Problem
Drivers often struggle to find available parking in urban areas, leading to wasted time and frustration. Existing parking apps may not provide a comprehensive view of all available options, forcing users to guess how long they'll need parking and risk overpaying or receiving parking tickets.
Solution
Zipstall is a mobile parking marketplace that provides users with real-time access to a wide array of parking options, including street parking, underground lots, and free parking zones. The app allows users to specify their trip details and priorities, such as proximity, price, or amenities like heated spaces and pedway connections, to find the optimal parking spot. Zipstall's pay-as-you-go system charges users in 15-minute increments, eliminating the need to estimate parking duration and guaranteeing no parking tickets due to session expiration. The platform also integrates a "Local Dollars" program, rewarding users for reporting parking availability with discounts at partnered local businesses. Furthermore, Zipstall partners with local businesses to offer parking validations, providing users with discounts on parking when visiting participating establishments.
Target Audience
Zipstall primarily targets drivers in urban areas who frequently search for parking and want a comprehensive, cost-effective, and convenient parking solution. The platform also appeals to local businesses seeking to attract customers through parking discounts and rewards.
