Your benefits

Tangible benefits for your organisation

Optimisation, cost savings and refinancing

Companies that rent parking save up to 30% of their rental costs, because existing spaces are shared instead of renting new ones. Landlords and operators achieve significantly higher utilisation by letting spaces several times over, and refinance space by subletting.

Sustainability and climate protection through fewer resources

Less driving around in search of a space and less parking area needed reduce the CO₂ footprint – and automation cuts the administrative effort, even across several sites and outlying entrances.

Scalable across sites for the mobility of tomorrow

Ideal for cost-effective retrofitting: book-n-use integrates seamlessly into existing systems and can be extended in every direction – for managing everything from EV chargers to Bike & Ride, or several sites.

Satisfied tenants, employees and visitors thanks to secure parking

Time slots and access that match actual demand mean securely reserved spaces, better availability and greater satisfaction – the transparent booking system is ideal for fair mobility management.

Two perspectives

Whether you rent parking or let it – book-n-use creates value on both sides

You rent parking

Save up to 30% of rental costs
Problem: Too few parking spaces for your employees – renting or building additional space is expensive.
Benefit: Not all employees are on site every day. With reservations and parking sharing, they share the existing spaces according to need, in a way everyone can plan for.
Example: After introducing book-n-use, Société Générale Securities Services cut its rental costs for parking by 30%. At Condor, 600 employees share 200 parking spaces – without renting any additional spaces.

You let parking

476 spaces bookable online
Problem: Spaces sit empty at times – in the evening or at the weekend, for example – and earn nothing during that time.
Benefit: Idle time slots become bookable: reservation, access and payment all run digitally through book-n-use – for significantly higher utilisation by letting spaces several times over, and refinancing through subletting.
Example: Since August 2023, residents and visitors have also been able to reserve and pay for the 476 spaces in TU Darmstadt’s Lichtwiese car park online.
