SKIDATA + ePARK: Building the Future of Parking Together
SKIDATA’s acquisition of ePARK means more flexibility, more services, and more seamless parking experiences for municipalities, operators, and private owners - and ultimately, more satisfied drivers who enjoy a smoother, stress-free parking experience.
Urban mobility is at a tipping point. Citizens expect digital services, EVs are becoming the norm, and cities are under pressure to reduce emissions while improving the flow of traffic. At the same time, operators and municipalities are managing legacy systems, complex infrastructure, and rising administrative costs.
By acquiring ePARK, SKIDATA isn’t just expanding - we’re unlocking the full digital potential of parking. Think smarter, app-driven services that meet today’s mobility demands and tomorrow’s challenges.
From Infrastructure to Ecosystem: A Unified Solution for Modern Mobility
Traditional parking solutions treat on-street and off-street systems as separate — forcing operators to juggle multiple vendors, platforms, and processes. With ePARK now part of SKIDATA, we’re building an integrated ecosystem that connects every part of parking - on-street and off-street alike.
- App-based parking and EV charging
- Digital permits and Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) automation
- Real-time data and control
- Open integrations through SKIDATA Connect
What’s In It for You: Less Admin, More Revenue, Happier Drivers
For operators and municipalities, the benefits are immediate:
- Create new revenue streams with flexible services like digital permits, EV charging, shared-space optimization, and on-demand parking insurance: a unique ePARK feature that adds peace of mind for drivers.
- Cut operational headaches with automated invoicing, central reporting, and reduced paperwork
- Delight users with seamless parking, app control, and flexible payment options - now including PayPal, Swish, invoice, and BLIK.
It’s digital parking made human — frictionless for drivers, efficient for administrators.
Already Proven. Ready for What’s Next.
Over 200 Swedish municipalities and private operators already use ePARK. More than 2 million users rely on it daily, and it processes 6.7 million+ transactions annually. That’s not theory — it’s tested, scalable technology now backed by SKIDATA’s infrastructure and global footprint.
And to ensure a smooth transition: ePARK will continue as its own business unit with its current team and platform intact. You get the best of both worlds — innovation and continuity.
Use-Case: Karlastaden, Gothenburg — Parking Built for the Future
One example of this vision in action is unfolding in Karlastaden, a vibrant new district on Lindholmen in Gothenburg.
- 250 smart parking spaces support residents, workers, and visitors in a fast-growing urban area.
- Digital permits replace physical passes, making administration smooth and efficient for both municipalities and users.
- Pool-in-Pool sharing ensures maximum utilization of spaces by allowing different groups — residents, visitors, and suppliers — to access the same parking supply flexibly.
The result? A well-organized, sustainable parking system that matches the pace of Karlastaden’s growth while enhancing livability for everyone who uses the area.
ePARK was already thriving on its own. Now imagine what ePARK and SKIDATA can achieve together.
