A Parking App That Goes One Step Beyond

Mayendia: “It’s really not about inventory and having a lot of parking; it’s about the proper management and making these spaces easily accessible to drivers.”

SANTA ANA, CA—The MyPark app allows users to reserve parking spaces up to six months in advance of using them and uses barrier technology to keep the space, while partnering with other parking apps, CEO Luis Mayendia tells GlobeSt.com. The Miami-based company is bringing its innovative parking solution to MainPlace Mall here, where customers can now reserve a prime parking spot with a tap on their smartphones. The innovative solution saves valuable time and energy by eliminating the hunt to find the perfect spot.

MyPark has developed an app that enables consumers to locate and reserve a prime parking spot in convenient locations close to where they want to be in malls, on the first floor in garages and close to the gate at the airport. Users simply tell the app where and when they would like to park, select the section they want (the best spot is selected automatically by default) and confirm their reservation. Once they arrive at their reserved space, they tap a button on their iOS or Android device, and the unique MyPark reservation unit will lower to give them access. Besides the convenience it provides to consumers, it also helps to reduce pollution and increases the safety of parking lots by reducing the number of cars driving around the lot.
