Product showcase: Parking Permits

For years, Liftshare has been advancing it’s technologies to not only ensure that we find our members the best matches with others travelling to the same place, but also how we can help our clients monitor who is sharing a journey within their business’ car parks.

Additional to the Liftshare platform that allows businesses to operate, manage and maintain their carsharing scheme, we offer a range of products that we are continuously improving and developing:

  • Trip Authentication
  • Scoping Smart Mobility Tool
  • myPTP
  • Professional Services
  • Parking Permits

The Liftshare Parking Permits service helps to make running dedicated car share bays an automated process. Your staff have the option to download a permit for their Liftshare team from the platform which they can print and display in their vehicle.

Liftshare Parking Permits are available to all our clients and are unique to each Liftshare team that is created on the system.

So, what is displayed on the Parking Permit?

  • Member Name (of who printed the permit)
  • Liftshare Team ID
  • User ID
  • Company logo
  • Date printed
  • Our logo
  • Unique QR code

There are two options for a scheme to manage Parking Permits, these are:

  1. Allow the Liftshare Scheme Manager to be the only one to download a parking permit on behalf of their employees
  2. Allow all members of your Liftshare community to download their own permits.

If you’re allowing members of your Liftshare community to download their own permit, they can do this by logging in, forming a team by sending and accepting a ‘Request to share’ and then selecting the ‘Liftshare Teams tab’:

Once they are on the ‘Liftshare Teams tab’, they can then download their parking permit:

What’s coming soon for the Parking Permits product?

Log when a permit is viewed

This will be shown on the dashboard when you search for a member, and will allow the Liftshare Scheme Manager (LSM) to see whether the member or an LSM has seen the permit.

This will allow the Liftshare Scheme Manager additional monitoring, as they will be able to see whether the member has found their permit, and is just not utilising it properly.

Show community scheme questions on the Parking Permit

Liftshare has over 700 clients across the UK. Some of our clients want specific information from their members when they sign up. These questions range from employee number to vehicle registration. Some of our clients have asked for the ability to choose which question and answer appears on the parking permits, which could look like this:
