DataPark Selects ParkWhiz to Drive Online Sales for Parking Industry

ParkWhiz, the nation's largest parking aggregation and marketing applications platform, and DataPark, a leading manufacturer of automated parking systems, today announced a strategic partnership and release of fully integrated, end-to-end eParking solutions to the commercial marketplace that enable parking asset owners, managers and operators to optimize yield.

With more than 2,000 installations across the United States alone, DataPark has provided airports, municipalities, stadiums, hospitals, and more with first-rate Parking Access and Revenue Control Systems since 1965.

"ParkWhiz immediately generates new revenue streams for parking providers while increasing repeat business from a greatly enhanced user experience," said Stefan Tea of DataPark.
