Enhanced Customer Experience with Mobile E-commerce

The project introduced a mobile e-commerce solution, streamlining the customer journey to its simplest form. Once registered, customers can drive in, park, and drive out with payment automatically processed upon exit. This system eliminates the need for queuing at pay stations and fully automates the parking experience.

Market Sensitivity and Customer Base Expansion

Understanding the price sensitivity of parking in the area, the project successfully expanded the car park's customer base. This retail car park now generates revenue from a broader group of users, including commuters and leisure visitors, while still providing ample space for core retail shoppers.
