The Challenge: Manual Allocations, Unused Spaces, and a Growing Workforce

Before Ronspot, Metso Outotec had an employee car park where they allocated spaces to employees each day. A problem started to arise when employees were choosing not to drive to work/use their space without telling the company admins. Not to mention, having 300 employees and only 150 parking spaces.

Therefore, spaces were going unused in the car park. Around the same time, Metso Minerals and Outotec merged to become Metso Outotec, or the MO Group. This meant the office wanted to offer up as many spaces to employees as possible to maximise occupancy and increase efficiency.

“Credits have been a wonderful idea … 100% happy with the system and service.”

Tackling the Problems to Be Solved

Ronspot partnered with Metso Outotec to resolve growing pressures around parking allocation — ensuring fairness, efficiency, and transparency. By rolling out Ronspot’s parking management system, employees could easily book spaces in advance, while admins maximised occupancy across a limited supply of 150 spaces for 300 employees. Adoption was quick and the solution immediately reduced wasted spaces and daily frustration.

Here’s what Metso was facing — and how Ronspot solved it:

Problem 1

Manual Parking Allocations

Admins were assigning parking spaces daily, but employees often didn’t show up, leaving valuable spaces unused.

Ronspot’s Solution

Ronspot automated the process with a booking system, giving employees control and freeing admins from daily allocations.

Problem 2

Limited Parking Capacity

With 300 employees and only 150 parking spaces, demand far outweighed supply, leading to frustration and inefficiency.

Ronspot’s Solution

Ronspot introduced a fair allocation system with weekly booking credits, ensuring transparency and equal access for all staff.

Problem 3

Wasted Resources After the Merger

Following the merger into MO Group, maximising efficiency was critical — but unused spaces highlighted inefficiency at scale.

Ronspot’s Solution

Ronspot’s platform optimised occupancy, reduced wasted capacity, and helped achieve a 2:1 employee-to-space ratio.

The Results: Fairness, Transparency, and Smarter Parking

By implementing Ronspot’s parking management system, Metso Outotec transformed an inefficient manual process into a streamlined, fair solution that maximised use of limited spaces. Employees gained control, admins saved time, and the workplace became more efficient.
