Also, the distinction between the two types of customers (ordinary and fixed) who use the car park services makes it possible to achieve the effectiveness as well as create value for the customers. Manual processing of these services will fail in time and distinction which erodes efficiency. This is why there is the need for business information systems which accord the appropriate services to the customers as well as coordinate the internal corporate processes which administer the processes. Collins car park identifies the following stakeholders who are needed to be catered for in the systems development. There are the parking customers, the security agencies, and the accountants who monitor the issuance of tickets.

This ensures that department is working towards the goals established by the management. Therefore, if the marketing department advertises secure parking, numerous available space and others, the operations department should be able to guarantees that they are security indeed and the space advertised is available. When the beacon shines that the parking is full, the customer care department should be able to communicate the unavailability of parking to prospective customers whom it had contacted earlier.

To look at planning, the systems should be developed around the problem is identified. This includes having the desired hardware in terms of computers, scanners, smart automatic car barriers as well as smart cards and tickets.
