Solving Parking in Co-Working Spaces with Remote Control Parking Bollards
Co-working spaces have revolutionised the traditional office model, offering businesses and individuals flexibility, scalability, and a sense of community. This shift is driven by:
- Flexibility in Office Arrangements: Companies can scale their workspace up or down based on current needs without long-term commitments.
- Cost-Effective Solutions: Shared amenities and resources reduce overhead costs.
- Adaptation to Remote Work Trends: The rise of remote and hybrid work models has increased the demand for flexible office solutions.
However, this flexibility introduces complexities in managing shared resources, notably parking. Unlike traditional offices with fixed parking allocations, co-working spaces cater to a dynamic mix of tenants with varying schedules, leading to unpredictable parking demands.
Challenges in Allocating Parking in Shared Office Spaces
The transient nature of co-working tenants means:
- Inconsistent Parking Needs: Daily fluctuations in tenant presence make static parking allocations inefficient.
- Unauthorised Use: Without proper controls, parking spaces can be misused, leading to tenant dissatisfaction.
- Administrative Burden: Manually managing parking allocations and addressing disputes can strain resources for co-working office administrators and receptionists.
Parking Pain Points at WOTSO Botany Flexspace
WOTSO Botany Flexspace, located in a commercial estate in Botany adjacent to Sydney Airport and just 10 km from Sydney CBD, features over 600 sqm of shared office space and 100 desks—proving just how in-demand this location is. While the team kept operations running seamlessly inside, they saw an opportunity to enhance ease and accessibility for members when it came to parking outside. With 10 parking bays, all dedicated to members, and the busy location, parking was becoming more challenging by the day. Members needed a more reliable way to access their bays with confidence, and WOTSO wanted to ensure the parking experience matched the seamless service they’re known for. That’s why they decided to take a smart step forward.
Before switching to That’s My Spot parking solutions, WOTSO Botany relied on manual parking bollards. These were prone to getting stuck or damaged, and members often forgot to raise them, resulting in unauthorised vehicles occupying allocated bays.
This led to:
- Ongoing member concerns
- Increased complaints about unavailable parking
- Daily interruptions for WOTSO staff having to follow up
- Misalignment with the seamless co-working experience WOTSO aims to provide
Solving WOTSO’s parking pain with Remote Control Parking Bollards
Case Study: WOTSO Flexspace, Botany
To put an end to these issues, WOTSO Botany turned to That’s My Spot’s TMS-APL2 remote control parking bollards.
Currently, 3 remote control parking bollards have been installed, with 2 more already on order — part of a full transition across all 10 parking bays.
✅ Effortless Remote Control Parking Bollard Access
Tenants can lower their remote control parking bollard with a simple remote control, giving them 24/7 secure access without any manual effort. A bit step up and improvement from the manual parking bollards previously installed. As a result tenants are much more consistent about raising the remote control parking bollard when they leave so there’s no need for them to get out of the car to inconvenience them as they drive away.
✅ Unauthorised Parking Prevented
When the bay isn’t in use, the bollard stays upright — clearly signalling the space is reserved and preventing misuse.
✅ Less Admin, More Efficiency
WOTSO staff no longer need to manually monitor or chase up parking issues. Time previously spent managing car park conflicts is now redirected to tenant service.
✅ Ideal for Busy, Shared Workspaces
With limited space and growing demand, smart parking control protects tenant rights — making parking just as seamless as the workspace experience inside.
