Wrong parking? Not with Wemolo!

With Wemolo, you can keep your parking spaces free and increase the profitability and efficiency of your spaces at the same time. Get started now - without effort, but with maximum added value!

Did you know that almost half of all drivers in German cities park incorrectly?
According to an analysis by Agora Verkehrswende, the rate of parking violations is between 44% and 60% - and this applies not only to public parking spaces, but also to private parking spaces, such as those of retailers. This challenge is forcing many parking lot operators to switch to modern parking management systems. Digital solutions such as those from Wemolo are increasingly replacing traditional barrier systems and analog concepts.

In contrast to barriers and paper tickets, Wemolo's system relies entirely on a digital, camera-based solution. But it's not just about doing away with paper tickets - the benefits of digital parking management are far more comprehensive.

Four advantages of digital parking space management

1. more customer satisfaction

Barrier systems are often inconvenient: customers have to take a ticket, keep it and pay later at the machine. This can lead to frustration, especially after a long shopping trip - be it due to lost tickets, queues at the ticket machine or backlogs at the exit.

Even worse: in the event of a technical failure, customers remain "locked" in the parking garage until a technician fixes the problem.

With Wemolo's free-flow system, such annoyances are a thing of the past. Camera-based scanners record license plates on entry and exit, without the need for barriers or tickets. Parking fees can be paid either directly at the pay station by entering the license plate number or conveniently online within 24 hours of exiting. Users of the EasyPark app also benefit: with the "CameraPark" function, the parking process starts and stops automatically.

2. lower costs for installation and maintenance

Parking space management can be expensive: According to Agora Verkehrswende, the annual cost per parking space is between €60 and €300. For larger parking areas with hundreds of parking spaces, these amounts quickly add up. Barrier systems not only cause high acquisition and installation costs, but also require regular maintenance and repairs - whether due to technical defects or damage caused by users.

Wemolo's digital solution requires significantly less maintenance. Thanks to the combination of intelligent hardware and software, system updates and troubleshooting can be carried out remotely. This minimizes both personnel costs and ongoing operating costs.

3. simpler administration through digitalization

Wemolo goes beyond the mere installation of scanners. With an individual parking space concept, the management of your space is tailored precisely to your needs. Suitable parking times and goodwill regulations are defined together in advance. Once the system has been introduced, Wemolo also offers you comprehensive support - without complicated call center processes.

Management is done digitally via an intuitive dashboard. Permanent parking rights for employees or special guests can be managed with just a few clicks. The distribution of physical access cards is completely eliminated, which significantly reduces the administrative effort.
