Otta's take
Sam Franklin
CEO of Otta
Private space owners and commercial parking space operators use YourParkingSpace to fill their empty parking spaces, connecting them to an online audience of drivers searching for parking. By using YourParkingSpace, space owners can monetise this under-utilised resource whilst commercial clients across hospitality, retail, and property can drive footfall and improve customer experience. The platform uses proprietary technology and live data analytics to deliver their intelligent parking solutions.
YourParkingSpace already markets over 350,000 bays in over 50 cities in the UK, including private space providers and operators such as Tesco, Morrisons, and Premier Inn. It now serves 1 million drivers in the UK.
The company has benefited from shifts in behaviour caused by COVID-19, with returning workers increasingly choosing to drive over taking public transport. In addition, with large space owners suffering from declining footfall driven by the shift to online shopping and commerce, this trend is encouraging them to assess ways to optimise their parking estates. YourParkingSpace’s 2022 acquisition by urban mobility company Flowbird will allow them to improve their technology and integrate into Flowbird's 80-city-plus network.
