About AppyWay
AppyWay helps cities reduce carbon emissions by making it easier to manage and find parking.
The company started with a simple parking app called AppyParking because street parking data wasn't easy to access or understand. This led them to create the largest database of standardized parking data in the UK.
Our Traffic Suite platform empowers local authorities with best-in-class kerbside data, APIs, and tools to manage traffic orders, parking, and street space more efficiently.
Now, AppyWay's platform is used by cities across Europe and even in New York City. It provides parking maps, real-time availability, and cashless payment options to help drivers and delivery fleets find parking more efficiently.
They've raised over £20 million from investors like Hyundai and Mastercard to continue growing. If you want to help solve real-world problems and make a positive impact, AppyWay might be a great fit for you.
