QR code stickers for housing society and office parking

In most societies, finding the owner of a badly parked car means a guard with a register or a flood of "whose car is this?" messages in the group. A QR code on every car replaces both.

The problem with parking registers and WhatsApp groups

Societies and offices usually rely on one of two things: a guard who keeps a book of vehicle numbers and phone numbers, or a group chat where someone posts a photo of a car and asks who owns it. Both are slow, both interrupt everyone, and both spread residents' phone numbers around more than most people would like.

How a QR tag on each car fixes it

• The guard or neighbour scans the QR. They share their location and pick a message such as "Your vehicle is blocking my way".
• Only that owner is alerted, on WhatsApp, with the location. Nobody else in the society is disturbed.
• No phone numbers change hands. The person scanning never sees the owner's number.
• No app for anyone. Any phone camera works, including a guard's basic smartphone.

How to roll it out

1. Each resident gets their own tag. On this site it takes a minute and is ready to print straight away. It is ₹449 per vehicle, paid once.
2. Agree where it goes. A door pillar or rear panel is simplest. If it goes on glass, keep it small and in a lower corner. See what the rules say.
3. Brief the guards. "See a wrong-parked car, scan the sticker." That is the whole instruction.

Societies or offices that want a large number of pre-printed tags at once can ask about bulk tags on the contact page.

Cars and two-wheelers

Tags work on cars, scooters and motorcycles alike, so the same system covers the whole parking area. Read the two-wheeler guide for where to place one on a bike.
