Products for digital access control

With the book-n-use booking and management portal, you control smart parking barriers 4.0, barriers, gates, doors, cycle and parcel lockers digitally. Nothing runs through an app – everything works in the browser: the smartphone sends commands to the book-n-use cloud, which passes them on to the device. For the smart parking barrier 4.0, response time is around one second.

Supported modules

One portal. Many devices.

Many other devices can be connected to book-n-use and their access managed in the same way. Electric gates, doors, barriers, bike and parcel lockers, EV chargers or shared rooms – book-n-use is the platform for shared assets, with your smartphone as the “open sesame”.

Where it is used

Where book-n-use is in use

Workplace parking

Better utilisation of company car parks, reservation and access control for parking areas and/or individual spaces – or app-based space allocation with presence checks using number plates.

Customer and visitor parking

Access to dedicated individual spaces under high parking pressure, time-limited access for visitors and customers – usable without registering in an app, or released centrally by reception.

Multi-storey car parks

Individual app-based access to rented areas of multi-storey car parks – ideal for special uses such as EV charging, VIP parking or customer parking, with central control and monitoring for facility managers.

Cycle parking

Access for employees, secure and convenient storage in individual lockers and/or bike cages – optionally with e-bike charging.

Public transport stops

Interchanges between car and bike: secure reservation of individual spaces for commuters, convenience services for cyclists and integration into local authorities’ citizen apps.

Sports grounds & allotments

Access to gates and doors with energy-efficient outdoor locks that need no separate power supply – time-based access for coaches, players, members and service providers.

Web app

Web app for operators

From the dashboard you can grant parking and access rights in seconds, manage users and change settings – with no keys, tokens or access cards to hand out. All functions can be tailored and combined to suit your needs.

Granting and revoking access rights

Allow and block access by time and location, with multi-tenant management.

Visitor bookings

Visitors get time-limited access and can open entrances themselves.

Device status and control

Live status of all devices (e.g. open/closed), with control possible at any time (“digital master key”).

Payment

Set up your own payment models, such as linear pricing, tiered pricing or a maximum charge.

Presence detection

Access can optionally be granted only with additional on-site presence, e.g. PIN entry or number plate recognition.

Misuse prevention

Misuse is detected through no-show lists and number plate checks; users can be blocked.

Private use & community

Private access visible only to closed user groups – optionally shared with all users (public sharing).

Personalisation

Your own design with a logo on the login page and location selection, and your own wording in reservation emails.

Reporting & monitoring

The portal is available in German, English, Italian and French – entrances can optionally open automatically as you approach.
