AppyParking is a technology platform that allows drivers to find parking spaces in London through its mobile application. [1] Previously known as Yellow Line Parking, it was created to help drivers find out information on yellow line restrictions in London. The company was founded in London in 2013 by Dan Hubert (current CEO) and Enric Requena (current CTO). [2]
AppyParking has both a consumer and enterprise product, with the consumer app being free on iOS and Android. [3]
The enterprise app, AppyParking Pro, is a paid for service targeting businesses with fleets. [4]
History
The company was founded by Dan Hubert and Enric Requena in 2013 after trying to park outside The Royal Albert Hall in London. [5] In December 2014, AppyParking graduated from the 12-week Microsoft Ventures Accelerator program in London.[6] In December 2014, AppyParking launched an enterprise app aimed at commercial fleets. [7] In January 2015, Ford announced a partnership with AppyParking at the CES 2015.
Dan Hubert has been CEO, and Enric Requena has been the CTO since 2013. The company is headquartered in Whitechapel, London.
Services
The consumer app allows drivers to have local knowledge about any destination. When green areas appear on the map it means it’s free to park, and red zones show that restrictions still apply. It also covers resident parking bays, pay-and-displays and single yellow lines. The app also identifies electric charging bays, disabled bays, motorcycle bays and the nearest petrol stations. [8]
Rebrand as AppyParking and investment from Rosemont Group Capital Partners
In 2014, Yellow Line Parking rebranded as AppyParking. In December 2014, AppyParking announced that it had closed a seed round from Rosemont Group Capital Partners and angel investors. [9]
Media coverage and Awards
Since being founded in 2013, AppyParking has been featured on a variety of media outlets. Some of which include Stuff Magazine, The Evening Standard, The Daily Times, Skype, The Next Web and Zipcar [10] As well as that, AppyParking has been featured in many newspapers, was the Grand Prize and Popular Choice winner of the Ford London Traffic Tamer Challenge[11], was the Popular Choice winner for the Shanghai Urban Commuter Challenge [12]and placed as one of the top eight apps in the Stuff Gadget Awards 2014.
