Clear 100 car parking spaces at your place of work by introducing a Car Sharing Kiosk System.

 

Do you have over 500 staff and face a HUGE car parking problem daily?



We are an IT company that specialise in Car Sharing Kiosk Systems that can greatly reduce car parking problems at work.


Car parking is becoming an increasingly serious problem for many places of work. There are many places of work that simply do not have enough car parking spaces.

 

This is growing problem among many large businesses and organisations and if the problem is left it will only get bigger. For example a company could easily expand and take on more staff but simply have nowhere for them to park.

 

Powergen came to us with this very problem in 2003.

Their headquarters had a very busy car park that played host to queues of traffic at peak times, causing jams in the car park in the mornings, leading to disgruntled employees making regular complaints to facilities!

 

Keeping the car parks clear is certainly a problem any facilities department could do without. And Powergen wanted to expand their site!

 

This was enough to make the decision to invest in an Employee travel scheme where staff would be rewarded for travelling to work in a Green manner.

A green manner could be:

 

 

·         Car Sharing

·         Taking a bus

·         Catching a Train

·         Cycling

·         Walking

 

Powergen’s mission was to have everybody rewarded for travelling to work, as long as they did not arrive in a car on their own.

 

 

Why reward employees for travelling to work?


Through surveying, we’ve discovered that unless an incentive is put in place, people simply will not give up their personal space in their car in the morning.

 

This is why other products on the market fail.

 

There are a couple of products available - a branded car sharing site being the most popular. Employees register, find a colleague that lives close by and get in touch to travel together.

 

This kind of product is a nice idea, but they very rarely work on a large scale.

 

Why?

 

Usually the products are boring and generally, employees simply aren’t motivated to share their car with another person.

 

The good news is that the incentive need only be small to greatly boost your car share numbers.

 

There was another reason that Powergen saw it necessary to incentivise Green Travel.

That was to be more ‘Green’.

 

 

 

Being Green as a Company


There is growing Government pressure on all large companies and organisations to be more green, with particular pressures on Electricity, Gas and Travel companies as they are the biggest producers of CO2.

 

A great way to increase you companies Carbon Footprint is to improve the way your employees travel to work.

 

 

The Fastt Green Reward Scheme

 

 

We’ve developed system for rewarding employees for Green Travel that is a modern, visually exciting, reliable, practical and a great addition to your workplace.

 

We are unique with out offering as there is no other product on the market that facilitates rewards for car sharing.

 

We have proven that the way to get people to Green Travel to work is to introduce a Car Sharing Scheme that is interesting, visual, fun to use and most importantly, gives the user an incentive to use it!

 

As a testimony to this, our system is currently being used in numerous locations around the UK.

 

A typical system is comprised of 1 to 4 touch-screen kiosks and a central server.

 

 

 

How does it work?

 

On arrival at work users swipe a card (it can be the existing access card) at the kiosk and log their mode of Green Travel for that day.

 

·         Car Share

·         Motorcycle

·         Green Traveller (walk, cycle, bus, train etc)



Every time a user logs a Green Travel event at the Kiosk they are rewarded points.

 

Points can then be transformed into anything you and your company wish.

 

Some examples of rewards currently being awarded are:

 

·         Company Bonus Bonds

·         Company Currency, exchangeable for high street shopping vouchers or holidays

 

 

Another great example is time off in lieu.

 

 

Why not let a member of staff go home 1 hour early on the last Friday of every month if they Green Travel every day that month?

Results

 

We’ve seen some great results with this system and some sites have experienced up to 10% of staff travelling to work in a green manner.

 

If 10% of the staff car share on a 2000 staff site, approximately 100 car parking spaces will be made available!

 

This sort of number solves most car parking problems.

 

 

 

 

 

Cost-Benefits

The complete system, including delivery, installation and all set up cost start from £7,499. This may seem like a lot of money, but maintaining an additional car park for 12 months can cost TEN TIMES that alone!
