FAQ

A:  If you need parking and don't see any space in the parking pool, you can simply request it. Use the app to ask the owners / colleagues whose space is not in the pool but is not occupied at the moment to share the parking lot. They get a notification on their phone in real time and with one tap they know how to release the space for your usage. This is an important feature because it actively encourages engagement, sharing and keeps the pool active.

A:  ParkingAround offers three major values. Firstly, it provides extensive data insights into driver behavior, allowing you to understand real-time parking utilization. It facilitates flexible parking contracts based on actual usage, leading to the second value: increased revenue. Accurate space utilization data enables the strategic opening of the car park to other tenants in need of parking. And finally, ParkingAround provides a new way for tenants to interact, granting them control over their parking spaces and empowering them to share a vital resource within their community, transferring responsibility from property managers to end users.

A:  We create a reward system for parking, i.e. gamification of the car park.

A:  It's a system where ParkingAround tracks “honest” visits, penalizing overstays or other transgression by lowering driver privileges for future reservations. Car park managers can customize these rules to encourage efficient parking specific to each car park.

A:  No worries, it's not mandatory. Once set up, the system adapts automatically based on parameters you set, learning from driver behavior. Even without gamification, ParkingAround offers benefits like transparent rules and dynamic pricing, giving you unprecedented knowledge and control over your car park.

A:  ParkingAround manages remuneration seamlessly through our backend portal. At the end of each month, invoices are sent to all secondary tenants granted access to your car park, simplifying the revenue-sharing process.

A:  No worries. ParkingAround offers to cover the cost of infrastructure overhaul, including cutting-edge cameras, barriers, and wireless signage. In return, we share in the increased revenues generated once the system is implemented.

A:  No, but it significantly increases accuracy, reliability, utilization, and monetization of the parking lot.

A:  It's plug-n-play, meaning it can be as simple as placing the sensors in the available spaces, after which they are connected to the app, all of which can occur within minutes. Generally speaking, it shouldn't take more than a couple of minutes to digitize a space. If you have 1 person in charge of installation, they should be able to digitize over 400 spaces in a single day when using our IoT Sensor Sensor Mini (our most popular in-door model).

A:  If we understand that each car accounts for 2 parking events, i.e. entering and exiting a parking space, our sensor can handle 20 cars per day for at least 8 years before needing to be replaced.

A:  ParkingAround prioritizes user-friendliness. The initial setup takes a few hours, and the system self-regulates thereafter. You receive notifications on significant updates, and the system adapts based on your rules, whether maintaining exclusivity or expanding the parking pool. Essentially, you decide on the rules of the car park and the system does the rest.

A:  It's a dynamic list of all parking spots open for sharing within a specified area and time.

A:  It can be open to the general public but also limited to whomever the landlord wants, such as tenants, visitors, neighboring residents, and/or suppliers. Customization options are virtually limitless and can be changed at any time.

A:  Initial training for managers should take less than 4 hours. Once set up, the system will self-monitor and self-regulate based on parameters set by you, requiring next to no input during day-to-day operations. For end-users and customer-facing staff, it's as simple as downloading the app and registering an account.

A:  Using our system means that we are always on hand to offer customer support because we will have access to all metrics concerning your operation, meaning we will be able to identify and solve any issues that might arise, usually before you even know there's a problem.

A:  Typically, implementation of ParkingAround leads to a 20% boost in utilization, ensuring a rapid return on investment with minimal hassle.

A:  Multiple options, including credit card charges or notification to relevant authorities.

A:  The system will provide real-time status updates, notifying authorities of the transgression while simultaneously redirecting the driver with reservation to a new spot. If the new spot had a previous reservation, this reservation will be bumped to the next available spot in a domino-effect.
