Parking - SaaS

+142% hardware activation and redesign

Spotfinder is an effort to control the availability of parking spaces in shopping malls, stadiums and very large amusement parks. Booking FREE parking with an integration with google maps and augmented reality was a big part of what we managed to create for Spotfinder, going through a redesign of its hardware.

A product with its own hardware

In very large and crowded places it can take a person up to 1 hour to find a parking space. So why not reserve it for a limited time and guide you to the place?

Where do we stand?

Getting ready: Where are we? and What will we need?

We realized that Spotfinder had a great opportunity in the standalone parking availability indicator market but that they had a poor hardware design and their mobile application did not have a good user experience, which is vital in the product adoption process.

Considering that in Puerto Rico (country of implementation) approximately 76% of citizens own a vehicle,we knew we had to target hardware optimization and application value for these drivers.

Considering what to focus on

After hitting the neurons, we identified 3 opportunities that help us make a positive impact.

STEP 01: Start at the heart of it all

With permission to break whatever it took, we redesigned from scratch the hardware needed for Spotfinder App to work properly. The rules? It had to be small, with enough autonomy to avoid wires and very economical to reproduce on a large scale.

The first prototypes were with a 3D printer and a lot of AutoDesk Inventor while the Electronics Engineer on our team worked on a custom design of the new electronics.

STEP 02: An application with super powers

We have apps for everything and users didn't want to download just another app. We set out to create a product that offered much more than its promise of value. What is the real value? What is a nice-to-have?

Key points of spotfinder: Select parking, guide your way to the Mall or Stadium and locate where you parked in case you forget.

Understanding the users' routine was key to develop what was needed for this version. Our recurring question was: When you go to the mall or the Choliseo PR and you have a magic wand, what would you like to solve?

A result we are proud of

In 6 months, we redesigned the entire parking space booking experience into a low-cost experience.We invested 2 weeks in hardware iteration to optimize energy usage with the help of 3D printers that allowed us to have control of the whole process. And the app? a cool app with augmented reality.
