Problem

With their new hybrid work model and a drive to encourage more people back to the office, Iress needed a solution to manage parking and make the commute to the office easier for their employees.

Parking administration was taking up a huge amount of time, it was a full time job to manage. They also had a large number of leased spaces that couldn’t be shared amongst employees, meaning parking spaces were lying empty a lot of the time.

Solution

To address these challenges, Iress implemented Wayleadr’s parking management solution, which allowed them to efficiently manage all aspects of their employee parking, including reservation management, automated allocation, and real-time availability. This resulted in more efficient use of available parking spaces, increased employee satisfaction, and reduced parking administration time.

“Wayleadr’s response time on their live chat is fantastic. You’re not hanging out waiting – literally a couple of minutes, and then you’ve got your answer. We couldn’t feel more supported.”

- Trudi Roberts, Head of Office Services at Iress

Iress also integrated Wayleadr with Okta to automate user provisioning and with Slack to enable employees to book their parking spots within Slack. With the data and insights provided by Wayleadr, Iress was able to make informed decisions about its parking needs and right-size its real estate spending.
