HUB: Transforming Parking at Amoreiras Shopping Center

In the bustling heart of Lisbon, the Amoreiras Shopping Center stands as a beacon of retail excellence, drawing in locals and tourists alike. However, with popularity comes the challenge of managing a high volume of visitors, particularly when it comes to parking. Enter BIGSYSTEMS, longime partner of HUB Parking Technology, whose innovative solutions have revolutionized the parking experience at this iconic shopping destination.

Amoreiras Shopping Center faced a common yet critical issue: ensuring a seamless parking experience for its various user groups: users, residents, staff, and non-shopping visitors. The management sought a solution that would not only enhance customer satisfaction but also streamline operations and increase efficiency. BIGSYSTEMS stepped in with a comprehensive approach that addressed these needs head-on.

The transformation began with the installation of state-of-the-art parking systems designed to provide a frictionless experience from entry to exit. One of the standout features is the implementation of touchless and ticketless solutions, through camera-based License Plate recognition (LPR). This technology allows visitors to enter and exit the parking facility without the need for physical tickets, significantly reducing wait times and minimizing contact—a crucial advantage in today’s health-conscious environment.

Moreover, the integration of advanced parking guidance systems has made finding a parking spot a breeze. Digital displays and real-time data guide drivers to available spaces, eliminating the frustration of circling the lot in search of a spot. This not only improves the customer experience but also optimizes the use of parking space, ensuring maximum capacity utilization.

BIGSYSTEMS didn’t stop there. They introduced a robust analytics platform that provides the shopping center’s management with valuable insights into parking patterns and usage. This data-driven approach enables more informed decision-making, allowing for continuous improvement of the parking experience. For instance, peak times can be better managed, and promotional strategies can be tailored to drive traffic during off-peak hours.

The benefits of these innovations are manifold. Visitors to Amoreiras now enjoy a smoother, more efficient parking process, which enhances their overall shopping experience. For the management, the system has brought about operational efficiencies and cost savings, proving that investing in advanced parking solutions is a win-win for both customers and businesses.

In conclusion, the case of Amoreiras Shopping Center exemplifies how modern technology can transform traditional challenges into opportunities for improvement. HUB Parking Technology’s solutions have not only met but exceeded expectations, setting a new standard for parking management in shopping centers and mixed-use complexes. As retail environments continue to evolve, such forward-thinking approaches will undoubtedly play a pivotal role in shaping the future of customer experience.
