Telenav, a US supplier of connected-car and location-based services, and UK parking-services provider, Parkopedia, have announced a global technology partnership.
Telenav’s In-Car Commerce (ICC) products and services for automotive OEMs will feature Parkopedia’s on-and off-street parking information and an ability to reserve and pay for off-street parking.
“Parkopedia is enabling us to further our commitment to delightful driving experiences by bringing a simple solution to the frustrating issue of finding and paying for parking,” said Sal Dhanani, Telenav co-founder and chief operating officer.
“Our solution will let OEMs deliver even more value-added services to their customers.”
Vivid Commerce, part of Telenav’s Vivid connected-car platform, is designed to enable merchants to offer in-car commerce to drivers and passengers in a safe and convenient manner.
The partnership with Parkopedia and its integration into Vivid Commerce means that consumers will be able to search, reserve, and pay for parking directly from their vehicle.
Vivid Commerce with Parkopedia leverages in-vehicle navigation to intelligently find and reserve parking spots based on arrival times.
Furthermore, the solution includes voice assistance and natural language technologies to ensure drivers and passengers can do all this using their voice.
Parkopedia’s full portfolio of services, covering off-street and on-street parking, and payment solutions, are designed to ensure drivers can find, reserve, and pay for parking across 15,000 cities in 89 countries.
