ParkYa

ParkYa is a mobile app platform which helps consumers find the best place to park based on location and price. ParkYa was designed with private operators, local authorities and payment providers in mind so that it can be adapted to their needs. This platform seeks to compliment your existing service. Think of us as an efficient front of house experience that will enhance your back of house structure. We work with local authorities and parking operators to get information about meter locations, tariffs and types of parking facilities. We also use available open data, this is information that has been made public by owner.
