NU12 by Melanie Silverio - Reserved Parking at Malls

Whenever I go to a mall, it's so hard to look for a vacant parking space most especially during weekends and holidays. Sometimes I wait for 20 minutes or so just to park my car. For sure a lot of people can relate to this. The first thought in my mind was, if people can reserve their tickets online to avoid waiting, why not do the same for parking? This is where E-Commerce would come in the picture. Malls can include online parking reservation to their website or create an online parking reservation website. It is basically similar to reserving a movie ticket online. The website must contain a list of shopping malls, no. of vacant parking and time indicator.

1.   

     1. Shoppers will have to sign up first before they could make a reservation.

2.    2.   After they sign up, they will have to choose from the list of shopping malls and check for available parking space.

3.    3. They will also have to indicate what time they will most likely be arriving at the mall. If they have not arrived after 20 minutes of the time that they have indicated, their reservation will be forfeited.

4.    4.  After making the reservation, they will receive a confirmation code that they will show upon entering the parking lot and from there they will receive the number of their parking space.

5.    5. Confirmation no. may be printed or sent to their mobile phone.

There will also be a parking area for those who did not make any reservation. 4
