What Parqio does

Parqio AS is a Norwegian private company founded in 2019 and headquartered in Oslo that provides a digital garage access management platform for shared garages in residential housing cooperatives (sameier/borettslag), property-managed buildings, and industrial or commercial facilities. The platform is built around three components: the Parqiobox hardware base station (a 4G/5G cellular-connected relay device installed at the gate), the Parqio Admin web portal for managing users, access rights, and gate status, and the Parqio mobile app for iOS and Android. Residents and authorized users can open gates via three methods - a tap in the app, an automatic proximity trigger using the phone's position and speed (no app open required), or a phone call to a Parqio number with DTMF selection - with verification reportedly under 0.2 seconds and 99.7% monthly uptime. License plate recognition and time-limited guest access are offered as additional features.

The company's revenue model is a recurring subscription, primarily B2B. Housing cooperatives and property managers subscribe starting at 490 NOK per month per property with no binding contract, while individual residents pay a separate monthly subscription via Stripe or Vipps for end-user features such as automatic opening and LPR. Parqiobox hardware is sold and installed through certified installation partners that coordinate with major Norwegian gate suppliers, including Hörmann. Go-to-market is sales-led with a dedicated customer advisor assigned to each housing cooperative board, supported by a tri-lingual (Norwegian, English, Swedish) website, a multi-language help center, app-store distribution, and direct phone/chat/email contact. Distribution is reinforced by channel partnerships with OBOS (Norway's largest housing cooperative organization), AF Gruppen (new construction), Giant Leap Technologies (parking permit integration), and Voids (parking optimization). The platform currently processes over 30,000 daily gate openings across Norway and has begun expanding into Sweden as evidenced by Swedish-language site support.

Core offering

Parqio provides a digital garage access management platform consisting of cloud-connected hardware (Parqiobox), a web admin portal, and a mobile app. Housing cooperatives, property managers, and industrial facility operators use the platform to control shared gate access via mobile app, automatic geolocation-based opening, or phone call authentication. Revenue comes primarily from monthly subscriptions for housing cooperatives (starting from 490 NOK/month), with individual residents also able to subscribe for premium features like license plate recognition.

Product overview

Parqio is a unified smart garage management platform designed for shared garages in housing cooperatives (sameier/borettslag) and industrial facilities. The platform consists of the Parqio Admin web portal for administrators, the Parqio mobile app for iPhone and Android, and the Parqiobox hardware base station. Users can open gates via multiple methods: app-based opening, automatic proximity-based opening using phone position/speed, or call-to-open via phone. The platform provides real-time gate status monitoring, access sharing with guests, and license plate recognition for automatic entry. Parqio targets both residential housing cooperatives and industrial/warehouse customers, with integrations for Stripe and Vipps payments, and optional Unloc integration for existing Unloc users.

Scale indicators1 record

Recent moves1 record

Expansion highlights4 records

Emerging players

• Nexudus: Nexudus is a platform for managing coworking and shared spaces, including access control and member management. While focused on flexible workspaces, its member-access and digital-credentials model overlaps thematically with Parqio's shared-garage access.
• Aro Homes / Unloc: Unloc is a Nordic digital key platform for residential and commercial buildings that Parqio integrates with for industrial customers. It targets a similar mobile-credential access use case in the same Norwegian/Nordic market and is a directly comparable emerging peer.

Regional players

• Verisure: Verisure is the leading monitored alarm and smart-home provider in the Nordics and Europe. While broader than Parqio, it serves the same Norwegian and Nordic residential customers and represents a potential bundle competitor for smart home access.

Direct peers

• Latch: Latch provides smart access control for multi-family and commercial buildings via mobile credentials and connected hardware. Like Parqio, it targets property managers and residents with software-defined entry, making it a close direct peer in smart building access.
• Kisi: Kisi offers cloud-managed access control with mobile app, remote unlock, and role-based permissions for offices and multi-tenant buildings. The product model (mobile credentials, admin portal, integrations) closely mirrors Parqio's stack.
• RemoteLock: RemoteLock provides cloud-managed smart locks and access control for vacation rentals, commercial, and multi-family properties. Its mobile-credential and remote administration approach parallels Parqio's residential/light-commercial focus.
• Brivo: Brivo is a cloud-based access control platform for commercial and multi-tenant properties, with mobile credentials, remote management, and integrations. It is highly comparable to Parqio's cloud-administered, mobile-first access model for shared facilities.
• SmartRent: SmartRent delivers smart home and access control specifically for multi-family property managers, with mobile app entry, remote management, and integrations to property management systems. It targets the same housing-cooperative/managed-residential segment as Parqio.

Broad incumbents

• Salto Systems: Salto provides electronic access control for hotels, commercial, and residential buildings, including mobile credentials. Its broad multi-vertical portfolio overlaps with Parqio's access control mission but at much larger scale and geographic reach.
• ASSA ABLOY: ASSA ABLOY is the global leader in locks and access solutions, including connected/smart locks for residential and commercial buildings. As a Swedish-headquartered incumbent with deep relationships with Nordic property managers, it represents the dominant scale player whose installed base Parqio complements.
