JustPark, a parking technology platform, has announced its acquisition of Oobeo, a startup specializing in valet, permit management, and contactless parking software. The acquisition is a key part of JustPark’s growth strategy in North America.
Oobeo’s technology is designed to reduce fraud and provide seamless, on-demand parking solutions. Over 6 million users already use the company’s mobile-first platform.
By combining Oobeo’s platform with JustPark’s existing network, the company aims to offer more cost-effective and scalable parking technology to a broader range of clients, including municipalities, real estate developers, and institutions like universities. This move will enhance JustPark’s ability to provide innovative products across the fragmented mobility ecosystem.
