The Hidden Cost of Employee Parking Stress
No one wants to spend their valuable time searching for parking. And in a corporate environment, with endless meetings scheduled and a tight daily agenda, time may be even more scarce.
But parking can do more than just delay a carefully scheduled day. Research shows it can create stress that leeches into the rest of the day- and your employees performance. It can also affect your employee retention rates and even reflect on your corporate culture.
A Quick Fix
Corporate campuses need to help employees find parking fast so they can get where they need to be faster. But if your lots, like so many other corporate ones, fill up fast with the earliest arrivals, you may need to rethink how people find parking on your campus. And while you may have already considered a parking guidance system, the long installation time may have nixed that option.
With OpenSpace, we help companies just like yours to guide parkers to available parking spaces. But unlike other systems, ours doesn’t involve lot closures and employees getting even more frustrated during the installation process. That’s because you can fully install our system in just one morning.
Sound impossible? Here’s how it works.
Smarter Parking in a Morning
OpenSpace wasn’t designed to be just another parking guidance system. It was specifically created to fill in the gaps where other systems were lacking. And one of the key aspects we sought to address was how to create parking guidance without necessitating lengthy closures. In almost every environment, from a corporate campus to a shopping mall to a park and ride, it’s inconvenient and often impossible to simply close parking lots down for weeks or months at a time. But with most parking guidance systems, that’s exactly what needs to be done.
OpenSpace, on the other hand, requires no wiring or digging. It’s a simple, user-friendly platform that’s ready to use right out of the box. Sensors are installed only at ingress and egress points and can be placed inside speed humps or directly in the ground. Data is highly accurate and rivals the best systems on the market– at a fraction of the cost and with no complicated installation process.
Sharing Parking Data with Employees
The data collected by OpenSpace is yours to use and share as you like. You can display parking availability data on our bright digital signs outside your campus or outside your lot. Signs can be customized with your branding as well as what data you’d like to include.
Some companies choose to display availability in multiple lots so that drivers know where to avoid parking and what areas make more sense to seek parking in. Others choose simply to put data on each parking resource outside that lot. You can also choose not to include spots such as EV or handicapped accessible ones as well as when to display lot full.
In addition to our bright LED signs, you can also share parking data on your website, app, or third party parking apps using our robust API integration. This offers employees the added benefit of being able to access parking data before they even leave their homes. Detailed real-time and legacy data is also available to you at any time right from your desk with Logix on Cloud.
