Our take
We are currently facing many challenges that derive from the scarcity of physical space in big cities, an issue that will become more prominent in the following years as cities grow both larger and more congested. One of the challenges is the scarcity of parking locations. ParkBee aims to address this problem by developing smart car parking technology that optimizes the use of current resources in order to provide travellers with access to the best place to park.
The startup leverages its network of locations, smart integrations and predictive systems in order to utilize existing underused parking locations and to direct traffic to the right place at the right time. ParkBee's software is used by the UK’s most well-known public car park operators, hotels, and private commercial office spaces. Moreover, the startup allows landlords and other private car park owners to monetize their underutilized spaces by making them available to the public. ParkBee's software is also integrated with consumer-facing car parking space booking apps like RingGo and Parkmobile.
ParkBee's business model involves splitting the revenue generated through renting each parking space with the owner and the fee it charges consumers with RingGo or Parkmobile. The Netherlands-founded startup has over 550 connected parking locations in six countries.
