The renewed ParkMyBike helpdesk

Managing bike parking is not just about access and hardware. It is also about what happens when something goes wrong.

A broken locker or an access issue needs to be solved quickly and clearly. That is exactly what the renewed ParkMyBike helpdesk is built for.

We’ve upgraded the system to make support faster, clearer, and easier to manage for both cyclists and operators.

Image sharing for faster understanding

In many cases, context is everything.

That is why image sharing has been added to the helpdesk. Cyclists can now attach one or multiple photos when reporting an issue. This helps operators immediately understand the situation and respond correctly.

If no images are added initially, they can still be shared later during the chat.

Live chat with cyclists

Chat is now fully integrated into the ParkMyBike helpdesk.

When a cyclist reports an issue, operators can respond directly through the dashboard. The conversation continues in real time, and cyclists receive replies instantly in the app.

This removes delays and avoids unnecessary back-and-forth through external channels.

Operators and cyclists are also notified immediately when a new message comes in, via push notification or email, so nothing gets missed.

From issue to maintenance in one flow

Support does not stop at communication. It continues into action.

With the renewed helpdesk, reported issues can be assigned directly to a maintenance partner from the dashboard. All relevant information is shared instantly, including details and images provided by the cyclist.

From there, the maintenance partner can schedule the task with a specific engineer. The assignment is then visible in the ParkMyBike app, so the engineer knows exactly what needs to be done and when.

This ensures everyone knows what needs to happen, and the status of each task stays clear from start to finish.

Why this matters

Bike parking systems are often used in high-traffic, public environments. Small issues can quickly turn into operational friction when communication is slow or unclear.

By combining chat, maintenance workflows, and image sharing in one system, the ParkMyBike helpdesk creates a single connected flow from issue to resolution.

Cyclists get help when they need it. Operators stay in control. Maintenance partners know exactly what to do.
