FRANKFURT, Germany,
Sept. 14, 2017 /PRNewswire/ --
Parken, Inc., which offers Parken+, the new mobile app that allows
drivers to search, book and pay for parking in over 200 locations –
including 35 major cities across the U.S. – has entered into an
agreement with SAP. The announcement was made at the IAA New
Mobility World in Frankfurt,
Germany this past Sept. 14–17. Furthermore, during the
conference Parken+, SAP and Concur presented a demo of Tripit, a
travel management app with more than 14 million users that offers a
new scenario for booking and paying for parking with Apple Pay
using the Parken+ app.
"Currently the parking reservations industry is highly
balkanized. Parken+ offers consumers a way of harnessing the SAP
Vehicles Network by consolidating parking options from multiple
aggregators with the use of just one app in more than 200 supported
locations. By not having to open multiple apps when searching for
the best parking, consumers can enjoy a hassle-free and smooth
parking experience," said Damián Fernández, founder and CEO of
Parken, Inc.
Parken+ consumers have access to all parking options under SAP
Vehicles Network, including inventories of bookable parking spots
of the two leading off-street parking aggregators in the U.S. with
more than 9,500 garage facilities nationwide.
When using Parken+, drivers input their destination, and the
time they expect to begin and end their parking session, and
Parken+ serves up a map with a list of options in the immediate
vicinity, sorted by price or location. Drivers who book in advance
and pay within the app or via Apple Pay receive a confirmation code
that can be scanned at the entry and exit points of the garage, or
can be presented to the parking attendant for validation. Parken+
and SAP Vehicles Network are also currently working on adding
options for on-street parking and an in-vehicle payment platform
for fueling.
