Ronspot provides an all-in-one workplace booking platform — covering parking, desks, and meeting rooms. This creates a single source of truth for space management, reporting, and just one app that employees need to use to book what they need – making roll out and adoption of the platform fast and easy
WiFi Integration for Reduced Admin
Ronspot integrates with company WiFi as well as barrier control systems to automate check-ins and free up unused spaces. This ensures accurate occupancy data without manual input, making sure you can easily keep track of how busy the carpark is. Parkalot does not offer this feature; admins must rely on manual monitoring.
Microsoft Teams Integration
Ronspot has a dedicated Microsoft Teams app, so employees can book desks, rooms, and parking without leaving their workflow. This reduces friction and boosts adoption for organizations already running on Microsoft 365. Parkalot does not have a Teams integration, requiring users to switch between tools.
Fair Parking Space Allocation
Parking Credits is a special feature of Ronspot that ensures parking space is allocated fairly among your employees. Employees get access to a parking space based on the number of credits allocated each week by the admin. Instantly defuse tension, reduce parking issues, and improve company culture.
