A driver is stuck at the exit gate. The payment machine is not working.
Instead of searching for an intercom or a phone number, they scan a QR code and start chatting. A code on Payment Machine B14 tells the team where the driver is.
The intercom is the wrong tool when a chat would do
Exit gates and payment machines fail in a specific place. A driver who cannot find an intercom, or cannot hear one, still needs a way to say “this machine will not take my card.”
RoomLnk on that machine opens a private browser chat. The parking team knows the conversation started at Machine B14, Level 2, or the EV bays.
At the point of friction
The problems drivers actually hit
Put a separate, labelled code on the equipment that causes the question.
Payment machines
“Payment machine isn't accepting my card” arrives already tied to Machine B14.
Entry and exit gates
Help a driver who is stuck without relying on a noisy intercom.
Level and bay finding
Direct someone who cannot find a vehicle, a lift, or a visitor bay.
Tickets and receipts
Answer ticket questions from a code printed on the ticket itself.
A photo of the error
The driver can photograph the machine screen instead of describing it.
Help in the driver's language
Translate the message when the driver and the attendant do not share one.
Machine B14
Scan, and the team already knows the machine
Payment Machine B14 carries its own RoomLnk code. The driver scans, the room opens, and the first message can be “Payment machine isn't accepting my card.”
The parking team does not have to ask which machine. Photos, voice, and translation are available in that same private chat.
How it works
From the machine to a person who can help
01
Label the equipment
Put a code on the gate, machine, level, or ticket.
02
Driver scans
RoomLnk opens in the browser. No app and no phone-tree.
03
Describe the fault
The message is already linked to that machine or gate.
04
Add the error screen
A photo shows the card error or the closed barrier.
05
Route to the parking team
Attendants answer from the business workspace.
06
Leave payment in the payment system
The chat does not take the fee or open the gate by itself.

Operational boundary
Chat helps the driver. It does not take payment or open the gate.
Monitor gate and machine rooms during attended hours, and say what to do when the car park is unattended. A code with no response traps people.
Fees, refunds, and barrier control stay in the parking system. Do not ask drivers to send card numbers in the chat.
Questions and answers
Parking support with RoomLnk
Can each payment machine have its own code?
Yes. A code on Machine B14 tells the team which machine the driver is using before they reply.
Does the driver need an app?
No. The QR code opens a private chat in the phone browser.
Can RoomLnk open the exit gate?
No. Staff can coordinate help in the chat. The barrier and the payment system remain separate.
Can the driver photograph the error?
Yes. Photos and voice clips help when the machine message is hard to read aloud.
Is this a replacement for emergency help in the car park?
No. Safety incidents and medical emergencies should use the site's emergency process, not a support chat.
Can messages be translated?
Yes. The driver can write in their own language, and the attendant can translate that message.
