Xero UK

The Xero UK team recently moved to a purpose-built office in Milton Keynes and knew they had to find a better way to manage their parking. In their previous office, Xero had wanted everyone driving in to work to have a fair opportunity to park onsite. The problem was that the business only had a dozen swipe cards to access the car park.

In an attempt to make parking fairer for everyone, each department was given one swipe card to use as they pleased. This meant relying on swipe cards being regularly and fairly passed around each member of every department (if they weren’t already lost). It’s not surprising to know that this well-intentioned system meant that parking ended up being neither fair nor accessible.

Due to this manual system, Xero’s administration team also had zero visibility or insight into car park usage and availability without manually checking the car park during the day.

Now, the 75 car parks at the new Milton Keynes office are available for all Xero employees to book through the Parkable app. Any employee driving into the office can simply request a car park for the day that they are in and plan their commute.

With Parkable, parking is no longer a pain point, instead Xero have turned it into an opportunity to demonstrate their #human value to their employees, and improve the experience of every team member driving to work.

At the new Xero UK HQ, parking is fairly allocated, seamlessly booked, easily managed, and a whole lot more #human.
