Overview
Parkdepot digitizes parking lots to create smart mobility hubs using camera-based license plate recognition and AI to automate entry/exit tracking and billing, removing barriers, tickets, and on-site staff. It offers Supervision for unpaid parking and Carpay for paid parking to enable ticketless, seamless payments, plus analytics to optimize space utilization and monetize unused capacity. The company provides a full-service B2B platform, handling software, hardware installation, and ongoing operations for retailers, real estate firms, hotels, clinics, and restaurant chains, and has expanded from the DACH region to Poland, Denmark, and Italy with over a million transactions daily (as of 2022). Its goal is to help clients reduce operating costs, maximize asset value, and improve urban mobility by turning parking into efficient, data-driven infrastructure.
