Nepos

What Nepos does

Nepos, operating commercially as CAME Nepos, is a Brazilian industrial automation company founded in 2006 and headquartered in São Paulo that specializes in parking automation systems. The company designs, manufactures, and integrates both proprietary hardware (automatic barriers in the GPX, GT4, GT8, and GB3750 lines; self-service payment terminals Fit, Full, and Dual Pay; computerized cashiers and portable validators) and proprietary software (the Luminus central management platform, with a Cloud variant) for parking operations across shopping centers, airports, supermarkets, hospitals, stadiums, corporate complexes, universities, and clubs. Two core technological lines anchor the offering: the Smart system using reusable NFC Mifare cards and the Codex system using disposable barcode tickets, both capable of offline operation to ensure transaction integrity during network failures. The installed base includes more than 15,000 equipment units controlling approximately 580,000 parking spaces and processing roughly 1.5 million vehicles daily across 600+ clients in Brazil, with international operations in Peru and Paraguay since 2019.

The business model combines one-time hardware sales, project design and installation services, recurring maintenance and support contracts (including a help desk operating 08:00 to 22:00 daily), and software subscriptions for the Luminus platform. Go-to-market is direct enterprise field sales via a sales team and regional support bases across six Brazilian states, with quote-based custom pricing and multi-year contracts. The company has layered modern capabilities onto the legacy parking stack, including license plate recognition (LPR), QR Code access, reservation systems (Pre-Booking), intelligent monitoring (Park Monitor), valet management, and integrations with Brazilian electronic payment operators (Sem Parar, Conectcar, Veloe), supermarket point-of-sale systems, university credential systems, and corporate ERPs/CRMs through a documented public API. Nepos is a privately held EIRELI under Brazilian law, operates under a CAME Group branding partnership established in 2019, and employs approximately 150 professionals across headquarters and regional offices.

Nepos has been actively investing in product innovation, launching at least seven new modules and terminals in 2025 alone (Dual Pay, Codex Lite, QR Code access, Pre-Booking, Park Monitor, Luminus Pass, Valet), positioning the company for incremental expansion within the Brazilian installed base and selective Latin American growth. Its competitive position rests on the combination of in-house hardware and software development, a deep reference base of large enterprise customers, and the operational data generated by processing 1.5 million daily vehicle transactions.

Direct peers

• Scheidt & Bachmann: German manufacturer of PARCS, parking guidance systems, and tolling solutions. Direct competitor serving the same enterprise verticals (shopping centers, airports, hospitals) with comparable hardware and software stacks.
• T2 Systems: North American PARCS and parking management software vendor. Comparable in offering integrated parking access hardware plus a central management platform (similar positioning to Luminus) for enterprise and university customers.
• SKIDATA: Global leader in Parking Access and Revenue Control Systems (PARCS), barriers, and ski-resort access solutions. Directly comparable to Nepos as both sell integrated hardware + software parking automation to enterprise customers (airports, shopping centers, stadiums).
• HUB Parking Technology: Italian-headquartered PARCS and parking guidance systems provider (part of the FAAC/Dorner Group, comparable in structure to CAME's relationship with Nepos). Directly competes for the same enterprise RFPs globally and in Latin America.
• ParkHelp: Parking guidance and access control systems provider active in Latin America. Overlaps with Nepos in shopping-center and airport segments, particularly in Brazilian and Latin American enterprise accounts.
• FlashParking: US-based parking technology company offering PARCS hardware (barriers, kiosks), LPR, and a cloud management platform. Closely comparable to Nepos on the cloud-software + hardware integration thesis.
• Q-Free: Norwegian-listed provider of parking and tolling solutions including PARCS hardware and central management software. Comparable to Nepos on integrated parking access + payment platforms serving municipalities and enterprise.

Broad incumbents

• INDIGO: Global parking operator (formerly Vinci Park) that also develops its own digital parking technology. A Nepos customer, but also a potential competitor as INDIGO sometimes standardizes on its own in-house or partner technology.
• Estapar: Brazil's largest parking operator (a Nepos customer), also investing in digital parking platforms. Comparable as a Brazilian parking ecosystem player that increasingly competes at the technology layer rather than only operating.

Regional players

• NorteCês: Brazilian regional parking equipment and automation provider. Comparable to Nepos as a domestic competitor targeting similar mid-market shopping centers and commercial garages in Brazil, though with narrower product breadth.
