About the company

Henkel Hungary has been present in the domestic market since 1987, operating three business areas (Adhesive Technologies, Beauty Care, Laundry & Home Care). The company's growing headcount and commitment to sustainability made it necessary to relocate their previous headquarters this year. They chose the Millennium Gardens office building, developed by TriGranit, which perfectly matched their requirements thanks to its prime location and modern design.

The problem

Alongside colleagues working from headquarters, Henkel Hungary's team includes many sales representatives who regularly visit external locations as part of their work. Providing dedicated parking spaces for everyone at HQ would have left many spots empty most of the time.

Dedicated spaces also made less sense after Henkel — like many Hungarian companies — moved to hybrid work after the covid period. The number of colleagues spending their entire workday in the office dropped, since which days they come in now varies.

On top of that, the company's commitment to environmental awareness created the need to enable EV charging for colleagues, encouraging the switch to electric vehicles.

The solution

The new office building's owner and developer, TriGranit, is a committed champion of innovative technologies for sustainability, and wanted to offer tenants the most modern access to EV charging and smart parking. That's when Parkl joined the project and presented the service to Henkel's team.

EV chargers at the Millennium Gardens office building

"We immediately liked Parkl's service — with a single app helping us in our daily mobility: we can manage our rented parking spaces in the office building through a modern system, and we could also install EV charging points exclusively for our colleagues. The cherry on top: thanks to Parkl's fleet service, colleagues working at external sites can easily park on the street or in car parks on the company account." – said Tamás Nagy, Fleet Manager at Henkel Hungary.

The outcome

For Henkel's colleagues, a single app now solves a range of parking situations:

When arriving at HQ they can reserve a parking space in advance and enter the car park automatically, without an access card.
If they arrive by electric car, they can charge it at the Parkl chargers in the car park.
If they need to park on-street at an external location, with Parkl they can start street parking on the company account in two taps — without registering a company card in their personal app.
If they're in a hurry and can't find a space, they can easily park with their phone in more than 75 Parkl partner car parks, also on the company account.

On top of that, they use Parkl Office features like guest parking and keyed-car access on a daily basis.

"The admin interface is completely transparent and easy to use. From overview to sending new invitations, everything runs smoothly. It's the same story with the app interface — we've had entirely positive feedback from colleagues during the rollout." – said Tamás.

Thank you to Henkel Hungary for their trust and cooperation!
