I. Context

• Many consultants on assignment do not have a parking space at their clients' premises, as the clients are not obliged to provide them with one. These consultants are, therefore, confronted with a parking problem on a daily basis. They need a parking solution close to the offices of their different clients.
• Difficulty for the fleet manager to implement a parking policy for various reasons: high staff turnover, need for flexibility of employees and consultants, multi-site management. They need a parking management solution to have a better visibility on the parking lot and to be able to implement a parking policy.

II. Challenge

• Finding a parking solution for consultants on assignment: Ensuring that each consultant has a parking space close to their clients' offices. This is key to avoid wasting time and to control parking costs.

• Having a better visibility on the parking lot of employees and consultants: Need for visibility on all parking information for the Capgemini site but also for the various parking lots used by the consultants to be able to estimate the needs of each one.
• Optimizing the use of the company's parking lot. Being able to implement a parking policy that takes into account the different access needs of the various profiles within the company. This parking policy will allow a smartest use of the parking lot.

III. Solution

Solution 1: Using BePark parking management software

The BePark solution was installed in the parking lot of Altran's headquarters in Belgium.

• Implementation of the parking policy via easy-to-use software
• Increase parking occupancy with comprehensive parking reports
• Centralized management and allocation of the different types of access to the parking lot
• Visibility of the entrances and exits of the parking lot thanks to a clear dashboard
• Access to the parking lot simply via ANPR or via the BePark application on a smartphone

Solution 2: parking spaces made available to consultants

Capgemini can now rely on BePark to find parking spaces for consultants on assignment. These spaces can be located in a parking lot
operated by BePark but also in a parking lot owned by our partners.

• Flexible parking solution: Minimum 3-month lease terminable at any time after this period. No minimum
  number of parking spaces to be reserved within the parking lot. Customized parking solution for consultants.
• Cost reduction for the customer: The cost of renting these parking spaces is significantly less than the cost of
  parking in a public or on-street parking lot. The amount charged to the client for the consultant will be lower.
• Visibility on the consultants' parking lot: The fleet manager can see the access lists of the consultants in the different
  parking lots. This allows an understanding of parking usage and faster decision-making if the space is no longer occupied.
• Possibility of pooling consultant parking spaces: If several consultants working for the same client do not have the same parking needs, it is possible to define a number of parking spaces that they will share.

IV. Results

574 Registered users on the BePark platform (employees and consultants combined). The fleet manager has visibility on the parking lot of all these users.

95% Occupancy rate of the company's parking lot during the day.

Flexible parking solution for the consultants: Capgemini can now quickly and easily find parking spaces for its consultants regardless of the location and duration of their assignment.
