Urban mobility is evolving at an unprecedented pace. Drivers today expect parking to be seamless, predictable, and fully integrated into their digital environment. Apps such as EasyPark, PayByPhone and My Way already set the standard: drivers locate, access, and pay for parking via smartphone — across cities and countries, all within one consistent interface. However, while mobility becomes increasingly digital, the parking infrastructure behind it is often not.
Parking Access and Revenue Control Systems (PARCS) are known for their reliability, robustness, and long service life. But historically, they were not designed for direct cloud connectivity or third-party app integration.
Parking operators therefore face a strategic dilemma:
How to connect existing PARCS to digital mobility services — without costly replacement?
How to offer customers the apps they already prefer — without vendor lock-in?
How to expand digital sales channels — while maintaining full operational control?
Designa PARKETPLACE® is the digital marketplace for parking.
It connects operators, PARCS, and mobility app providers on a single middleware platform — the neutral layer between infrastructure and digital services.
For customers, nothing changes.
For operators, everything changes.
PARKETPLACE® provides:
✔ A complete overview of all digital sales channels
✔ Cross-platform usage and revenue insights
✔ The foundation for measurable revenue growth
Operators stay in control of how channels are prioritized, how access is configured, and how performance is evaluated — all without reliance on a single vendor ecosystem.
Drivers continue using the apps they already know.
PARKETPLACE® works silently in the background: Entry and exit, payment and receipts, parking session management are all handled exclusively within the user’s existing app experience.
No additional accounts, no new portals, no onboarding effort.
PARKETPLACE® supports multiple operational flows to ensure compatibility with different site conditions:
Automatic flow
The vehicle is recognized automatically at entry. The parking session starts in the user's app and ends automatically at exit with digital payment.
Manual flow
The parking session is started and ended manually in the app. Payment is processed digitally through the user's preferred method.
Ticket takeover
Short-term parkers can switch their active parking session into the app. The digital transaction continues seamlessly in real time.
Reservation
Users can book their parking spot in advance directly through their mobility app. Upon arrival, the spot is guaranteed and entry is automated. Payment is processed digitally without tickets or on-site machines.
PARKETPLACE® offers reporting and configuration tools to support both operational efficiency and strategic planning:
Standardized usage and sales dashboards
Cross-vendor comparisons
API-based data access
Insights for both operators and mobility providers
This enables operators to expand into digital sales channels with full oversight and optimized revenue potential.
PARKETPLACE® provides the missing link between physical parking infrastructure and the digital mobility ecosystem — without compromising the reliability of traditional PARCS.
