Case study: Digital parking solution reduces fleet fines by 30% in Germany
For medium and large companies, the benefits of using EasyPark Business as part of an efficient fleet management strategy are immense. Managing parking expenses and reimbursements with traditional methods, such as paper receipts and expense reports, involves numerous challenges and consumes significant valuable resources. The EasyPark Business solution transforms this process by providing a streamlined, digitalized parking solution that enhances both the driving and parking experience for employees.
The challenge
Together with one of our clients —the German branch of a leading global pharmaceutical company, with almost 600 field staff on the road, each completing one or two parking transactions per day— we worked to streamline parking expense management, reducing the manual processes for handling parking expenses from both drivers and administrative staff.
On average, each employee submits 40 parking receipts per month, which must be manually collected and processed by the accounting and HR team. Without a centralized system for managing parking expenses and fines, tracking, analyzing, and controlling parking-related costs effectively has become a major challenge.

The solution
As a global company with a large fleet, the company is constantly seeking solutions that can help to enhance fleet management efficiency. Both on the drivers’ side as well as on the administrative side manual handling presented high cost and time inefficiencies.
Additionally, drivers expressed the need for a solution that would eliminate the need to carry small cash and reduce the risk of parking fines for overstaying parking limits when meetings ran longer than expected.
After careful comparison of digital parking solutions, the choice for EasyPark Business was made. The key deciding factors were the high degree of coverage of accessible parking areas throughout the country, the user-friendly parking flow of the EasyPark app, as well as the existing high adoption rate amongst the drivers. Furthermore, for a global company, the potential to scale the solution globally added significant value to the decision.
Customer value
By integrating the digital parking solution of EasyPark Business, the company was able to significantly optimize its fleet management. The administrative process connected to parking costs has been dramatically simplified.
Additionally, parking costs and fines have been reduced by 30%. When drivers need to park for longer than originally planned, the EasyPark app sends reminders, allowing them to extend the parking time directly through the app—provided they haven’t reached the maximum parking duration.
In terms of numbers, the time and cost savings with EasyPark Business are remarkable. With currently 600 registered accounts, the company saves 365 working days across all users, which equals one full time position per year!
