prove itself as useful in your company? Do you want to make parking space reservations easy and effortless for your staff, but you fear that its introduction will be complicated and costly? Read our article to see what you should know before introducing a parking reservation app.
Why do I need a parking reservation system?
Over the years, car parks have become places that are full of sophisticated and advanced technology that boost their performance and make them more approachable to users. CCTV, plate recognition systems, parking metres, free space indicators as well as electric chargers are nothing shocking, and they can be found in the majority of modern car parks. As technology advances, we all look for ways in which we can make our daily life easier, and parking reservation apps are yet another element of convenient commuting. They can be used in all places where multiple users share a common parking area such as companies, HOAs and campus car parks.
Where to start?
If you also want to benefit from an easy parking reservation system for your company or any other parking area, you need to find a service provider that will meet your needs. The competition in the parking app market is stiff, but there are still many systems which are rather restrictive and don’t offer much.
While choosing a system, check whether it enables you to freely configure your remote parking area and if there is a possibility to set priorities for selected parking users. Carefully check how many users will be able to use the software and whether the company you have chosen provides technical support. What is more, opt for a system which is based in a cloud and doesn’t require you to have your own hardware. All these functions can be found in Parkalot – our unique parking space reservation system which comes in 4 different packages for small, medium, large and ultra-large companies.
