For our new project partner Parkdepot , we are looking for Python developers. Parkdepot is a specialist in digital and innovative parking solutions. The company manages parking spaces with a camera-based license plate scanner which maintains GDPR-compliancy. This enables a digitized recording and billing of parking transactions without barriers or inspectors and these become obsolete due to the in-house developed AI software that monitors the parking lot. With the use of our AI, parking spaces are used more efficiently by enabling the rental of unused capacity or checking the demand for e-charging stations. Parkdepot offers a platform to transform parking lots into modern and smart mobility hubs.
