Giant Leap Technologies Partners with Parqio to Automate Parking Facility Access

Giant Leap Technologies, a Visma-owned software company, has entered into a strategic partnership with proptech company Parqio. The collaboration strengthens Giant Leap’s commitment to digitizing the entire parking journey through its Parksphere platform.

Through this partnership, Parqio’s technology for automated garage door opening will be integrated directly into Parksphere. This enables the delivery of a comprehensive solution that covers everything from registration and payment to seamless access to parking facilities.

“This partnership is a significant step in our ambition to digitize and automate the entire parking experience. By connecting DigitalPermit with Parqio’s digital access solution, we are creating a more seamless and cohesive user experience,” says Celine Skarderud, Product Manager at Giant Leap Technologies.

Parqio’s technology allows garage doors to open automatically via a mobile phone, eliminating the need for remote controls or manual actions. The solution integrates smoothly with existing infrastructure and grants access exclusively to authorized users.

For the end-user, this integration ensures a unified experience throughout the entire parking process, from booking and permit administration to automated entry into enclosed facilities.

“Together with Giant Leap Technologies, we can help make parking simpler and more automated for both users and operators. The integration with Parksphere makes our technology accessible to a larger segment of the market,” says Ketil Høigaard, CEO of Parqio.

The joint solution is highly relevant for a wide range of use cases, including residential cooperatives, commercial buildings, municipal parking facilities, and smart city mobility solutions.
