908 Devices is a rapidly scaling medical devices company in Boston, USA.
Increasing headcount was creating parking problems.
Full product roll-out to optimize all aspects of employee parking management.
Eliminated the need for staff to pay for parking off-site.
908 Devices is a rapidly scaling medical devices company. They currently have 150 staff and are increasing their headcount by 6-8 people every month. They manufacture battery-operated, hand-held chemical detection tools used in mass spectrometry.
As a rapidly growing company, demand for parking at 908 Devices had begun to greatly outstrip supply.
As the company scaled, more and more employees were being forced to pay for parking off-site out of their own pockets everyday. This was causing tension as staff often reported large amounts of empty parking spaces on-site at the office.
A culture had emerged where staff without parking privileges would stop by the office as their first port of call to see if there were any spare spaces available. However, due to a lack of a transparent way of communicating availability, a lot of early morning stress was ensuing.
As an expanding company, 908 Devices were keen to underpin their growth in headcount with a robust and transparent system for managing parking before it spiralled even further out of control.
“Employees are saving a massive amount of time in the morning. Staff used to arrive in the morning, they’d be ringing upstairs and often running around trying to find someone who could tell them where they could park. All this hassle has been totally eliminated now”
908 Devices rolled out the full Wayleadr solution to manage all aspects of their employee parking including reservation management, automated management and real-time availability.
The company amplified the impact through Slack, the internal communications platform. Leveraging this software to drive home the positive results and impact of Wayleadr and how it was helping everyone.
“Wayleadr was a solution that 908 Devices really needed. We had tried so many different alternative ways of managing parking but nothing was really working out. Wayleadr literally made all the problems go away overnight”
“I used to leave the house every morning not knowing what was in store. I’d spend the first two hours of every morning dealing with parking. It can be stressful work telling some people that they aren’t allowed to park and it is easy to be perceived as picking favorites. Now with Wayleadr, this all happens like clockwork. There is a clear and transparent system which everybody has got behind”
