The Yvelines Departmental Council is facilitating the mobility of its teams and optimising the management of its 370 places spread over 2 different sites thanks to Sharvy.

Context of the Yvelines Departmental Council

The Council’s head office, located in Versailles (France) city centre, has a car park with 100 spaces for 450 employees. The Departmental Council also has a second site in Guyancourt, with a 270-space car park for 660 employees.

Until now, these spaces were allocated by name. As these car parks were full, staff were put on a waiting list to obtain a designated space and finally have access to it. However, due to business travel, teleworking and holidays, it was not uncommon to see spaces remain unoccupied throughout the day.

Setting up of Sharvy

A call for tenders was launched in summer 2019 to identify the most appropriate solution for managing the car park on the Versailles site in a simple and rapid way. Sharvy responded and was selected. The project, steered by the Vehicle Fleet Department of the General Resources Division, was launched in September.

With the help of Sharvy customer support, the Yvelines Departmental Council teams configured their space according to their specific requirements : car park map, priority rules, choice of holders, user integration, etc. The Sharvy application was deployed at the Versailles site in just a few weeks. A few months later, following the success of the solution at this first car park, it was the turn of their second site in Guyancourt to adopt it.

Benefits noted

The application, which was quickly taken up by the 1,100 employees, has enabled an informal practice to become widespread: some had already got into the habit of lending a non-tenured colleague their parking space when they were absent. The sharing of spaces and the cooperation of all staff have enabled to estimate the potential of additional spaces available at at least 30%.

Today, the number of vehicles with access to the Yvelines Departmental Council car parks has doubled. This new management of spaces based on sharing has improved the well-being and QWL of staff who did not have access rights and who now enjoy a new benefit.

The application is also being used for two other purposes:

• Facilitating and modernising visitor access at these two main sites,
• Limiting inconvenience when construction work is being carried out on the car park by dynamically reassigning the spaces concerned.

Do you need to optimise your company car park? Do you want to modernise access and management?
