Park the Smart Way

About Us

Shades Parking

Shades Parking is a US-based technology startup transforming how parking spaces are managed and monetized. We design, deploy, and maintain a complete smart parking ecosystem — from IoT-powered barriers and cloud-based management platforms to mobile applications for operators and drivers.

Our mission is simple: help property owners turn underutilized parking into a secure, revenue-generating asset — with zero upfront cost. We handle the technology, the installation, and the ongoing support. You focus on your business.

Founded on the belief that parking should be smarter, not harder, we’re growing beyond the US with partners across Europe and the Middle East, bringing intelligent parking solutions to properties worldwide.

Smart parking, simplified

How it works

Smart Private Parking (for businesses)

Real-time control for your staff. Strategic insights for your managers.

Staff Flow

Step 1 — Monitor
Your staff sees every parking space at a glance. Color-coded statuses show what’s available, reserved, occupied, or in maintenance.

Step 2 — Reserve & Control
Create a session with one click. Lower or raise the barrier remotely. Add vehicle tags, notes, or apply discounts — all from the web portal.

Step 3 — Complete
When the vehicle leaves, the session ends automatically. Pending payments are flagged for collection.

Manager Overview

Dashboard & Analytics
Managers access a dedicated portal with comprehensive usage statistics: occupancy rates, median parking times, peak hours, revenue tracking, and employee activity. Data-driven insights to optimize your operation.

Smart Parking (for drivers)

Find, reserve, park, and go — all from your phone.

Steps

Step 1 — Find
Open the app and browse available parking spaces near you. See real-time availability, rates, and distance.

Step 2 — Reserve
Pick your spot and reserve it instantly. Your space is secured and waiting for you.

Step 3 — Park
Arrive at your space, confirm your position, and lower the barrier with a tap. Park your car.

Step 4 — Leave
When you’re done, simply drive away. The system detects your departure, raises the barrier, and charges your card automatically.
