What are facilities

Facilities in SISTEM are additional services offered within a parking location beyond vehicle parking.
They allow operators to monetize space, improve user convenience, and turn parking into a multi-service environment.

Facilities can include services such as:

  • EV charging
  • Locker or storage access
  • Washroom access
  • Valet service
  • Car wash
  • Equipment rental
  • Custom services specific to a location

Instead of treating parking as a single transaction, SISTEM enables operators to manage and charge for multiple services from the same platform.

Why facilities matter

Parking spaces often have unused potential. Facilities help unlock additional value by:

  • Creating new revenue streams
  • Improving customer experience
  • Supporting long-stay and premium users
  • Reducing manual fee collection
  • Enabling structured service tracking

Facilities transform parking from a static asset into a service ecosystem.

How facilities work in SISTEM

Facilities are configured at the parking level and operate alongside vehicle sessions.

Each facility can have:

  • A pricing model
  • Capacity limits (optional)
  • Tax configuration
  • Usage tracking
  • Activation status

When a facility is used, SISTEM automatically:

  • Records usage
  • Applies pricing rules
  • Adds charges to the session (if applicable)
  • Updates reports and revenue data

Facilities can be used with:

  • Manual operator actions
  • Pass-based access
  • Integrated hardware (e.g., EV chargers)

Types of facilities in SISTEM

SISTEM supports two types of facilities:

Predefined facilities

Predefined facilities are ready-to-use service templates built into SISTEM.

They are commonly used services such as:

  • EV charging
  • Locker access
  • Valet

These come with recommended configurations and standard usage logic.
A separate article explains how predefined facilities work and when to use them.

Custom facilities

Custom facilities allow operators to create services unique to their location.

Examples include:

  • Shower access in gyms
  • Equipment rental in resorts
  • Battery swapping stations
  • Premium parking zone access

Custom facilities give full control over naming, pricing, and usage rules.
A separate article explains how to create and manage custom facilities.

Where facilities are used in operations

Facilities can be used across multiple operational flows:

  • Added to live parking sessions
  • Included in parking passes
  • Charged as standalone services
  • Tracked in reports and analytics

This ensures all service usage is recorded and billed consistently.

Facilities and revenue tracking

Each facility contributes to separate revenue reporting.

Operators can track:

  • Total usage per facility
  • Revenue generated
  • Peak usage times
  • Operational demand trends

This data helps in deciding:

  • Pricing adjustments
  • Capacity planning
  • Service expansion

Permissions and control

Only admins and managers can:

  • Create facilities
  • Configure pricing
  • Activate or deactivate services
  • Edit facility settings

Operators can use facilities during live sessions but cannot modify configurations.

Best practices for using facilities

  • Start with essential services (e.g., EV charging, lockers)
  • Use clear naming for custom facilities
  • Review pricing before activating services
  • Monitor usage to optimize offerings
  • Keep inactive facilities instead of deleting them for audit history

Facilities allow parking operators to evolve beyond vehicle storage into full-service mobility hubs.
