One shared parking record

Every team, every app,
working from the same record.

A parking stay is a single record in IPark. The operator’s rules, the driver’s payment, the inspector’s check and the evening report all read and write the same one, so nobody works from an outdated copy.

Fine alerts

A fine reaches the owner,
not everyone with the plate.

Anyone can type a plate into an app. So IPark only sends a fine alert to the person who has proved the car is theirs, and to the people they choose to tell.

How a driver becomes the verified owner

  1. Add the car

    The driver adds the plate to their garage in the app, as they do today.

  2. Prove it once

    They send a photo of the registration certificate with its number and the keeper’s name.

  3. Staff check it

    The operator compares the certificate with the plate in the console, then approves it or says what is missing.

  4. Share if they want

    The owner can pass on fine alerts by QR code to family or other drivers of the car, up to ten people.

Who hears about a fine on this car

  • The verified ownerAn alert in the app. They can pay or dispute the fine.
  • People the owner shares withAn alert in the app. They can view the fine, not pay or dispute it.
  • Anyone else who saved this plateNothing. They are not told and cannot see the fine.
  • A car with no verified ownerThe paper notice left on the car, as always.

Example plate.

Private by design

  • The certificate is seen only by the staff who review it.
  • People who get shared alerts see the owner’s first name, never the document.
  • Each plate has one verified owner. When a car is sold, approving the new owner ends the old one.
  • The owner can remove anyone, and anyone can stop their alerts, at any time.

In the operator console

A review queue shows each certificate next to the plate, the name on the account and the car’s earlier owners. Every approval, rejection and revocation is kept in the audit log, and each fine shows who was alerted.

Inside the operator console

Your whole operation.
In one console.

From the first zone to the last appeal, one workspace connects the decisions made in the office with the apps used on the street.

Draw the streets you manage, attach a tariff and set the maximum stay. Drivers see the rules for the exact place they parked.

From concept to integration

The business flow.
The engineering behind it.

The car becomes one more IPark client. Parking rules and payment decisions stay in the platform, where they already live.

01 / Business logic

The same rules, wherever you start.

The same zone, tariff and maximum stay apply on every screen. A session starts only after payment is confirmed.

02 / Vehicle interface

Native car surfaces. Shared IPark services.

Android Auto uses a companion on the phone. A dedicated Android Automotive OS app runs in supported vehicles. Both would use platform-approved interfaces and IPark services.

03 / Session & payment

Confirm once. See it everywhere.

Vehicle and phone read the confirmed session from IPark. Expiry reminders continue on the phone.

Car companion + phone appIPark API · rules and paymentsShared session · console and inspectors
Integration notes

What exists today: zone lookup, payment intents with server-side verification, and active-session reads — all behind the same driver authentication and vehicle-ownership checks the mobile app already uses.

What is new: native car companions, hand-off between car and phone, platform-compliant payment authorisation, retry-safe session start and recovery after a lost connection. A session is never shown as started until the platform confirms it.

Release depends on platform entitlements, approved templates, driver-distraction guidelines, simulator and in-vehicle testing, and store review. This scene is a product concept: IPark does not currently ship a CarPlay, Android Auto or manufacturer integration.

Questions & answers

Good questions.
Clear answers.

Getting to know IPark? Start here.

All questions

What is IPark?

IPark is a parking management platform with three connected parts: a driver app for starting, paying for and extending parking; an inspector app for checking plates at the kerb; and a web console where operators manage zones, tariffs, teams, fines and reports.

Who is IPark for?

Municipalities, private car-park operators, airports, campuses and event venues — anyone who runs paid parking and needs drivers, inspectors and back-office staff working from the same information.

How does a driver pay for parking?

The driver picks a saved vehicle, confirms the zone — detected by GPS or found by address — chooses a duration and sees the price before paying. The session starts once payment is confirmed, and the app sends a reminder before it expires.

Can drivers extend a session remotely?

Yes. Drivers add time from the app wherever they are, up to the maximum stay the operator has set for that zone.

How do inspectors check a vehicle?

Inspectors photograph the plate for automatic recognition or type it in. The app shows straight away whether a valid session exists, which zone it covers and when it ends, and records any follow-up — including a fine — against the check.

Can we set our own zones, tariffs and rules?

Yes. Operators draw zones and streets, attach tariffs one by one or by uploading a tariff file, and set maximum stays. Country rules such as grace periods, VAT and the default currency are configured once and apply wherever they should.

Which payment methods are supported?

Payment providers are enabled per country: Stripe for cards and wallets such as Apple Pay and Google Pay, alongside local gateways, mobile wallets, bank transfer or cash where the operator offers them. Drivers only see the methods available where they park.

Does IPark work across several cities or countries?

Yes. One platform can serve several countries, operators and zones, each with its own currency, tax and parking rules. Roles and geographic scopes keep every team member focused on the areas they manage.

Who is told when a car gets a fine?

Only the car’s verified owner, plus anyone they chose to share fine alerts with, gets an alert in the app. Saving a plate in a garage is not enough. If nobody has proved they own the car, the driver finds out from the paper notice left on it.

How does a driver prove they own a car?

From the car in their garage, they send a photo of the registration certificate with its number and the keeper’s name. Operator staff check it in the console and approve it or explain what is missing. Each plate can have only one verified owner.

Can drivers dispute a fine?

Yes. Drivers can dispute a fine from the app. The appeal reaches the operator console with the inspection evidence and the session record attached, so staff can review it and record a decision in one place.

Are the previews on this page real?

They are simplified, interactive replicas built from the real IPark designs, using demo vehicles and illustrative activity. Nothing you do here is saved or charged.

Will IPark be available in cars?

Android Auto and a dedicated Android Automotive OS app are on the roadmap. Supported vehicles and launch timing are not yet announced. The preview is a local simulation.
