Unity5 is a software business delivering SaaS solutions and is the UK’s leading provider of software to the parking and traffic management sector. The product suite offers comprehensive solutions for public bodies and private companies to monitor and manage traffic and mobility services effectively.
Founded in Exeter in 2010 and headquartered nearby, Unity5 provides enforcement and permitting software for private parking companies and local authorities to manage parking, traffic, and environmental regulations. The demand for efficient software in this market has grown significantly due to increased automation, digitisation, and a more complex regulatory environment. With approximately 70+ employees, Unity5 generates recurring revenues of £8 million annually from over 100 customers. In September 2022, growth investor Synova made a majority investment to support further expansion in the UK and internationally.
