- FlashParking and Arrive Mobility are merging to create an end-to-end touchless digital mobility platform, joining FlashParking’s cloud-based mobility hub operating system and Arrive’s demand management platform facilitating consumer procurement, wayfinding, and digital payments.
FlashParking and Arrive Mobility are merging in a combination that creates the only end-to-end touchless digital mobility platform joining FlashParking’s cloud-based mobility hub operating system and Arrive’s demand management platform facilitating consumer procurement, wayfinding, and digital payments for parking and related services. The combined entity will offer B2B and B2C seamless digital parking solutions and mobility technologies to increase operational efficiency for thousands of parking operations and provide frictionless, fully digital consumer parking, and mobility experiences to millions of consumers.
FlashParking had quickly emerged as the industry’s technology leader by focusing on the supply side of the parking market, supporting its operating partners in thousands of locations in North America with its cloud-based platform and SaaS solutions. And similarly, Arrive has emerged as the demand-side technology leader, developing, and deploying a digital platform that organizes demand and manages digital payments for operators, integration partners, and consumers.
For consumers and operators of parking operations, the pandemic has accelerated the need for a fully digital touchless platform with robust and real-time business intelligence to quickly react to changes, and an expanding ecosystem of mobility partners to diversify revenue. And asset owners and operators are moving quickly to provide digital and touchless alternatives to traditional parking tenants as well as the ability for consumers, fleets, and employees to find, book, and pay for parking without having to pull out a credit card or touch a keypad.
By merging, FlashParking and Arrive will provide a comprehensive digital platform to help asset owners and operators maximize asset value, diversify revenue, integrate into smarter cities, and drive demand for their assets. And other partners like event venues, fleets, automakers, service providers, and employers — who need flexible access to parking services can now offer an end-to-end, friction-free, digital parking experience that is customizable to meet specific needs.
FlashParking and Arrive combine to address both sides of the market by providing industry-leading touchless payment solutions and delivering the leading sources of digital parking demand in North America. And the unique ability to deliver a white-label or co-branded digital parking experience through a mobile app, in-car voice or touch interface alongside on-site tap-to-pay signage — all in a single, integrated solution.
KEY QUOTES:
“We have seen first-hand the devastating effects of the pandemic on the parking industry. A key component to recovery is deployment of cloud-based, future-ready technologies that allow asset owners and operators to modernize and diversify their business model with the addition of mobility services. But more importantly, they need a single, comprehensive system of record to digitize their operations and the customer experience. With Arrive’s consumer-facing mobile apps and integrations, their demand network with millions of users, and a robust layer of digital services, all integrated in the FlashParking operating system, that is now possible. Through this unique combination, FlashParking and Arrive will offer the connective tissue between the parking industry and the future of mobility.”
