Is digital parking management only for large parking stocks?

The process for implementing a digital ERP system for parking management looks basically the same whether you have a smaller stock or several large facilities. It implies that Everyone can digitize their parking management! It also means that you need to prepare your business for what it will entail. Three things we recommend are:

1. Have at least one person dedicated to your parking management. Appoint this person as the owner of the digitization project and the ongoing management work. This “super user”, together with any colleagues, we train and coach in how to best use the system based on your conditions. Here you can read more about how implementation and onboarding are done with us.
2. Think first, then do. To make the management process as efficient and profitable as possible, you need to start at the right end. This means, for example, taking stock of your assets and working in a structured way with your stock. Here you can read about 6 ways to streamline your parking management.
3. Communicate, communicate, communicate. No one likes change that comes as a shock, so be sure to get all of you (both customers and staff) on the train from the start. Here you can read about how to communicate change in the best way.

How difficult and time-consuming is it to digitize your parking management?

Are you afraid that the investment in time, money and staff is greater than the return you would get from digitizing your parking management? Don't you get enough bang for the buck? Here's how we think:

1. Digitizing parking management does not have to be difficult. We have a well-developed and proven implementation process, which includes training of your staff. So we are with you all the way until your regular staff is completely autonomous (and your management is streamlined by about 85%).
2. You decide how long it takes to get started. For example, you can digitize your existing stock to get started quickly, and then optimize utilization and business over time. Alternatively, you invest in business development from the start, which will bring faster returns. Getting started with the system involves, among other things, training, inventory, classification, contract imports and communication to the end customer.
3. The average operating net increase for our customers is 30%. Whether you end up above or below it depends on how much you want and can invest in business development. For example, by analyzing the data collected by the system and screwing up your parking offer. Here you can read about how you can start working more data-driven.
