Workplace Optimization: Parking Bookings

Optimize parking resources by analyzing parking booking data and implementing effective parking management strategies

Updated over a year ago

Mapiq lets you set up parking lots and allows your employees to book parking spots. The data gathered in this report is based on booking behavior and the parking lots and booked zones. Examining these bookings lets you gain insights into popular parking lots (or zones). The parking bookings report is available to help you fully understand these insights!

🚨 Parking is an add-on that can be purchased for your subscription. It is not enabled by default. This report will not be visible if you do not have the parking add-on. Please get in touch with your Customer Success Manager for more information.

Metric

Description

Today's capacity of parking spots

Represents the total parking spots available today.

Parking spots are always available (based on peak bookings)

Represents the number of parking spots that are always available, calculated by subtracting the maximum number of bookings from the total number of parking spots.

The average percentage of booked parking spots

Represents the average percentage of bookings per day, calculated as follows: the sum of (booked / total parking spots) for each day divided by the number of days in the selected period.

Peak percentage of booked parking spots

When is it most busy?

Booked parking spots per location

This graph displays the average and maximum parking spot bookings, allowing you to compare data at different levels by clicking the compare buttons at the top (parking lots or parking zones). The graph is always sorted by average in descending order.
​
If you did not specify parking zones for a specific parking lot, the average bookings would be listed under Zone not defined for the Parking Zones view. The percentage label in the graph refers to the average (blue bar); you can hover over the maximum red line to view the percentage.

The red line indicates the maximum use of the location during the selected period, not the maximum capacity. For example, if your total capacity is 50 (100%) and the red line shows 70%, this means that during the selected period, the maximum number of bookings is 35 (70%). Total capacity was not reached during this period.
​

When is it most busy?

Booked parking spots over time

This graph helps you identify busy days with two different colors: red signifies high volume (>75%), and blue signifies low volume (=<75%). The bars represent the number of parking bookings made on a specific date.
​
If the Period filter is set to "Last four weeks," the graph will show the last four weeks, the current week, and the upcoming weeks. The week length depends on the "Week length" filter; it will include all seven days (including Saturday and Sunday) if the filter is set to 7 days. The workweek will be shown with a "Week length" of 5 days.
​
The trend lines indicate the total parking spot capacity for that specific date. The trend line is quite responsive to your active filters.
​

Booked parking spots per day of the week

The last graph in this report shows you the average percentage of booked parking spots per day of the week, providing insights into the usage patterns of your parking spots throughout the week. The red line, once again, indicates the maximum use of the parking spots.
