About Smarking

Smarking is a group of MIT PhDs, stellar software engineers, and seasoned business professionals who set out on a journey to bring cutting-edge solutions to the parking world. Frustrated that, unlike many other industries, the $100 billion parking industry (worldwide) still doesn’t have state-of-the-art data analytics or yield management technologies, they are passionate about pushing the industry forward. In a short eighteen-month period, Smarking has attracted a tremendous amount of customers and grown their team into one with experts from both parking and tech. With great passion and continuous innovation, they are working on the frontier of the parking industry, shaping a bright future together with their customers.
