Take advantage of all features

We host the solution for you and update it for free automatically. You don’t need to do anything, we are taking care of everything!
Discover how it works, the various end-user features and administrator features below.

Features

1. Create the car park

You create the virtual car park on the subscription page. Your private car park space will be created with a format like the following one:

https://app.mycarspot.io/mycompany

This secured private space is dedicated to your organization. You have full control over who has access to the service.

The virtual space is available 24/7 from the web or from mobile applications.

2. Add users and spaces

You declare car park space owners, spaces which have no users and space requesters.

Space owners will regularly declare if they need their space or not.

Requesters will be able to ask for a space at any time, up to 4 weeks before.

You can allow new requesters to create their account in a self-service mode to minimize the administration.

 

3. Enjoy!

You can take advantage of the automated space allocation!

Empty spaces are automatically allocated daily around noon for the next day, depending on availabilities.

Space owners validating their needs will always be sure to have their space. You can define priorities in the way spaces are allocated to requesters.

Available for Android and iPhone

Mobile applications are great to define your needs in few seconds.

The mobile apps are available for free on Google Play or the Apple Store.

You will use the same user identifiers as the one you use to connect on the web and will receive instant notifications when you receive a parking space or when your space is given for the day to someone else.

You can declare your needs up to 4 weeks ahead of time and can change your mind at any time.

Mobile applications: it’s the best to check which space you have received and to get the parking map or access instructions.

 
Statistics in your pocket!

If you are an administrator, you have access to parking statistics and to administration features from your iPhone.

 

 

 

Instant notifications

Instant notifications enable to know when you receive a parking space for the next day or when your space has been allocated to someone else.

Space owners

Every Monday space owners will receive a reminder to update the needs for the next few weeks. They can also confirm their needs at any time.

By default, space owners have to confirm in one click that they use the parking space. Otherwise, the space is considered as available for the other users. It’s great to make sure everyone regularly maintains an accurate occupancy planning.

However, you can decide that the owner is a VIP user, which means that the parking space is by default considered as used. The user doesn’t need to connect and the space is available only if the owner has explicitly declared it as available.

Space requesters

Space requesters can request for a parking space up to 4 weeks ahead of time.

Every day around noon, empty parking spaces are allocated to the space requesters. It leaves enough time for space owners to change their mind up and for space requesters to be notified soon enough to know where to park the next day.

Space requesters receive an email and a mobile app notification to let them know on which space they have received together with the link to the parking map or access instructions. Space owners are also notified to know that their space is allocated to someone else for the day.

Parking spaces without owners are also allocated to space requesters.

Parking space owner or not

A parking space can be allocated to someone. In this case, the parking space owner has to regularly confirm using it (unless the owner is declared as a VIP users).

However, a parking space can be left unallocated and MyCarSpot’s algorithm will first take this type of space to allocate to parking requesters. Next, MyCarSpot’s algorithm will take the parking spaces declared empty by parking space owners.

Electric vehicle, disable space, bike, motorbike…

MyCarSpot can manage several type of parking spaces:

  • Electric vehicle space,
  • Disabled space,
  • Bicycle space,
  • Motorbike space,
  • Space limited to small cars.
MyCarSpot allocates parking spaces depending on user needs as indicated in their account. For example, a requester for an electric vehicle will receive this type of space unless there is no more available and the user has agreed to receive a standard parking space for this use case.

Small car spaces are ideal to manage complex parking spaces where large SUVs will not fit.

Parking and user management

You can have as many administrators as you want for your car park. An administrator has full control over users (creation, modification, deletion), over requests or reservations and over parking settings.

An administrator can make changes on behalf of other users.

The parking administration is easy to use and you don’t need to do anything once the system is in place. The parking will be automatically managed.

Administrators have full reports on the parking usage and access to an exhaustive log history.

Statistics and detailed reports

The administrator has access to parking statistics and can download data to create additional reports.

On average our Customers virtually benefit from 20% to 30% of additional parking spaces compared to a traditional way of managing a car park.!

Reports which can be downloaded provide data on who receives parking spaces, who is granting its space, parking occupancy ratio, and more.

Number plate recognition camera

MyCarSpot can control a camera which will recognize the car number plates.

If the user vehicle is expected for the day on the car park, the gate or parking door will be opened automatically.

You can leave the existing infrastructure in place like badge readers and add the camera to your gate control systems.

We can put you in contact with camera installer professionals.

An IoT module to open the gate

An IoT module is a small box which is connected to the Internet and to your gate control system.

An additional button is added in the MyCarSpot application if you have access to a parking space on the day. You just need to press the button to open the gate or parking garage door. It’s magic!

The module can replace your existing remote control needs or badges. However, you can also keep everything which has already been installed.
