Office parking

Parking management for offices and multi-tenant buildings

Office parking has to follow changing occupants and attendance patterns. A tenant’s allocation, an employee’s credential and a visitor’s arrival are separate records to coordinate. Lexoh connects the chosen access equipment and management workflows around the property’s rules.

Choose the right scope

Choose landlord controls and tenant parking permissions

Office parking management starts with the landlord’s allocation and the tenant’s approval process. Select access control for recurring users, visitor management for meetings and shared-use rules where occupants share capacity. A parking access right does not automatically reserve a desk or a stall.

Recurring employee access

Issue and revoke rights through the agreed employer and landlord process.

Plan employee parking

Meeting and contractor visits

Set an approver, entrance instructions and a valid arrival period.

Plan visitor access

Mixed tenant operation

Agree allocations and operating authority before adding a booking requirement.

Start with the operation

Keep landlord and tenant responsibilities distinct

Before choosing readers, decide who owns the parking allocation and who can issue or revoke a right. A tenant may administer its approved users while the property sets entrance rules and operating hours. Any division of software permissions must be confirmed in the project configuration.

Decisions to confirm in the project scope
Arrival or userPolicy to defineDesign consequence
Tenant allocation How many rights or spaces belong to each occupant? Keep the allocation policy separate from vehicle identification.
Hybrid attendance Are rights permanent, scheduled or approved per visit? Define updates and expiry without assuming a booking integration.
Guests Who hosts and approves the visit? Provide a valid arrival period and a reception contact.
Contractors Which work areas and hours are approved? Review the service entrance and a time-limited credential.
From policy to the lane

Connect the office visit to the parking right

01

Approve an accountable user list

Identify who submits and approves tenant user changes. Record the effective date and the affected parking zones. If a company leaves the building, its issued credentials should be reviewed as part of the handover.

02

Prepare reception for expected guests

Give visitors the correct entrance, credential instructions and expiry time. Decide who can correct a changed plate or late arrival. Parking permission should not silently grant unrelated building or office access.

03

Review the records with the right context

Use access events to investigate the defined parking journey, while keeping employee attendance and space utilization claims separate. An entry event is not a booking record or proof of how long someone worked in the building.

Lexoh software and physical equipment

Connect office parking rules to the garage equipment

01

Credentials and readers

Choose how employees and visitors identify themselves at the entrance: a presented card, vehicle tag, QR code or license plate. Lexoh supplies RFID readers and the UHF9DBI vehicle-tag reader. Existing building cards require a card-format, reader and controller check before they are included in the garage system.

02

Garage controls and vehicle detection

Connect the access decision to the garage-door operator or barrier through the selected controller. Review the opening interface, vehicle detection and status feedback with the installer. A valid credential identifies an authorized user; it does not establish that the vehicle path is clear.

03

Operator view and offline access

Lexoh Security Center brings device entry events, camera context and access controls into the operator view illustrated on this page. Lexoh combines cloud management with an offline mesh network that lets site devices communicate without internet. Equipment still needs power and locally available permissions; test delivery of tenant and employee access changes after reconnection.

Planning example

Two tenants share a garage and one reception desk

Imagine one tenant working a regular week and another hosting evening training. The garage needs clear permissions for both without giving every credential unrestricted access. Reception must recognize the host, approved period and assistance route for a guest. At tenant move-out, test withdrawal of that tenant’s rights while retaining the other occupants’ access. This scenario helps expose who owns each decision before equipment is ordered.

Prepare the scope

Prepare the landlord’s and tenants’ brief

01

Parking allocations, tenant approval roles, opening hours and the current credential register.

02

The garage entrance, pedestrian route, service access and interfaces with existing building equipment.

03

Visitor procedures, changes of tenancy and the reports required by property operations.

Office parking questions

Questions to settle before selecting the equipment and configuration.

They may, if credential technology, readers and interfaces support it. Specify separate permissions for each use and verify compatibility. Reusing a card does not mean the same authorization should apply everywhere.

Do not infer those functions from access control. If reservations or workplace tools are required, document the system of record, supported interfaces and correction process as a separate part of the scope.

The authorized tenant or property administrator should revoke the parking right at the approved time and account for issued credentials. Test how revocation reaches each relevant entrance in the selected architecture.

Separate common lane equipment, tenant administration, visitor workflows and any building-access integration. State who maintains credentials and pays recurring services. Several tenants may share an entrance without sharing administrative authority or billing responsibility.
