European Parking Management Software

#1 Designa

Kiel, Germany On request, no prices published Demo on request

Best for: Airports, hospitals and malls that buy gates, pay stations and software from a single German maker

• Operating company. DESIGNA Verkehrsleittechnik GmbH
• Jurisdiction. EU (Germany)
• Where the data sits. Not stated on the pages checked
• Source code. Closed source
• Replaces. T2 Systems

Designa builds the lanes, gates and pay stations of a car park and the software that runs them, sold from Kiel. On its own site the hardware is the CONNECT series and the software is ELEMENTS, which starts with a START package for short-stay tickets, rates, cash and card payment, lost tickets and overbooking quotas, then grows through seven add-on steps in an online configurator.

The imprint names DESIGNA Verkehrsleittechnik GmbH, registered at the Kiel court under HRB 2234. The vendor says its software runs locally, virtualised or as a cloud service, announced ISO/IEC 27001 certification in March 2026, and cites Frankfurt Airport Terminal 3 and 12 million parking events a year at Fraport as references. Its PARKETPLACE layer connects 13 mobility apps, which are the vendor's own figures.

Standout feature. Designa offers PARKETPLACE, a neutral layer that lets an existing car park accept payment from 13 mobility apps without new hardware.

#2 Cleverciti

Munich, Germany Founded 2012 On request, no prices published Demo on request

Best for: Cities and operators that need live per-bay occupancy and payment compliance on open lots and streets

• Operating company. Cleverciti Systems GmbH
• Jurisdiction. EU (Germany)
• Where the data sits. Not stated on the pages checked
• Source code. Closed source
• Replaces. T2 Systems

Cleverciti of Munich detects parking rather than controlling it. Overhead sensors count cars in each bay, and the CleverPortal dashboard aggregates occupancy, draws utilisation heatmaps and shows payment compliance by zone, which suits sites that have no barrier at which to count entries.

The company says on its about page that it was founded in 2012 by Thomas Hohenacker and Konrad Prinz-Dreher and reports more than 200 locations in over 20 countries. The imprint names Cleverciti Systems GmbH, HRB 197925 in Munich, with a production site in Neukirch and an office in Atlanta. Reports can be exported or pulled over a REST API, and the portal states support for the Curb Data Specification.

Standout feature. Cleverciti is the only tool in the list that detects whether each individual bay is occupied, using sensors mounted above the lot.

#3 Yespark

Paris, France Revenue-based, no fixed fees according to its operator page; no price list Demo on request

Best for: French car park owners who would rather hand day-to-day operation to a service company

• Operating company. Yespark SAS
• Jurisdiction. EU (France)
• Where the data sits. Not stated on the pages checked
• Source code. Closed source
• Replaces. T2 Systems

Yespark approaches parking from the owner's side, as an operator more than a software vendor. Its group site says it markets vacant bays to individuals and businesses, can take over the whole management of a car park, and provides white-label tools for owners who sell spaces themselves.

The legal notice names Yespark SAS, registered in Paris under 801 558 495, and the Zenpark booking site is listed as a sister brand within the same group. The operator page says Yespark earns from the revenue a car park generates, with no fixed fees, and shows owners flows and profitability in real time. The percentage is not published, and the pages checked are in French.

Standout feature. Yespark is the only tool in the list that is paid from a share of the car park's own revenue instead of a licence.

#4 Parkl

Hungary, Hungary On request, no prices published Demo on request

Best for: Hungarian office buildings, hotels and malls that want digital access while keeping their existing barriers

• Operating company. Parkl Digital Technologies Kft.
• Jurisdiction. EU (Hungary)
• Where the data sits. Microsoft Azure cloud (region not stated)
• Source code. Closed source
• Replaces. T2 Systems

Parkl, from Hungary, sells a retrofit stack: a proprietary IoT gateway that drives barriers, a Tattile Vega plate camera, display screens, a browser-based company admin and a mobile app for reservations, parking and charging. The older access system can keep running in parallel, so a site can try digital access before removing anything.

The footer names Parkl Digital Technologies Kft., and the company says its solution is integrated with SKIDATA and Swarco systems. Its cloud runs on Microsoft Azure, region not given, and its own page lists the consequence: on-site operation is impossible when the cloud connection is down. The camera accuracy of more than 95% is a company claim, and prices and reference customers are not published.

Standout feature. Parkl is the only tool in the list built to run alongside the barriers and access system a site already owns.

#5 HUB Parking Technology

Zola Predosa, Italy Founded 1965 JMS cloud is a monthly fee service per its page; no amounts published Demo on request

Best for: Operators in several countries, and remote sites, that want local service and gates that survive an outage

• Operating company. FAAC SpA (HUB Parking Technology brand)
• Jurisdiction. EU (Italy)
• Where the data sits. Not stated on the pages checked
• Source code. Closed source
• Replaces. T2 Systems

HUB Parking Technology is the parking and mobility brand of FAAC Technologies, and the website footer names FAAC SpA of Zola Predosa near Bologna. The about page covers development, manufacturing, installation and after-sales service, and the region menu lists local sites for Italy, the UK, France, Spain, Poland, Switzerland, the Netherlands, South Africa, Australia and the Middle East.

Its JMS management software is offered as a cloud service for a monthly fee instead of a large licence, with maintenance, support and upgrades included. Entry and exit stations, barriers and pay stations keep their business logic on site, so the car park keeps working through a long internet outage. The history line dates the roots to 1965, and the ownership of FAAC SpA is not stated on the pages checked.

Standout feature. HUB Parking Technology is the only vendor in the list that says outright its car park continues working through a prolonged internet outage.

#6 Scheidt & Bachmann Parking

Moenchengladbach, Germany Founded 1872 On request, no prices published Demo on request

Best for: Hotels, airports, shopping centres and cities choosing between a cloud platform and an established on-site system

• Operating company. Scheidt & Bachmann Parking Solutions GmbH
• Jurisdiction. EU (Germany)
• Where the data sits. Not stated on the pages checked
• Source code. Closed source
• Replaces. T2 Systems

Scheidt & Bachmann Parking Solutions GmbH of Moenchengladbach is the parking arm of a family group that says it was founded in 1872, employs about 3,500 people and runs around 30 subsidiaries. The imprint lists HRB 19272 at the Moenchengladbach court, and the site is organised by industry as well as by product.

There are two product lines. entervo infinite is the newer cloud platform with central control of many sites and a self-service area for drivers and companies, while entervo.core is the established solution with camera-based ticketless parking and a hybrid mode that falls back to a barcode ticket when a plate is not read. Named modules include smart select, mobility CONNECT and smart go, and the documentation is brochure-level with no prices.

Standout feature. Scheidt & Bachmann Parking is the only vendor in the list that pairs camera-based ticketless entry with an automatic barcode ticket fallback.

#7 SKIDATA

Groedig, Salzburg, Austria On request, no prices published Demo on request

Best for: Operators of many car parks that want central monitoring and an open set of partner interfaces

• Operating company. SKIDATA GmbH
• Jurisdiction. EU (Austria)
• Where the data sits. Not stated on the pages checked
• Source code. Closed source
• Replaces. T2 Systems

SKIDATA, based in Groedig near Salzburg, is the Austrian access supplier whose parking software is sold as Mobility Suite as a Service. The core software becomes a managed subscription, and extras such as mobile payment, digital validation, a customer web shop, B2B parker management, analytics and EV charging are switched on per site.

The imprint names SKIDATA GmbH with company number 59669z at the Salzburg regional court, and the footer carries the ASSA ABLOY mark. The operator page promises one application for monitoring, incident handling and tasks over all car parks, and states ISAE 3402 and ISO 27001. SKIDATA Connect lists partner interfaces including payment apps and public transport, and a blog entry argues the platform also fits a 60-space hotel car park.

Standout feature. SKIDATA is the only vendor in the list that names ISAE 3402, an assurance standard for outsourced IT governance.

#8 Flowbird

Best for: Cities and authorities that run street meters, mobile payment and permits on one platform

• Operating company. Flowbird (société par actions simplifiée)
• Jurisdiction. EU (France)
• Where the data sits. Not stated on the pages checked
• Source code. Closed source
• Replaces. T2 Systems

Flowbird, a French company in Neuilly-sur-Seine, comes from street parking. Its history starts with the first Paris parking meter in 1968 and the creation of Parkeon in 2003, and the Flowbird HUB platform applies the same tariffs and rules across meters and mobile apps, with revenue reporting and meter monitoring.

The terms page names Flowbird as a société par actions simplifiée with capital of 35,456,049 euros, SIREN 444 719 272, RCS Paris. The company reports more than 100 projects worldwide. Off-street terminals and ANPR enforcement come through YourParkingSpace, described as a UK marketplace and a European operator. EasyPark Group closed its acquisition in January 2025, and the combined group now calls itself Arrive.

Standout feature. Flowbird is the only vendor in the list whose platform covers street meters, mobile payment, permits and ANPR enforcement together.

• Operating company. Yellowbrick International B.V.
• Jurisdiction. EU (Netherlands)
• Where the data sits. Not stated on the pages checked
• Source code. Closed source
• Replaces. T2 Systems mobile payments

Yellowbrick is a Dutch mobile parking service, and its business offer is a payment channel rather than operator software. The privacy statement names Yellowbrick International B.V., Joop Geesinkweg 203b in Amsterdam-Duivendrecht, as controller, and the Dutch pages also mention Yellowbrick B.V. as the local service centre.

The business page lists two plans, both excluding VAT: Unlimited at EUR 5.99 per user per month, and Basic at EUR 3.99 plus EUR 0.49 per parking action. Street and garage parking run in one app, and costs arrive on one invoice with VAT specification. The home page claims this saves six hours of expense claims per employee per year, which is the company's figure, and My Yellowbrick gives a view of the fleet.

Standout feature. Yellowbrick is the only vendor in the list whose cheaper Basic plan charges per parking action, at EUR 0.49 each.

• Where the data sits. Not stated on the pages checked
• Source code. Closed source
• Replaces. T2 Systems (visibility and data side)
