Remant Optimizes Parking with Smart Technology

Remant was facing a recurring issue with double-parking spots. These spots were often left unused because employees didn’t want the hassle of finding the person blocking their car when leaving. This led to unnecessary use of expensive external parking. Rather than expanding their parking facilities, Remant turned to Chark for an innovative solution.

"Chark helps us make better use of our parking spaces. We now have clear visibility into how our parking policy is applied, and the buddy system makes it easy for colleagues to coordinate. Automatic SMS notifications make it simple for those sharing spots to let others know when they're leaving work."

The Solution: Parking reservation system

Together with Remant, Chark designed a streamlined and user-friendly platform that simplified how parking spaces are allocated and managed:

Dynamic reallocation

When a colleague is absent due to vacation, sickness, or remote work, their parking spot is automatically released for other colleagues to use

Freed-up spots are automated through Chark’s integration with Remant’s HR system, Officient.

Colleague coordination

Double parking solved through Buddy system.

Technologically:  Colleagues parked in a double-parking spot are automatically linked in the app as buddies. When someone needs to leave, they can easily notify their buddy blocking their car.

Socially: The app displays linked users as buddies. This visibility creates a sense of connection and accountability, which helps with day-to-day parking coordination.

The Results: A Smoother Parking Experience

Since implementing Chark, Remant has seen significant improvements in parking efficiency and employee satisfaction:

• Better use of double-parking spots: Previously avoided spaces are now used daily. The buddy system makes coordination easy and helps avoid stress around blocked cars, while also reducing the need for expensive external parking.
• Less parking stress: Colleagues know in advance where they can park, making mornings smoother and more relaxed.
• More flexibility: When someone is absent, their spot is automatically reallocated. No manual work needed.
• Support for sustainable choices: A clear view of available parking encourages colleagues to consider alternatives like biking.
