Private Parking

Telemetric reached out with many ideas and a strong desire to develop a new product. After extensive discussions, we decided to split the original development into two parts that shared some characteristics. That’s how we started with Private Parking, and later continued with City Parking.

The concept of Private Parking is very simple: to provide a tool for owners of Private Parking Lots (commonly called “Garages”) on public streets, so they can manage them from anywhere, without needing to be physically present. At the same time, for pedestrians, an app that simplifies booking their stay.

Little by little and step by step, development progressed steadily. Many features were successfully implemented and very well received.

From the web version, designed so that both employees (on-site) and owners (remotely) could view and manage real-time activity. Some of its main features:

• Management of multiple establishments in a single account
• Determination of available spaces by vehicle type
• Rate definition by vehicle type and combos for longer stays
• Adaptation for monthly contracts (Fixed Garage)
• Real-time Occupancy Level
• Allow entries/exits within the contracted period, which also creates the concept of virtual occupancy (the space is occupied/unavailable, but the vehicle is not physically there)
• Payment and stay history
• Cash register Opening and Closing
• Employee access authorization by day and time
• Cash payments and Online payments via payment gateway
• QR scanning
• Mark full occupancy for certain types of vehicles
• Activate “Leave Key” mode so drivers know they can leave their vehicle, as long as they leave the keys with it

And for drivers, an app was created that allows them to find a place to park their vehicle conveniently and easily, according to their preferences. This app includes:

• User registration and validation by email
• List of active stays
• Creation of new stays via QR scan
• Ending a stay also with QR scan to confirm presence on site
• Payment through PagoTIC
• Management of multiple vehicles
• List of available parking lots on a map, according to preferences

I am deeply grateful for the full trust they placed in me to carry out the development. It was a great pleasure to work with them. And I trust that we will meet again soon to keep brainstorming together.
