SKIDATA has expanded its parking porfolio with the acquisition of ePARK, a Swedish provider of app-based smart parking services.

With this acquisition, SKIDATA says that it is continuing to evolve in the app-based parking market – complementing its long-standing role in infrastructure-based access systems.

The Salzburg-based company’s 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.”

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.
