About the company
Parkdepot provides business-to-business parking management by digitizing lots into smart mobility hubs. Its platform uses camera-based license-plate recognition and AI to automate entry/exit tracking and billing, removing barriers, tickets, and on-site staff. For unpaid lots, the Supervision feature monitors duration to prevent unauthorized use, while for paid parking, Carpay offers a ticketless, modern-payment experience and the system provides analytics on space utilization. Parkdepot differentiates itself by acting as a full-service provider that handles software, hardware installation, and ongoing operations for a range of clients, with a goal to help owners monetize underutilized parking capacity and reduce operating costs.
