PayByPhone and Designa sign strategic global partnership agreement for frictionless off-street gated garage parking

PayByPhone, a global leader in mobile parking payments, has signed a strategic global partnership agreement with Designa, a global leader in fully automated parking systems for more than 70 years. The agreement aims to provide PayByPhone users a frictionless entry and exit at off-street gated garages – including airports, hotels, shopping centers and hospitals – thanks to integration with Designa‘s intelligent parking management solutions delivered through PayByPhone’s AutoPay function.

‍

Anthony Cashel, Chief Operating Officer, PayByPhone, says, “This strategic partnership with a global market leader like Designa further cements not only our commitment to simplify our users’ journeys but also continues to expand significantly our global influence and scope in gated off-street parking. Today we are delivering a truly frictionless, integrated experience for our drivers that is backed by intelligent, connected solutions.”

‍

Christian Grzona, Chief Digital Officer, Designa, says, “"This partnership reflects Designa's commitment to delivering integrated solutions that simplify everyday life for parking operators. With the connection of PayByPhone's parking use-cases to Designa PARKETPLACE® we enable our customer base to unlock the massive potential from the PayByPhone user base for their parking asset and digitalize more parking transactions."

‍

The first city to benefit from the partnership between PayByPhone and Designa is Nuremberg, Germany. Other locations across Germany, Austria and then North America, France, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom will follow. To use AutoPay, drivers simply opt-in in the PayByPhone app before starting their journey. Once activated, they can enter and exit participating garages without taking a ticket, visiting pay stations, or even opening the app.  To learn more about PayByPhone, visit www.paybyphone.com.
