Recently, one of our clients presented us with a challenge in Kalena: given the great difference between the number of parking spaces available compared to the total volume of employees, our client needed an effective solution for the fair allocation and management of both parking spaces as well as spaces for charging electric cars, as well as the integration of the solution with the access control systems to its offices.
The KALENA development team accepted the challenge presented by the client and designed a parking spot reservation system with the following features:
- Given the difference between the number of available parking spots and the total number of employees, KALENA implements a pre-booking system with a fair lottery-based allocation of parking spaces for workers.
- In this fair lottery allocation system, different parameters are taken into account, such as the number of reservations previously enjoyed or the appropriate use of the concessions for each user in their previous reservations.
- For greater efficiency in access to the offices by employees and visitors, integration with the control of the access barriers to the car park is also implemented to automatically allow access to vehicles with a granted space.
- Thanks to this system, it is also possible to automate check-in by confirming the reservation at the time of access to the offices, by reading the license plate associated with the reservation.
- In the same way, and thanks to this functionality, the places that have not finally been used or those that have been released automatically because the vehicle has left through check-out would be available to employees.
At KALENA we always work with the latest development technologies to constantly improve and evolve the product, based on market trends and user experiences of our clients. This allows us to quickly and continuously incorporate new functionalities into the product, such as the management of parking spaces through a fair lottery, which is now available to our clients for personalized incorporation.
