Automate parking management like Huckletree

At their Dublin location, Huckletree has a limited amount of parking spaces in a private car park they share with two other businesses. Huckletree was experiencing the traditional challenges placed by member companies looking for staff parking. This was compounded by a high level of guests coming on-site for events and meetings looking for parking. Meanwhile the nature of Huckletree’s business means they have a high volume of contractors (cleaners, painters etc.) coming on-site who regularly required parking so they can service the building. On days when Huckletree’s spaces were full, contractors would often park in spaces belonging to other companies which was causing big tension with the landlord.

Huckletree staff would often have to spend up to 2 hours at a time trying to figure out who owned rogue cars and track down contractors to get them to move their car.

Huckletree had previously tried managing their parking through Slack, the popular business communications service. However, it was overly resource intensive to manage, had very little accountability and was discontinued after a short trial. Huckletree’s parking situation had become such a problem that they severely restricted parking access for client companies to ensure that there was always space for contractors. This meant that on any given day up to 50% of all spaces were lying idle.
