Is Awaio an alternative to Parkable?

It depends on what you need. If parking is the main job, with permits, paid public parking and number plate cameras across many car parks, Parkable goes deeper. If you want parking in the same system as desks, rooms, lockers and doors, Awaio covers all of it, and you can start with parking alone.

Can Awaio open our car park gate?

Yes. The Smart Access Box connects existing gates and parking barriers to the Awaio app. Access follows the booking and is granted for the booking window only.

How is Parkable priced compared to Awaio?

Parkable gives a quote per site, with unlimited users and administrators. Maps, cameras and gate controllers cost extra. Awaio is priced per resource, such as parking bays, desks, rooms and lockers, also with unlimited users.

Does Awaio handle EV and paid parking?

Yes. Awaio has EV bays for registered electric vehicles, and people can pay for parking in the app. Parkable goes further on EV charging: it connects to the chargers and charges drivers per kWh.

Can Awaio run parking in a building with several companies?

Yes. Each tenant gets its own community with its own admins, members and booking rules. The property owner runs shared parking, rooms and entrance doors.

Awaio vs Parkable: dedicated parking or one workplace system?

Parkable is a parking specialist for workplaces and property owners, with permits, space sharing, ANPR gates, EV charging and paid public parking. Awaio books parking too, and runs desks, rooms, lockers and door access in the same system and app.
