Manage visitor car parking

Many locations have a car park available for visitors and contractors. Use MRI OnLocation to capture and manage who is occupying a space in your car park. 

How it works

Use sign in/out questions to ask visitors and contractors if they are using your car park. There are three questions pre-loaded. Once you activate the first question, you can choose to activate two other questions:

  • Are you parked in our car park?
  • Vehicle registration number or make/model of vehicle
  • Vehicle parking space number

Enable the questions for the Sign In/Out Manager and your kiosks. Each question can also be mandatory, and the answer included in the host notification.

You can use the People Presence report to see how your car parks are utilized. 

Set up a custom questionnaire if your location requires different car parking questions or if you'd like to include car parking questions in the pre-registered visitor profile. 

Set up car parking questions

You need the Administration user role to configure the sign in/out questions for a location.
