Problem
ParkingFinder.com is a type of e-business exchange that does business entirely on the Internet. The system connects parking space landlords and space tenants all over the world in an online market and manages the entire booking process and payments.
For a person to offer parking spaces (landlord), he/she must register with ParkingFinder.com. The person must provide a current physical address and telephone number as well as a current e-mail address. The system will then maintain an open account for this person. Access to the system as a landlord is through a secure, authenticated portal.
A landlord can list parking spaces on the system through a special Internet form. Information required includes all of the pertinent information about the parking space, the asking price, and documents showing that the landlord has the right to rent the space. A landlord may list as many spaces as desired. Parking spaces listed by a landlord need to be verified that the landlord owns them, before they can be visible to the public. The system maintains an index of all parking spaces in the system so that tenants can use the search engine to search for parking spaces. The search engine allows searches of parking spaces by location. At the end of each month, a check is mailed to each landlord for the spaces that have been rented.
People wanting to rent parking spaces (potential tenants) come to the site and search for the space they want. When they decide to book, they must open an account with a credit card to pay for the parking space. They need to select the space they want to book, the time slot for the renting period and the vehicle license plate number. The system maintains all of this information on secure servers. The tenants can, if they want, enter their review and ratings of the parking space. The same functionality can be accessed through mobile app, which can be downloaded and installed from Apple Store and Google Play Store.
