Passage: Parking management and mobile access

Anonymized project The client is not named. Passage is the editorial case name. BYTE FORGE built the product.

We built web administration and mobile access interfaces for a parking product. Our scope included access flows and integrations, plus leadership of the frontend architecture.

The product challenge

Parking operators manage permissions and garage access for different users, while drivers need practical ways to enter and manage their access. The product spans business administration and consumer-facing parking applications.

How the product works

Operators manage every garage from one dashboard. Drivers get in with their phone, an NFC tag or their number plate, and empty spaces can be rented out by the hour.

  • Invite and manage parkers

    Operators invite long-term parkers by email or phone number and change permissions in real time, without keys or radio remotes.

  • Many ways in

    A reader at the existing gate accepts the app over Bluetooth and NFC tags, and an optional camera recognises number plates.

  • Remote opening

    Gates and doors open from the dashboard with one click, from anywhere.

  • Revenue from free spaces

    Free spaces are listed in the driver app, where short-term parkers find, book and pay, then open the gate.

  • Multi-site dashboard and reports

    Operators see every site, its readers and its usage, with monthly usage and revenue reports.

What we built

Passage runs smart parking for property operators and drivers. We worked on both sides of the platform: the B2B operator dashboards for access and parking revenue, and the B2C mobile apps drivers use to enter, book and pay.

Our work covered real-time permission management, invitations, remote gate control and the access flows behind BLE, NFC, mobile and licence-plate entry. We led the frontend architecture and contributed refactoring and performance work across React, React Native, TypeScript and Java services.

How access and booking work

  1. 01The operator invites a driver from the dashboard
  2. 02The phone or the number plate identifies the car
  3. 03The reader confirms access and the barrier lifts
  4. 04Short-term bookings are paid and reported as revenue

Anonymized project

This outcome summarizes the engineering work. No numerical improvement or independent performance measurement is claimed.

How it helped

  • For property operators

    No more key handovers or lost remotes, and empty spaces earn money.

  • For drivers

    Contactless entry, and booking and payment in one app.

  • For the client

    One platform that serves business customers and drivers alike.
