URBO Parking – EDIT Creation

PARKING APP

URBO Parking is an innovative platform for the use of smart parking systems in an urban environment. The system is integrated with multiple municipal and private parking sysem, unifying the interface and facilitating the use of multiple parking services by end users. The users also have the ability to use bank cards, prepaid vouchers and e-tickets.

Case

Paid parking in an urban environment is in terrible need of digitization. City planners are turning to smart digital technology to help ease congestion, manage parking more effectively and adapt to changing consumer expectations. In many places current payment methods are paper coupons and sms payments. Urban areas are divided into several paid zones in different colors, which designate and carry different rules for the adjacent area. All this leads to end-user confusion over which area they are in and what are the exact parking rules like maximum duration, price or opening hours. Our client wanted to improve the end user experience.

Solution

Our approach was to choose modern and secure technologies to serve consumers. Initially we started to use the phone's location to accurately show the user in which area he is and how much would be the parking cost. We started showing the opening hours, the cost of stay and what would be the maximum stay that can be used. Another feature that we introduced to the customer was sending push notifications on expired paid time, repatriation of a car or a mounting bracket. Our goal was to integrate multiple municipal and private parking systems in one unified interface, accessible from a single user profile and banking environment.
