Case Study:
Google Zurich
Transforming Parking into a Smart, Revenue-Generating Asset
Overview
In 2022, Google Zurich faced rising inefficiencies in managing its 153 leased parking spaces, with only 30% utilization, rigid long-term contracts, and outdated manual processes. These issues resulted in lost revenue, wasted space, and user frustration.
To solve this, Google partnered with Share.P, implementing a smart parking system across its Zurich offices. The result: simplified operations, flexible access, and 4× revenue growth.
