CTG Luxembourg is introducing dynamic car park management at its 2 sites and turning company car parks into an HR asset thanks to Sharvy.

Context of CTG Luxembourg

Every day, 200,000 cross-border workers travel to their jobs in Luxembourg, and many of them make the journey by car. In its forecasts, the Grand Duchy predicts a 40% increase in travel by 2035.

With this in mind, car parks are seen as a means of regulating traffic and are one of the fundamental levers for controlling mobility. This is one of the main concerns of companies like CTG in Luxembourg.

At the beginning of 2022, CTG Luxembourg is implementing a specific action program to address the issue of employee car parking. Against a backdrop of limited available space, the company decided to allocate certain parking spaces, as the number of spaces on CTG’s 2 sites was notoriously inadequate : 62 on one site and 18 on the other, for 300 employees.

However, the traditional policy of allocating parking spaces by name had one drawback : it was out of the question for a colleague to park on a space even if it was vacant when he or she arrived. This statutory preference was a little anachronistic in the light of current practices, and ended up costing CTG dearly, as it reimbursed the parking costs of all its employees who drove.

Setting up of Sharvy

Post-COVID, CTG has extended the possibility of teleworking to 2 days a week for all its staff. Working patterns are becoming more individualised, managed at team level, and staff are no longer all on site at the same time. Attendance schedules are more flexible and less predictable. This provided a favourable context for introducing dynamic car park management.

The project began in early 2022, and the Sharvy application was deployed in July. With its optimisation algorithms, the Sharvy application takes advantage of variations in occupancy and fills the car park fairly, according to the reservation requests it receives. What’s more, the Sharvy application can easily adapt to the specific features of each site, with access control at the exit in one car park and at the entrance and exit in the other.

Benefits noted

For the company, the introduction of Sharvy has generated significant financial benefits : By sharing its parking spaces and opening up access to all its employees, CTG Luxembourg has seen a reduction in its parking expense reports.

For CTG employees, having a pre-booked parking space on request is, as in many urban centres where the Sharvy application is used, one less “mental burden” for them.

Sharvy allows the company to organise access to the car park in a fluid and fair way. Which is obviously a good thing when it comes to well-being in the workplace (QWL) and taking account of employees’ needs!
