The innovation that has conquered Germany: an app to locate, book and pay for parking directly from your smartphone.
Approach & Solution
Approach
Among the collaborations with multinational companies, we cannot fail to mention that which exists with T-Systems, an ICT services multinational belonging to the Deutsche Telekom group, one of the leading IT companies in Europe.
The goal of T-Systems was to create a 100% digital solution for managing the entire parking process, from searching for a parking space to booking and paying: Park and Joy, which is now available in some 50 German cities.
Solution
Engineering role was to provide Park and Joy's back-office and front-end enabling technological components.
The back-office, based on INES Cloud, is responsible for managing users, tariffs and transactions, and in particular makes it possible to:
- Enter and update the tariffs in force in the city, organized by tariff areas established by municipal regulations
- Make payments by credit card or directly with your telephone credit
- Provide city administrations with a dashboard containing statistics and reports on payments made
- Transmit, thanks to specific APIs, information on parking purchased by users so that they can be consulted by inspection staff.
