Parket Officially Launches Turnkey Digital Parking Solution In Johannesburg
Parket Officially Launches Turnkey Digital Parking Solution In Johannesburg. Major South African cities have long harboured dreams of becoming smart cities. In the case of a city such as Johannesburg, this means building an urban environment that is connected, intelligent and safe, as well as creating a sustainable and liveable city amongst others. It also means smart mobility, though these aspirations are thwarted by hugely inefficient parking for most parts of the city. Parket has just officially launched in Johannesburg and is offering landlords and businesses a free, no-obligation, three month trial to help out.
Parket, a modern Internet of Things (IoT) platform, not only matches demand with supply, but does so in a far more cost-effective, real-time and seamless way. This brings numerous benefits to landlords, who can better manage parking for tenants, while office park managers and retail centres can significantly improve user experience for employees, visitors and shoppers by digitising their parking.
Of course, modern businesses know that customer-centricity is key, and it is no different to Parket’s approach. In the full knowledge that not every user will want to download an app to their mobile device, motorists at a parking lot or retail centre can pay through scanning a QR code, while once-off visitors to a business in an office park can also be sent the QR access code via text or instant messaging for ease of access.
For office parks, landlords can provide separate dashboards for their tenants, which in turn can easily manage parking for employees, as well as visitors. This information can then be accessed by the landlord so that they know how much tenants need to be charged for parking. This is all done seamlessly, reducing administration requirements for both landlord and tenant while also getting rid of manual processes that can be prone to data capturing errors.
Based on its success in Cape Town, Parket is officially launching in Johannesburg in order to bring the city’s landlords and businesses a better way to manage parking in the city. Not only will this help relieve congestion at parking spaces, but assist the broader community in its bid to improve sustainability and drive Smart Mobility solutions on Johannesburg’s path toward becoming a Smart City.
