Still managing staff parking
in a spreadsheet?
Most workplaces start there. But once you've got more staff than spaces, a spreadsheet creates more problems than it solves.
Three ways the spreadsheet lets you down
None of these are your fault. A spreadsheet isn't built for this problem.
It doesn't know who's on leave
Someone's on annual leave but they're still in the roster. Their bay sits empty all week. You only find out when a colleague rings to complain on Tuesday afternoon.
The same people always get the good spots
Without anything tracking history, whoever emails first — or has the most seniority — wins every time. After a few months, people notice. It stops being a parking problem and starts being a morale problem.
Someone has to own it every single week
That someone is usually the office manager, the EA, or whoever gets voluntold. Every Monday: update the spreadsheet, handle swap requests, send the email, fix the mistake you made in column D. It's 90 minutes nobody budgeted for.
Spreadsheet vs parkshare.work
Not a close race.
What happens instead
Set up once. Run in seconds every week. Your team parks without the politics.
Add your spaces once
Enter your car park bays — type, location, accessible or EV. Takes about five minutes.
Staff set their own preferences
Team members log which days they need parking, any space preferences, and upcoming leave. No chasing people for information.
Run allocation in one click
Each week, hit run. The algorithm balances who's been parking and who hasn't, skips anyone on leave, and publishes the result. Done.
