Pressrelease - SKIDATA acquires ePARK

Salzburg/Grödig, September 3, 2025 – SKIDATA, a global leader in access and revenue management, has acquired ePARK, a Sweden-based provider of app-based smart parking services. The transaction took effect on September 1, 2025.

Strengthening SKIDATA’s app-based parking capabilities through ePARK’s mobile-first platform ePARK’s combined offering supports integrated on- and off-street parking solutions acquisition reflects growing demand for smart mobility in urban environments

Responding to evolving urban mobility needs
As cities adapt to changing mobility patterns, parking is becoming more integrated, digital, and user-oriented. A key trend is the convergence of on-street and off-street parking – driven by the need for seamless user journeys, flexible payment models, and connected infrastructure. ePARK addresses these needs through a purpose-built platform for digital short-term parking, digital permits, and value-added services. The company offers a modular and scalable system used by more than 200 municipalities and private operators and processes over 6.7 million transactions per year. Trusted by over 2 million users, ePARK is known for combining a user-friendly mobile experience with a reliable back-office system, making parking administration more efficient for operators and municipalities.

Evolving into the app-based smart parking segment
With this acquisition, SKIDATA evolves further in the app-based parking market – complementing its long-standing role in infrastructure-based access systems.

The goal is to strengthen operator offerings and expand choice through improved core services and continued integration with third-party systems. By adding ePARK’s platform, SKIDATA enables cities and operators to deliver even better mobility experiences through interoperable, scalable technologies. This approach ensures that public and private operators retain complete control over customer relationships and service models while gaining access to a broader ecosystem.

“We’re excited to expand our direct offering to cities and operators while staying true to our commitment to open integrations – including third-party apps and systems,” says Willem-Jan Balk, SVP Marketing & Sales at SKIDATA. “With SKIDATA Connect, we enable simple, secure, and sustainable integration that adds value without limiting flexibility.”

All-in-one solutions for on- and off-street parking
Integrating ePARK’s offering with SKIDATA’s core portfolio creates a complete solution that spans both on-street and off-street parking environments. This allows cities and operators to manage access, payment, and permits through a unified system, improving efficiency, user satisfaction, and data-driven service delivery.

ePARK will continue to operate as a separate business unit within the SKIDATA structure. The brand, platform, and leadership remain unchanged, ensuring continuity for customers and partners while benefiting from the scale and resources of SKIDATA’s global organization.
