The pioneering collaboration of leading on and off street
parking technology providers will streamline driver experiences for
finding, reserving and paying for parking throughout North America
ATLANTA and AUSTIN,
Texas, Sept. 17, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Parking in
North America just got easier.
Today, ParkMobile, a leading smart parking provider and part of the
EasyPark Group, announced a partnership with Flash, a pioneer in
off-street parking and EV charging technology, that will
potentially process over a billion transactions in North America each year. This brings together
hundreds of engineers to modernize parking infrastructure across
millions of parking spaces in North
America to accelerate and simplify digital payment
experiences, benefiting parking operators, drivers, asset owners
and cities.
The strategic partnership is a significant step in transforming
the parking ecosystem, promoting open standards, industry
alliances, and open API architectures to improve marketplace
efficiency and deliver superior customer experiences. ParkMobile
and Flash are uniquely positioned to accelerate the digital
transformation of the parking industry because of their native
cloud-based platforms. In partnership, the companies will finance
the deployment of AI camera, access, and payment infrastructure for
parking operators and industry partners to provide frictionless
parking experiences. The partnership will facilitate price
transparency, driver privacy, and payment choice.
"Our ambition is to transform parking in America,
making it easier for 100 million drivers to park and pay, so no one
will ever have to park the same way again," said Cameron Clayton, CEO of EasyPark Group, the
parent company of ParkMobile. "We're leading the way in making
cities smarter and more livable, and our partnership with Flash is
a seismic shift in digitalizing urban mobility. This collaboration
enhances the driver experience and creates new revenue
opportunities for our partners. Together, we will bring the ease of
our platforms to millions of drivers across North America wherever their journey takes
them. Our industry partners will be able to build loyalty with
millions of new potential users and streamline inventory management
across parking facilities."
ParkMobile and Flash are developing a unified network that
simplifies the driver experience of finding, reserving, and paying
for parking. This will allow the companies' combined millions of
drivers the option to utilize the digital wallet of choice at any
parking facility type, including valet parking, parking garages,
off-street parking locations and on-street spaces. Drivers will
also benefit from enhanced privacy and robust data-protection
measures.
"This is a major milestone in establishing a parking and EV
charging ecosystem that connects every driver to every parking
asset through the apps and platforms they use every day," said
Dan Sharplin, CEO of Flash. "We
believe it will accelerate collaboration with automakers, mapping
providers, hospitality partners, and, of course, parking operators
and asset owners — including municipalities — who share our view
that revenue growth is derived from exceptional customer
experiences."
This year, ParkMobile and Flash will share parking reservation
inventory and infrastructure, and collaborate on expanding digital
payment choice at thousands of parking locations across
North America. In 2025, the
companies will work together to help drivers by making pricing
information transparent, and making it easier to pay using the
wallet of their choice through seamless experiences aided by camera
vision, smart AI-driven recommendations and other pioneering
technologies.
