About

PKE digital

Features
Read full description

PKE digital is a portal designed to simplify the integration and management of access, parking, and sharing solutions within your organization. Developed for businesses that want to manage existing resources in a structured way, PKE digital makes these resources shareable, reservable, bookable, accessible, and billable. An integrated points system incentivizes resource sharing and ensures fair, transparent distribution. The information portal also allows you to bring the latest news about offers or regulations directly to users, thereby increasing acceptance and usage of sharing services. App users book and reserve resources via their smartphones, while the web management interface and billing module enable centralized administration and billing in the background. Through the analytics module, administrators also receive reliable data that helps optimize resource utilization (parking spaces, cars, tools, rooms, etc.) and thereby reduce investment costs. Here's what users and administrators can do with PKE digital: - Reserve and book parking spaces, vehicles, rooms, and other company resources - Digitally manage and control access permissions - Fairly allocate resources via a points system - Analyze utilization and reduce investment costs - Communicate user information in a targeted manner - Transparently allocate and bill costs
