Is Awaio an alternative to Wayleadr?

Yes, if you want parking as part of the whole workplace. Awaio books car bays, EV bays and bikes, and covers desks, rooms, lockers and door access in the same system. If you need licence plate recognition, carpool matching or shuttle management, Wayleadr goes deeper on parking and commuting.

Can we start with parking only?

Yes. Many teams start with one module, such as parking, and add desks, rooms, lockers or mobile access later. Each module works on its own, and people use the same app for all of them.

How is Wayleadr priced compared to Awaio?

Wayleadr quotes per space through sales. The cost grows with add-ons such as EV charging, carpooling and desk booking, and with hardware integrations. Awaio is priced per resource, such as desks, rooms, lockers and parking, with unlimited users.

Does Awaio work with our parking gates and barriers?

Yes. Awaio links parking bookings to gate access, so a booked space opens the garage gate from the phone. The Smart Access Box connects existing barriers and gates, and Inlet connects Awaio to supported access control systems.

Does Awaio work with Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace?

Yes. Awaio syncs room calendars both ways with both, supports sign-in with Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace, and has an Outlook add-in for booking desks, rooms, parking and lockers.

Awaio vs Wayleadr: which parking platform fits your workplace?

Wayleadr specialises in workplace parking, with AI allocation, gate and camera integrations, EV charger rotation, carpooling and shuttles. Awaio books parking too, in the same system as desks, rooms, lockers and doors that open with the phone.
