Neglecting to manage a car park may lead to a plethora of problems. Therefore, smart management of an office car park in order to make it accessible to everyone is worth thinking about. The right choice of tools will minimise risk and significantly improve the functioning of an office car park.
Why manage a car park?
Let’s say that a property manager issues too many parking cards for accessing a car park, then, at any one time, too many vehicles may enter the car park with inevitably dangerous consequences. The fact that overcrowded underground car parks full of exhaust fumes are not a good place for people to be is also noteworthy. In such situations car park entries and exits become clogged up with vehicles blocking one another. And that may lead to accidents. And it is no secret that an unpleasant incident in the morning does not bode well for the remainder of the day.
Costs of poor management
Staff members who have not been allocated a car park space will be driving around the neighbourhood looking for a place to park wasting valuable time and energy. This might make them late for an important meeting, or perhaps even worse, cause a road accident in their rush. And we have not even mentioned the environmental aspects yet. Cars circling around office buildings needlessly pump carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. A lot of harmful substances are generated if a hundred workers are looking for a place to park in such fashion.
What is smart management?
First and foremost, managing a car park improves security. Unauthorised individuals will not drive into the car park. It also drastically reduces the risk of the car park becoming overcrowded. Smart car park management may also entail implementing the ParkCash car park spaces reservation system which ensures everyone has an opportunity to park. This innovative system democratizes the car park space. Every member of staff can use a mobile app to reserve a parking space and park at the workplace.
Summary
Perhaps surprisingly, managing a car park is not a piece of cake. A day which begins with hassle free parking is a good day. Positive energy so crucial at work is not needlessly squandered. And that makes a car park management system indispensable.
