In the heart of California, Frogparking has forged a strong and valuable partnership with Edwards Lifesciences. This leading global medical technology company has trusted Frogparking to solve their corporate campus parking challenges for many years. With high parking demand during normal business hours, Edwards Lifesciences needed a smart parking system that offered real-time data, guidance. As a result, a seamless parking experience for their employees. Our team at Frogparking provided the advanced parking guidance solutions they needed, expanding our influence in corporate parking systems.
Building a Seamless Parking Experience
The partnership between Frogparking and Edwards Lifesciences began in November 2018, when we installed a comprehensive advanced parking guidance system that included FrogGuidance, FrogSensors, and FrogSigns. Edwards Lifesciences’ campus had several multi-level parking structures that were often unmonitored, leading to long parking times as employees searched for open spots. By installing these solutions, Frogparking revolutionized how parking operated on the Edwards campus.
As parking demand continued to grow, we expanded our services.
In October 2019, we integrated FrogMobile, a mobile parking application that allowed employees to check real-time parking availability from their smartphones. By March 2020, Edwards Lifesciences requested more FrogSigns, enhancing the overall user experience by placing critical information at key decision points. These dynamic signs provided parking availability information at both the entrances to parking structures and at individual levels, allowing employees to park efficiently.
Our partnership continued in August 2021, when we installed FrogSensors and FrogSigns in the Daimler and Eastman lots. Then, in August 2022, the Alton lot received its own installation of FrogGuidance and FrogSigns. Edwards’ parking system now spans 4,000 spaces across multiple structures and on-grade lots, offering seamless parking to all employees.
FrogSensors: Real-Time Parking Data
The foundation of the parking system at Edwards Lifesciences lies in our FrogSensors. These sensors monitor parking occupancy in real-time, feeding valuable parking data into our parking software, FrogHub. Employees can now avoid aimlessly circling parking structures in search of a spot. Instead, the sensors detect available spaces and feed that data to digital signs and mobile apps. This level of accuracy ensures employees spend less time parking and more time focused on their work.
For Edwards Lifesciences, the benefits of FrogSensors have been clear. The sensors have reduced congestion in parking structures and increased the efficiency of parking turnover. Moreover, the parking analytics generated by FrogSensors have allowed the Edwards team to understand their parking usage patterns and make informed decisions on capacity and future expansions.
FrogGuidance: Leading the Way
Our FrogGuidance system has transformed the way employees at Edwards Lifesciences navigate their parking facilities. With parking spread across several multi-level structures, advanced parking guidance was essential. FrogGuidance dynamically directs employees to available spaces, showing real-time availability on digital signs as they approach parking areas. Employees now know exactly where parking is available, reducing the time spent looking for a spot.
The guidance system aggregates total availability at the entrances to each structure and then splits it by level, giving employees clear options for where to park. Edwards Lifesciences has seen a major improvement in parking flow and efficiency since adopting FrogGuidance, making parking a seamless part of the employee experience.
FrogSigns: Clear, Effective Communication
Edwards Lifesciences has also benefited from our network of FrogSigns. These dynamic signs are placed at key points throughout the parking system, providing real-time information on parking availability. FrogSigns are located off main entrances, where they display the total availability for each structure. They also display the availability of spaces by level as employees approach parking structures. This critical information helps reduce confusion, minimizes delays, and ensures employees can park efficiently.
By using FrogSigns, Edwards Lifesciences has been able to provide clear, accurate parking information that reduces parking-related frustration and improves the overall experience for employees.
FrogMobile: Parking Convenience in Your Pocket
In October 2019, Frogparking took parking convenience to the next level by introducing FrogMobile, our mobile parking application. Edwards Lifesciences employees now have real-time parking information right on their smartphones. FrogMobile integrates seamlessly with FrogSensors, giving employees live updates on available parking spaces. This easy-to-use app allows employees to plan their parking ahead of time, further reducing stress and ensuring a more efficient use of parking facilities.
Driving Future Solutions with Data
Our partnership with Edwards Lifesciences continues to evolve. The data collected from our advanced parking guidance system drives a third-party parking availability app through one of our standard APIs. This integration further showcases Frogparking’s ability to provide parking solutions that meet the growing needs of corporate campuses. Edwards Lifesciences uses this parking technology to enhance the employee experience and ensure their campus operates smoothly.
A Long-Term Partnership Built on Trust
The ongoing collaboration between Frogparking and Edwards Lifesciences highlights the importance of advanced parking guidance for large corporate campuses. With each installation, we’ve delivered cutting-edge parking solutions that solve their specific parking challenges. Whether it’s through FrogSensors, FrogGuidance, FrogSigns, or FrogMobile, Edwards Lifesciences continues to rely on Frogparking for their parking management needs.
Our success at Edwards Lifesciences shows that Frogparking is the go-to provider for parking technology on corporate campuses. As businesses grow, so does the demand for smart parking systems that can handle high parking volumes efficiently. Frogparking is proud to meet that demand, and we look forward to continuing our partnership with Edwards Lifesciences as they expand their operations.
