"Parking the Digital Way: Easypark's European Takeover"
In an episode of "Die Stunde Null," Germany CEO of Easypark, Nico Schlegel, discusses the company's mission to digitize parking lots across Europe. With a focus on digital parking fees, finding free parking spots, and partnering with cities, Easypark is changing the way we pay for and park our cars.
So, how much does parking with Easypark cost? According to Schlegel, it's "15 percent of the parking fee" though some cities cover the cost themselves, allowing customers to pay nothing. Negotiations with cities and municipalities for Easypark's services can be time-consuming, but thanks to a dedicated sales team and collective talks with cities via an association, it's made smoother and more accessible.
Incorporating other mobile parking solutions like ParkNow, Easypark has expanded its reach even further. The company is currently focused on expanding its technology and software in central Europe and the United States.
Parking Made Simple
Easypark offers a streamlined, easy-to-use parking solution. By digitizing parking spaces and collecting data on free spaces using vehicles equipped with lasers, the app can help drivers find available spots in real-time. Easypark's algorithm predicts the likelihood of open parking spaces, so drivers can save time and reduce air pollution caused by parking-search traffic.
Fueling City Growth
Easypark's digital parking solutions contribute to smarter, more efficient cities. One-third of air pollution comes from parking search traffic, so by helping drivers find spots easier, Easypark is aiding cities to improve air quality. Additionally, the company provides cities with insights on areas that might need reduced or reallocated parking spaces. This helps cities in creating a more livable and welcoming environment for residents and visitors.
The Future of Mobile Parking
Despite the industry's consolidation trends, Easypark believes that competition will continue to flourish. New providers will emerge, and the company remains committed to expanding its services around the world.
