What Parkimovil does
Parkimovil, operating commercially under the brand Kigo, is a Mexican digital mobility and access-control platform founded in 2010 in Puebla, Mexico. The company began as a pioneer of virtual parking meters in Latin America, enabling mobile-phone-based payment for street parking, and has since evolved into a unified platform integrating identity, access control, and payment processing across multiple physical infrastructure types including barriers, doors, turnstiles, elevators, locks, gates, and cameras. The platform supports multiple authentication modalities — mobile app, QR codes, license plate recognition (placa), NFC/RFID, and biometrics — and operates through a single administrative console for nodes, permissions, visits, and payments. Kigo claims over 5.7 million app downloads, 76 million annual operations, presence in 75+ cities, and 650+ active projects.
The product portfolio spans seven core modules — Kigo Estacionamiento Digital, Parquímetro Virtual Parkimovil, Kigo Residencial, Kigo Corporativo, Kigo Universidades, Kigo Colegios — plus a broader ecosystem of 15+ verticals (Gobierno, Centro Comercial, Aeropuerto, Salud, Central de Autobuses, Museo, Parque, Industrial, Club, Eventos). Customer segments span government/municipalities, residential communities, educational institutions, corporate/enterprise, retail/commercial centers, transportation hubs, and events. Revenue derives from a mix of transaction fees on parking payments, recurring subscription fees for platform access, and professional services for physical infrastructure integration. Distribution is hybrid: a self-serve mobile app for individual/SMB users (iOS and Android), direct enterprise sales for large municipal and corporate accounts, and channel/reseller relationships with system integrators.
The business model is asset-light and platform-mediated, with modular implementation that connects to existing physical infrastructure rather than replacing it, reducing adoption friction. Total disclosed funding across seven rounds (2013-2023) is approximately $3 million, with the largest round of $1M led by Proeza Ventures in August 2020; the most recent 2023 round came from Yellow Hub. Leadership comprises co-founder and CEO Carlos Anaya Rodríguez, CTO Luis Alberto Gomez, CCO Manuel Monarrez, and COO Sergio Martinez Arriaga. Geographic focus is concentrated in Latin America, with no disclosed restrictions but no claim of global footprint.

Parkimovil competitors and assessment
Company assessmentDirect peers
- SpotHero: Digital parking marketplace and reservation platform connecting drivers with off-street parking; comparable to Kigo Estacionamiento Digital on the consumer parking experience, though focused on off-street inventory aggregation.
- PayByPhone: Mobile parking payment platform owned by Volkswagen Financial Services; operates municipal contracts globally and competes head-to-head with Parkimovil in Latin American cities for street-parking digitization tenders.
- ParkMobile: Mobile parking payment app widely deployed across US cities and increasingly in Latin America; offers the same digital meter and consumer payment experience as Parkimovil's virtual parquímetro and Estacionamiento Digital modules.
- Passport: Mobile payment and management platform for parking, transit, and permits used by US and Canadian municipalities; overlaps with Kigo's government-facing digital parking and permit/credential workflows.
- Flowbird (formerly Parkeon): Provider of parking meters, ticket machines, and integrated urban mobility software to cities worldwide; competes with Kigo across both hardware (parking meters) and software (central management platforms).
- EasyPark: European-headquartered smart-parking and mobility platform offering mobile parking payments, guidance, and enforcement tooling to municipalities - directly overlapping Kigo's virtual meter and digital parking core, though operating at much larger global scale.
Broad incumbents

- Genetec (AutoVu/Security Center): Enterprise physical security and ALPR (license plate recognition) platform used by municipalities and corporations for access control and parking enforcement; comparable to Kigo's license-plate and corporate access modules but as part of a much broader security suite.
