Parking Guidance Systems Joins Forces with INDECT and ParkZen to Create a Global Leader in Parking Technology

Parking Guidance Systems, LLC (PGS), a U.S. leader in custom parking technology solutions, has merged with INDECT Electronics & Distribution GmbH (INDECT) and ParkZen. The merger positions PGS as the driving force behind a unified organization that combines hardware innovation, software intelligence, and large-scale deployment expertise to deliver comprehensive parking solutions worldwide.

Over the last 12 years, PGS has become known for its service quality, technological innovation, and ability to execute complex parking projects across the United States. Central to its success has been a strong partnership with INDECT, whose advanced sensor technologies — including ultrasonic single-space detectors and camera-based systems with license plate recognition and occupancy analytics — have set the benchmark for accuracy and reliability in the industry. With this merger, PGS is expanding beyond its U.S. base to strengthen global supply chains, accelerate product development, and replicate its proven model of success in new international markets.

The addition of ParkZen further enhances the group’s capabilities. ParkZen, a Baton Rouge–based software company, has developed a proprietary platform that leverages smartphone-based crowdsourcing and advanced algorithms to provide real-time occupancy data, wayfinding, and parking management tools. The solution works seamlessly with or without hardware, streamlining operations for facility managers while improving the experience for drivers. Features such as integrated payments and permission-based access provide operators with new levels of flexibility and control.

By combining INDECT’s precision hardware, ParkZen’s intelligent software, and PGS’s proven delivery of large-scale systems, the new organization offers one of the most complete technology portfolios in the parking industry. Its solutions support a broad range of sectors, including airports, universities, healthcare facilities, corporate campuses, and mixed-use destinations where efficiency, safety, and convenience are critical.
