About our client
Established in 2012, our client has over 11 years of experience in web systems, content creation, and mobile app development.
As a respected provider in the Japanese technology sector, they have consistently delivered innovative digital solutions focused on enhancing user engagement and daily convenience through technological advancement.
Their Challenges
The client recognized the need to develop a parking solution that accurately addressed the specific pain points experienced by drivers in Japanese urban centers.
Through comprehensive research into driver behaviors and local parking habits, they identified opportunities to revolutionize how parking spaces are registered and discovered. Their primary objective was to partner with our team to create an intelligent system that would significantly improve urban parking efficiency and user experience.
Technologies We Used
The application was developed using Flutter as the primary framework for cross-platform mobile development, ensuring consistent performance and native user experience across both iOS and Android devices. We integrated Google Maps services for precise location tracking, real-time navigation, and geographical data visualization. The payment processing system was implemented using Stripe for secure transaction handling, while Firebase Cloud Messaging enabled reliable push notifications for booking updates and availability alerts. The entire development process was managed using Jira with Agile methodology to ensure efficient project tracking and iterative delivery.
Users can efficiently locate available parking spaces based on multiple criteria including current location, duration requirements, and real-time availability status. The system incorporates intuitive filtering options and live data updates to facilitate quick decision-making and significantly reduce the time and stress associated with finding parking in congested urban areas.
The platform enables users to compare pricing, amenities, and terms across multiple parking facilities before making reservations. Transparent cost display and detailed facility information help users make informed, cost-effective decisions without encountering unexpected charges or conditions.
Through seamless Stripe integration, users can complete parking space payments securely within the application. The system processes transactions instantly, confirming reservations within seconds and eliminating the need for physical payment interactions or cash transactions.
Integrated Google Maps navigation provides real-time, step-by-step directions from the user's current location directly to their reserved parking space. This feature minimizes navigation time and enhances overall user satisfaction by ensuring efficient route guidance.
