Parking Spot-Booking Platforms

'Parken' Locates the Best Parking Spots Before You Arrive

— July 7, 2018 — Autos
Parking in the vast majority of urban locations can be a very difficult process, so 'Parken' has been developed as a platform to help drivers work to find the best spot possible before they even arrive.

The app works by offering drivers access to parking spots that they can reserve prior to arriving and pay for through the platform to seamlessly remove all of the potential hurdles that prevent a smooth process. The platform also allows property owners who have an unused parking spot to rent it out to drivers to make extra money and make use of space that might otherwise be left vacant.

The 'Parken' app could help to completely revolutionize the parking experience in urban locations and eliminate the headache of not being able to find the right spot for their needs.
Trend Themes
1. Smart Parking - The integration of smart technology and data analytics into parking solutions can optimize parking space and revolutionize the parking experience in urban locations.
2. Shared Parking Economy - Online platforms that connect parking spot owners with drivers in need of a spot can disrupt and transform the traditional parking industry by making better use of underutilized parking spaces.
3. Contactless Parking Solutions - As the world moves towards a more touch-free experience, parking spot-booking platforms that offer touchless payment methods and access control can offer a safer and more convenient option for drivers.
Industry Implications
1. Transportation - Transportation and mobility companies can explore opportunities to offer fully-integrated parking solutions as part of their services, utilizing the latest smart parking technology.
2. Real Estate - Real estate companies can leverage the shared parking economy trend and turn underutilized parking spaces into an additional revenue stream for property owners.
3. Technology - Technology companies can focus on developing innovative contactless parking solutions that prioritize safety and convenience for drivers.
