What InPublic does

InPublic BV is a Dutch parking management and enforcement services company headquartered in Rotterdam, founded in 2012. It provides integrated parking services to Dutch municipalities and commercial property developers, covering on-street enforcement, off-street garage management, permit administration, objection and appeal processing, financial administration, 24/7 remote control-room operations, and online marketing for parking facilities. Its named client base spans 20+ municipalities (including Diemen, Heerenveen, Rotterdam, Waalwijk, Assen, Harlingen, Oss, Deurne) and major property developers and real estate investors (BPD, Dura Vermeer, Amvest, Aroundtown, GREEN, Bouwinvest, Rijksvastgoedbedrijf), with several relationships exceeding 7-9 years.

The company's core technology stack includes a 100% electric fleet of scan vehicles equipped with Genetec-certified automated license plate recognition (ANPR), integrations with Sigmax and ACI enforcement software, Skidata PMS garage equipment, and Eneco eMobility for EV charging (with dynamic load balancing). A central alarm room (meldkamer) connects parking facilities to remote operators using intercom and intelligent CCTV. Self-service digital channels — including an online parking portal (digitaalparkeerloket.nl) for objections, a reservation system with iDeal/credit card payment, and subscription management — round out the platform. Services are modular and can be deployed standalone or bundled. The EV charging product line has scaled to 136 points at Parking Centrum Oosterdok in Amsterdam, the largest inner-city EV charging hub in the Netherlands.

InPublic's business model is a managed-services / professional-services hybrid, with revenue generated from multi-year municipal service contracts, performance-based exploitation fees (e.g., a share of managed parking revenue or 'Succes=Delen' variable compensation), and transaction-fee arrangements for parking exploitation. Go-to-market is sales-led, executed through Dutch public procurement (Europese aanbesteding) and direct enterprise sales to property developers, supported by SEO, SEA, and content marketing. The company deliberately structures short contracts with variable performance-linked compensation to incentivize outcomes. Quantified client outcomes cited by the company include an 80% cost reduction and 250% improvement in overall parking result at Parking Klercq (Alkmaar), 60% revenue growth, 18 additional opening hours per week, and 60,000+ monthly website visitors at Parking Centrum Oosterdok.

Revenue model

1. Integrated Parking Management Services: InPublic provides municipalities and property developers with comprehensive parking management services including enforcement, remote management, permit administration, financial administration, objection handling, and digital services. Revenue is generated through service contracts with public and private clients, typically structured as performance-based arrangements (Succes=Delen / variable compensation tied to outcomes). Short contracts are preferred, with success-based reward models driving innovation and performance.
2. ScanControl Services (Parking Enforcement as a Service): Electric scan vehicles are deployed to municipalities for parking enforcement. Municipalities pay for the scanning service on a flexible, time-shared basis, avoiding the capital cost of owning a scan vehicle. This service includes automated enforcement, backoffice objection processing, and policy data advisory. The flexible model allows municipalities to scale usage up or down based on need.
3. Objection and Appeal Processing (Bezwaarschriften): Processing of objections and appeals against parking fines for municipalities. InPublic handles the full workflow including intake, review, decision, and data analysis. This generates service fees from municipalities for processed cases and contributes to policy advisory revenue through data insights.
4. Online Marketing for Parking Locations: SEO, SEA, content, and social media marketing services for parking operators and municipalities to increase visibility and attract more parkers. Services include search engine optimization, AdWords campaigns, content production, and social media management.
5. Parking Exploitation (Parkeerexploitatie): Full operational exploitation of parking facilities, including revenue optimization, cost reduction, and yield improvement. For example, at Parking Klercq in Alkmaar, InPublic achieved a 250% increase in parking results through tariff optimization, extended opening hours, remote management, and cashless systems. Revenue comes from a share of the managed parking revenue or performance-based fees.
