parking lots at around 105 airports in North America.

who value time more than money

17. COLLABORATORS
The following institutions or organizations are our targeted collaborators:
• Parking lots
• Business Offices
• Shopping Malls
• Recreation Areas
• Schools
• Hospitals
• Free Lands
Few parking spaces would be reserved for SmartPark depending upon the congestion and
requirement of that area. Information about only those parking spaces would be
available in the app. A small percentage of predefined cut will be charged out of the
ticket cost ie. about 25%
(A)
18. VALUE PROPOSITION
It has three elements:
• COLLABORATORS VALUE: There are many instances that the parking remain
empty and remain unused as people don’t know about them. There are many free
lands which remain useless. On entering into partnership with them, our
collaborators can also earn from then onwards.
• COMPANY AND CONSUMER VALUE: It can be understood from the following case
study.

19. To explain its benefit here is a simple example. To consider if Mr. X is
plans a family outing with his family. He decides to watch a movie for
which he has to park his car in the mall. But the mall parking is full
and the show is about to start. Should he park his car on road? Or get
late while searching for a suitable parking. Little did he know that the
whole school parking in front of the mall is free because school is closed
at night. Here is when SmartPark comes to rescue.
CASE STUDY
23. COLLABORTORS
• Their parking occupancy would increase by 60% than the current
occupancy.
• Would provide them free publicity via the app
• The roads in front of mall and other recreational areas won’t be as
crowded as before due to illegal parking.
COMPANY
• The company will get about 25% of the ticket cost.
24. SERVICE & IMPLEMENTATION
There would be a barcode scanner at the entry point where you can scan the
barcode generated on booking the parking.
There would also be a scout to guide the vehicles to their assigned parking
spaces present just at entry.
On booking the space, that area turns red on app from green.
When you leave you just have to click “check out” in the app and the calculated
amount will be deducted from your SmartMoney account.
The booked area turns back to Green.
In case of any problem, you can just use the in app feature of “Contact Me” and
you will receive a call back within seconds to resolve your problem.
