Ruoholahden Parking Oy: Parking with Eparking

The company also has 90 parking facilities and 25 separate outdoor parking areas with a total of 783 parking spaces. There is an electric pole for heating the car in all places, both in the parking garages and in exterior parking areas.
Old heating devices changed to remotely controlled Etolpi
Ruoholahden Parking Oy has had a huge entity with its various parking garages and outdoor parking spaces throughout the Ruoholahti area. Residents of the area and employees of companies in the area have previously booked parking spaces through Ruoholahti parking. The renovation of the parking lots began when residents began to inquire about the charging options for electric cars. After the reflections, Ruoholahti's parking decided to replace all the old heating posts in the parking lots and halls into intelligent remote controls, which would also be able to charge an electric car. At the same time, Ruoholahti's parking pondered easier solutions for renting and managing parking spaces - after all, they did a lot of work for the company's staff.
During the renewal and installation of the posts, Ruoholahti Parking decided to take remote control of the poles, parking spaces and leases, as well as users' billing for electricity and parking. In addition, Ruoholahti parking wanted to reduce the workload of its staff and facilitate the issue and maintenance of parking permits. EParking is an excellent solution for large and complex entities such as Ruoholahti parking, as it can be easily customized for any object. The customer is able to select solutions that are right for their needs from an extensive range of services for Eparking. EParking will significantly reduce the workload of the subject's personnel as the management of parking spaces is transferred to EParking.
All payment transactions are done in one place or EParking system
Renting parking spaces in the Ruoholahti area is based on a resident address. When applying for a parking space, the resident declares his or her address in the EParking system. If the resident's address matches the Ruoholahti area, the system grants permission. The automatic system significantly reduces the work on the issue of parking spaces and reduces the stages of renting parking spaces and ethols.
Charging and heating electricity used by residents and companies in the Ruoholahti area is conveniently successful in eparking. Payments for heating electricity have previously been included in the rent of parking spaces, but it has been difficult to estimate electricity sales. Now the use of the ethol is through the EParking application. Etolppa measures the amount of electricity used by the user and stores the data on the EParking service, which automatically creates the invoice for the user. The invoice comes to the user according to the billing interval selected by this. In addition, the resident can also pay the rent of their parking space, as the invoice will also be made into the EParking system. Ruoholahti's parking itself decides the prices for heating and charging electricity and rent for parking spaces.
Expenses and abuse under control
Eparking and etholpas also reduce the cost and abuse of the poles. In the past, Ruoholahti parking had to collect rent security from parking spaces to cover the cost of the losses that have lost the posts. There are no keys in the new Etolp in the area that could lose. Instead, the Tolp has an opening handle and a locked keyboard that opens through the Eparking application. Thus, only those with a parking permit and a valid lease to the parking lot and the etholp in the EParking system can only be used.
The rental of parking spaces and ethols moved to Eparking in early October 2022. The installation of the new ethols was completed well before the start of the heating season, so users can immediately get to know the use of the ethols. There are also more efficient electric car charging posts in the area for those who need one.
All in all, when the resident adopts an eparking, he does not need two different operators for parking and parking charging posts, so the cost is significantly reduced. Everything is done with one system - eparking!
