The company specializes in business intelligence and yield management solutions for the global parking industry, which is valued at around $100 billion.

The team comprises MIT PhDs, data scientists, and software engineers who utilize predictive analytics and real-time data to optimize pricing and reduce operational costs for parking operators. Smarking operates as a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) provider, offering solutions such as an Automated Yield Management system, business intelligence software, and a dynamic pricing engine.

The company has successfully deployed its solutions across over 2,500 parking locations in North America, serving a diverse clientele that includes commercial real estate owners, municipalities, and sports venues. Following its acquisition by ParkHub in October 2022, Smarking continues to innovate in parking management and urban mobility.
