A parking management that allows the owner of the solution to provide permanent entry for employees, sell subscriptions, receive payment for a one-time parking or leave guest passes.
Overview
In these case we needed to do an application that will allow a person to manage parking passes – control payments for parking or subscriptions, guest passes, duration of parking sessions.

What did we need to do?
We must admit, initially the solution should have been quite simple: just entries and payments. After our research and analysis, the client realized that the first solution needed to be expanded. As a result, the requirements changed and it turned out, that a solution could do everything.

How much time did it take to do?
We tried different hardware and software vendors, configured integration with them, changed to others, because there were failures in operations. As a result, most of the logic was implemented on our side, as we wanted to be completely confident in the quality.

Features
Control logic
We had integration with a ready-made partner solution. At the same time, we did not just take recognized numbers, but built a complex access control logic taking into account the logic of the object (closed/public), business model (for example, hourly payment/subscription only/both options). Additionally, cases of failure of system elements were processed.
Parking sessions and payments
Now the system can understand peak load hours, the duration of being in the parking lot. This information is useful for pricing and marketing purposes. For example, to understand who a typical shopping center customer is.
Emergency situations
The application itself is quite complex from the point of view of the Backend. Cases have been worked out here when something went wrong (the Internet fell off, the number was recognized incorrectly). Special attention was paid to testing of operability and fault tolerance, monitoring of exchange queues.
