We are happy to announce our new custom development at Hybo! One of our daily goals is to adapt to the needs and concerns of our customers and to improve our software, making it easier for employees and companies.<\/p>\n

The new functionality developed in our software is the penalty algorithm. This new function is designed for companies with little parking space and high demand for them by employees, allowing pre-bookings and informing workers who have made it whether or not they have reserved a parking space<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Its operation is very simple: let’s imagine that a company has only seven parking spaces and seven people make a pre-reservation, the company determines a time each day at which parking spaces are assigned to the employees who have pre-reserved them according to conditions that we will explain later; in the event that only seven people have pre-reserved those seven spaces that day, at that time determined by the company, the employees are assigned their requested spaces.<\/p>\n

However, in the event that thirteen people have requested a parking space and the company only has seven, the penalty algorithm jumps and those employees who make good use of Hybo will have priority booking. What does good use of Hybo mean?, you may ask.<\/p>\n

The company has the ability to set a period of time, such as a month or two, to evaluate employees’ use of the software. During that period, the penalty algorithm will be based on the employees’ behaviour in making parking reservations.<\/p>\n

If an employee has made a parking reservation for a certain day and then realises that he\/she does not need it, if he\/she cancels that reservation, it will be considered a good use of Hybo. This shows responsibility and helps to free up the parking space for another employee who needs it.<\/p>\n

On the other hand, if an employee makes a parking reservation that he\/she does not use and also does not cancel it within the period set by the company (e.g. one month), it will be considered a misuse of the software. As a result, that employee will be penalised by losing priority in accepting future parking pre-bookings.<\/p>\n

What does this new functionality offer?<\/h2>\n
