The challenges Orange was facing

Finding enough parking spaces for their employees

The first problem for Orange was the lack of parking spaces for their employees in the crowded area of its regional offices at two sites in Lyon Part Dieu. It was therefore crucial for Orange to find enough parking spaces so that all employees would be able to park easily and quickly so that the mobility experience was good from the beginning. 

Improving the parking management of the company

A second challenge Orange needed to improve seriously was whether its managing access for the mobility team or booking and releasing their spot was easy for the employees. 

The solutions offered

It is through the owner of the office building, with whom BePark collaborates on other subjects, that Orange contacted our company to explore these two challenges and help their employees improve their mobility experience.

• BePark quickly found 4 parking lots located less than 500 meters away from Orange's new offices. BePark and Orange organized a provision of the 4 parking lots in three waves corresponding to the arrival of the employees on site. Therefore, the first problem of finding parking places for the employees was solved
• Secondly, with BePark's parking management software, Orange is able to manage the parking and the access online. It allows employees to manage their parking spot and their access in the parking directly through an application
• The employees save precious time and this improves the total satisfaction of the company

The results due to the efforts of Orange and BePark

Orange has successfully increased the empowerment of its employees thanks to BePark's smart parking solutions. Now Orange has the ability to offer its employees a perfect parking solution located a stone’s throw away from their office. Furthermore, the collaboration made the life of the mobility team of Orange much easier, thanks to the parking management system. This makes it for the parking admins more easy to grant different types of access for the parking users.

Figures:

• Created 110 parking spots on 4 different parking lots
• 2 parking lots are managed via BePark Platform for an optimal parking usage
