An office move meant halving staff parking
In 2017, Datacom New Zealand consolidated its 6 Auckland offices into 3, which reduced their parking space from 600 to 300 bays. Datacom hoped that the reduction in parking space could be resolved through encouraging staff to use other modes of transport, and using their 300 bays as efficiently as possible. There was also concern about making the transition as smooth and easy as possible for staff.
Viewing the challenge as an opportunity
Datacom approached Parkable prior to the transition in late 2016, and we worked together closely to provide a solution which included bespoke functions, specific to Datacom’s business needs. Today, hundreds of Datacom employees use Parkable to park each month.

Increased occupancy and reduced lease costs
The efficiency of car park use has dramatically improved for Datacom since 2017, with daily car park occupancy increased 15% on average since implementing Parkable. This is due to the visibility of parking availability, which enables staff to plan their commutes more effectively, and the financial incentives given to staff when sharing their park with colleagues. The Parkable model also significantly reduces Datacom’s cost for leasing the parking space.
