Back To News/PR Index | | SpotHero and FlashParking Launch Bluetooth Parking in Austin | Austin pilot program enables SpotHero drivers to enter FlashPARCS-equipped garages without rolling down car windows | “At
SpotHero, we believe faster, easier and more intuitive parking technology
is a critical ingredient for the next phase of urban mobility—a multi-model
future where parking technologies make the experience of driving and parking
easy, convenient and enjoyable. FlashParking shares this vision,” said
Adam Zilberbaum, SVP of Technology Partnerships at SpotHero. “One-tap redemption
is a concrete step toward that vision, as our companies work together to
make parking a completely frictionless experience for drivers today and
tomorrow.”
The capability works using Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) technology—a directional, low-voltage Bluetooth signal that remains in sleep mode until a connection is made between the mobile device and FlashParking’s FlashPARCS Smart Station. With FlashBeacon, FlashParking’s patent pending BLE technology, they hope to broaden the impact of this technology by enabling SpotHero drivers to enter garages without needing to open their windows. “Part of perfecting the parking experience is developing innovative, future-ready technology, like FlashBeacon, that not only simplifies, but enhances the overall parking experience,” said Juan Rodriguez, CEO and co-founder of FlashParking. “SpotHero immediately saw the value and took the opportunity to connect their app to our BLE-ready Smart Stations to deliver a truly seamless parking customer experience via their one-tap redemption.” The program, which begins on October 22, will include 14 parking locations and will be offered to the majority of SpotHero users, with the intention of expanding the offering after the pilot’s success.
