Initial situation: Challenges in the use of parking space
Before the introduction of the Wemolo solution, REWE Richrath suffered from frequent third-party use of the parking spaces. Parking spaces intended for REWE customers were occupied by non-customers, especially at peak times, which impaired customer satisfaction. Added to this were the challenges of integrating third-party providers such as bakeries and managing e-charging stations. These complex requirements necessitated a modern, flexible system that would both ensure availability and simplify operational processes.
Solution: Digitalization and flexibility for maximum results
The implementation of Wemolo's technology enabled REWE Richrath to efficiently transform parking space utilization and achieve measurable improvements:
Camera-based parking space monitoring
License plate scanners were installed at all locations to record vehicles entering and leaving the car park. This led to a significant improvement in parking space availability of up to 90%, as third-party parkers were efficiently excluded.
Digital parking space management
Parking authorizations can be flexibly managed via the intuitive customer portal. Third-party providers such as bakeries receive QR codes that allow their customers to easily extend their parking time. This function improves the customer experience and promotes a relaxed shopping atmosphere.
Data analysis and capacity management
Using real-time data from the Wemolo dashboard, REWE Richrath analyses the usage patterns of the parking spaces and optimizes capacities in a targeted manner. These data-based insights enable better management of peak times and efficient long-term planning.
Flexible rental of parking spaces
Unused parking spaces are rented out via the WemoloBooking platform, generating additional income of up to 600 euros per month. Whether for short-term or long-term parkers - the system enables sustainable use of the parking spaces.
Integration of e-charging stations
The existing infrastructure of e-charging stations has been seamlessly integrated. Vehicles with extended charging times benefit from special regulations that allow longer parking times without affecting availability for other customers.
With over 12 locations in Germany, REWE Richrath was faced with the challenge of improving the organization and utilization of its parking spaces. With the help of Wemolo's digital parking space monitoring, a solution was implemented that makes parking operations more efficient and significantly increases availability for customers.

Frequently Asked Questions
The cost of installing the digital system varies depending on the site-specific conditions of the parking lot and its size. We will be happy to advise you in an initial non-binding consultation to develop a customized solution for your parking lot and provide you with an initial cost estimate. Please contact us and our parking experts will get back to you as soon as possible.
The hardware required for parking space management remains the property of Wemolo GmbH for the duration of the contract and is therefore not purchased by you. Wemolo is responsible for the reliable operation of the hardware.
Wemolo can find a solution for almost any parking space. In a non-binding consultation, we will be happy to show you what needs to be considered in your parking area. In principle, clearly recognizable entrances and exits, a power connection (230V) and good data reception (LTE/5G) are advantageous.
The license plate scanners are installed near the driveway. The exact position varies from location to location. Our license plate scanners have a range of up to 100m and can scan a width of approx. 12m. They can therefore be mounted on facades, lamp posts or roofs.
Third-party and long-term parkers who park their vehicles without authorization are detected by our system and automatically receive a penalty notice.
General terms and conditions and information signs are installed in every parking space to draw attention to the fact that this is a customer parking space with a corresponding maximum parking time. The corresponding contractual penalty for non-compliance is also clearly visible. In paid parking areas, these signs are supplemented by others that explain the parking process using the digital system. The signs are large and clearly visible at the entrances and exits and in the parking area. Vehicle owners agree to the T&Cs by driving into the parking lot.
Our digital parking space surveillance uses electronic means to monitor your parking spaces. Cameras use AI-based software to reliably record the license plates of all vehicles - without the need for a barrier.
The use of digital systems makes it possible to optimize parking times. The use of parking spaces is made efficient with the help of parking time limits and long parking times are avoided. The parking time limitation takes place in consultation with your individual needs at your location.
Companies benefit from the fact that the search for a parking space is optimized for customers and thus a customer-friendly atmosphere is created, as nothing else has to be considered. By optimising parking lot monitoring, the workload for your employees is also reduced.
