ParkMe, a US-based provider of real-time parking information backed by a consortium including publisher International Data Group’s corporate venturing unit, has struck a partnership with Amano McGann, a local subsidiary of Amano Corporation and provider of off-street parking automation.
Amano McGann will provide ParkMe with real-time occupancy data from Amano parking installations across the US.
Larry Feuer , executive president of Amano McGann, said: “As the mobile app leader in delivering real-time parking data, ParkMe is highly complementary for the Amano McGann portfolio. The integration of our live-parking databases enables us to improve the parking experience through real-time occupancy information.”
Other investors in ParkMe, besides IDG Ventures, include private equity firm Angeleno Group and venture capital firm Fontinalis Partners, founded by car maker Ford’s chairman Bill Ford.
