Awaio vs Sharvy: which parking and workplace tool fits you?

Sharvy is built for car parks with too few spaces. A fair algorithm allocates the spaces, EV chargers run in the same system, and barriers open by plate recognition or from the app. It also books desks and time slots. Awaio books parking, desks and rooms too, and adds lockers, digital locks and doors that open with the phone, in one system.

Key differences

  • Parking allocation: in Sharvy, employees request the days they need and a fair algorithm allocates spaces in advance, with priority rules such as reduced mobility. In Awaio, people book bays, EV bays, pool cars and bikes directly, with quotas and auto-release.
  • EV charging and plates: Sharvy controls and bills EV chargers and opens barriers with plate recognition cameras. Awaio opens gates, barriers and doors from the phone, only for the time of the booking.
  • Beyond parking: Sharvy books desks and time slots for things like rooms, lockers and showers. Awaio adds lockers and digital locks that open with the phone, an Outlook add-in and messages to everyone in the workplace.
  • Built for the Nordics: Awaio support answers in English, Swedish and Norwegian. Sharvy’s app lists five languages, without Swedish or Norwegian.
