Rescuing B2B Parking Control Lost in Migration

Our Client’s Backstory

Our client provides people and vehicle access solutions in more than 100 countries. Their platforms manage vehicle access at airports, ski resorts, shopping malls, office buildings, and large urban parking facilities.

As part of an infrastructure modernization effort, the client was migrating their parking management system from a legacy platform to a new eCommerce platform. The migration improved scalability and user experience, but one control that the client's enterprise contracts depend on had no equivalent in the new system: the ability for operators to limit how many parkers from a given business customer can occupy a car park at the same time.

The Challenges

The gap only became visible once enterprise accounts were being prepared for migration, and it touched contracts, daily operations, and the client's B2B relationships.

• A contractual control with no migration path: The legacy system let operators enforce contracted parking allocations per business customer. Without an equivalent, existing enterprise agreements risked becoming unenforceable on the new platform.

• Multi-level allocation complexity: Business customers hold a global allocation across all car parks, plus separate limits per individual car park and per product. Hence, the control had to count correctly on all levels at the same time.

• Reactive enforcement: With no real-time occupancy data per customer, car park, and product, capacity breaches could only be detected after the fact. That meant overbooking risk, allocation disputes, and manual reconciliation work.

• Risk of silent failure on incomplete data: The counting service receives its car park data from other services. If that data was missing or out of sync, a naive implementation would keep letting vehicles through against limits it could not actually evaluate, and the miscounts would go unnoticed until a customer complained.

• No self-service visibility for business clients: Business customers could not see their own live parking usage. Managing entitlements internally was impossible, and parking operators absorbed a steady volume of inquiries.

The Result

The migration delivered its intended modernization without sacrificing the controls the client's enterprise business depends on.

Full capability parity with the legacy platform

Operators kept granular, contract-level control over how parking capacity is distributed across business accounts, car parks, and products.

Preventive enforcement

Capacity breaches are now blocked at the point of entry in real time, replacing after-the-fact detection and manual reconciliation.

Reduced operator workload

Business clients manage their own entitlements through live self-service visibility, which cut the volume of operational inquiries reaching operators.

Zero-disruption rollout

Gradual, tenant-scoped activation brought the feature live with no impact on existing accounts.

Proven at flagship scale

The capability runs in production at one of Europe's largest airports, enforcing contracted allocations under high-frequency real-world traffic.
