In less than five months, KLESIA managed to solve the problem of insufficient parking space at its Paris headquarters thanks to Sharvy and the sharing of spaces.

Context of KLESIA

KLESIA is a non-profit joint social protection group founded in 2012. It specialises in:

• supplementary pensions (notably through the KLESIA Agirc-Arrco and CARCEPT funds),
• supplementary health insurance,
• contingency planning (disability, death, incapacity for work),
• and social action.

Since 2020, KLESIA has been a mission-driven company, with the purpose of “ensuring a secure future and contributing to quality of life for all”. This translates into strong commitments to disability, diversity, responsible purchasing, sustainable investment and reducing its environmental footprint.

Its head office is located in the Batignolles district of Paris and employs nearly 900 people. It has 71 parking spaces in its Strato building, around 40 of which are available to all employees.

In 2025, KLESIA consolidated some of its Paris teams into two buildings. This quickly raised the issue of parking. An internal survey revealed an imbalance between the number of spaces available at Strato and the number of people requesting them. As a result, KLESIA decided to retain some of the parking spaces at its second building, Rezo, located five minutes’ walk away. This gave the company around 100 spaces for its employees and visitors.

However, it still needed to organise their distribution fairly and facilitate access to the second car park in case the main one became full. It was in this context that the Sharvy parking management solution was identified and selected to optimise the two car parks.

Setting up of Sharvy

Led by the General Services Department, the project was launched in 2024 with the aim of rolling out the application as soon as teams moved into their new premises in early 2025. Within a few weeks, Sharvy was up and running.

To encourage adoption of the tool and overcome initial reluctance, a pilot phase and training webinars were offered to employees. These sessions allowed them to familiarise themselves with how the application works and ask questions directly to the Sharvy team. At the same time, a dedicated communication was posted on the KLESIA intranet, accompanied by an FAQ.

How does it work in practice? First, KLESIA employees create their accounts in a secure environment. Once registered, they can submit requests up to three weeks in advance to reserve a parking space on the days they need it. At the same time, space holders can release their spaces when they are absent so that they can be reallocated. The Sharvy algorithm then automatically allocates spaces, taking into account the type of vehicle (petrol, electric, two-wheeled, disabled access, etc.) and giving priority to those in the Strato building. If the car park is full, the application redirects users to the Rezo car park, the group’s second building.

To facilitate and secure access, an IoT module has been connected to the car park barrier to enable communication between the employee’s phone and the access gate. When a user has a reservation, an “Open” button appears in the application to allow them to enter. Without a reservation, access is denied. In the event of a technical problem or oversight, the Security PC remains available to open the barrier manually.

Benefits noted

The adoption of Sharvy has enabled KLESIA to open up access to the car park to nearly 250 employees, which would not have been possible without a dedicated solution. Without Sharvy, all spaces would have been allocated by name, meaning that only 100 people would have had access. With just a few clicks, every employee in the group can now reserve a space and access the car park.

For the General Services Department, Sharvy also represents a considerable time saving. The manual management of parking space allocation and access badges, which was previously time-consuming, has been automated. In addition, the Security Control Centre has also seen its workload reduced thanks to the integration of access control into the application.

Finally, thanks to the data recorded (relating to capacity on the one hand and reservations on the other), KLESIA can now analyse the occupancy of its car parks in detail. This visibility made it possible to identify underused spaces and consider terminating the lease agreement for 16 spaces on Rezo, thereby generating budget savings.

KLESIA is now planning to install new charging stations for electric vehicles and optimise their management. With the transition to a greener fleet and an increase in the number of electric vehicles among employees, demand for charging stations is growing. KLESIA is moving towards a charging station management solution that is adapted to these challenges and meets new regulatory requirements. Will Sharvy be able to rise to the challenge?
