Advantages of digital parking space management compared to barrier systems

Did you know that almost half of all car drivers in German cities park incorrectly?
According to an analysis by Agora Verkehrswende, the rate of parking violations is between 44% and 60% — and this applies not only to public parking spaces, but also to private parking spaces, for example by retailers. This challenge is forcing many parking lot operators to switch to modern parking space management systems. Digital solutions such as those from Wemolo are increasingly replacing traditional barrier systems and analog concepts.

In contrast to barriers and paper tickets, Wemolo's system relies entirely on a digital, camera-based solution. But it's not just about abolishing paper tickets — the benefits of digital parking space management are far more comprehensive.

Three advantages of digital parking space management

‍

1. More customer satisfaction

Barrier systems are often cumbersome: Customers have to draw a ticket, keep it and pay later at the vending machine. Especially after a long shopping trip, this can lead to frustration — whether due to lost tickets, queues at the pay machine or backlogs at the exit.

Even worse: In the event of a technical failure, customers remain “locked in” in the parking garage until a technician fixes the problem.

With Wemolo's free-flow system, such annoyances are a thing of the past. Camera-based scanners capture license plates as they enter and exit, without barriers or tickets. Parking fees can be paid either directly at the pay machine by entering the number plate or conveniently online within 24 hours of departure. Users of the EasyPark app also benefit: With the “CameraPark” function, parking starts and stops automatically.

2. Lower installation and maintenance costs

Parking space management can be expensive: According to Agora Verkehrswende, the annual costs per parking space range from 60€ to 300€. For larger parking areas with hundreds of parking spaces, these amounts add up quickly. Barrier systems not only cause high purchase and installation costs, but also require regular maintenance and repairs — whether due to technical defects or damage caused by users.

Wemolo's digital solution requires significantly less maintenance. Thanks to the combination of intelligent hardware and software, system updates and bug fixes can be carried out remotely. This minimizes both personnel costs and ongoing operating costs.

3. Simplified management through digitization

Wemolo goes beyond simply installing scanners. With an individual parking concept, the management of your space is tailored exactly to your needs. Appropriate parking times and goodwill arrangements will be determined together in advance. After implementing the system, Wemolo also offers you comprehensive support — without complicated call center processes.

Management is carried out digitally via an intuitive dashboard. Long-term parking rights for employees or special guests can be managed with just a few clicks. There is no need to distribute physical access cards altogether, which significantly reduces administrative costs.
