What apparka does

apparka is Peru's largest parking operator and a vertically integrated parking technology and services platform. Founded in 1974 and headquartered in San Isidro, Lima, the company operates a network of 250+ parking facilities across eight Peruvian cities — Lima, Ica, Arequipa, Cusco, Piura, Cajamarca, and Pucallpa — with a reported headcount above 2,000 collaborators. The firm sits within AC Capitales, a private investment fund active in Peru for 17 years, and positions itself as the first ISO 9001:2015-certified parking operator in the country for complaint management.

The platform is built on a proprietary technology stack: apparka Net (in-house parking management software with ERP interface, electronic invoicing, and 24/7 internal development), a consumer mobile app available on Google Play, App Store, and Huawei AppGallery, the "En Una!" contactless entry/exit feature using LPR cameras, the ParkEyes guidance sensor system, and apparka Biz for B2B hour pre-sales. Exclusive representation agreements with five international parking equipment OEMs — Rodhe, Teratronik, Nepos, Kineo, and Magnetic Autocontrol — give apparka privileged hardware access, which is monetized through direct sale, operating lease, and rental alongside operations.

Revenue derives from ten identifiable streams: individual subscriptions (Abonado VIP/Flex), corporate subscriptions (Business Unlimited, Business, Flex, corporate agreements), hourly parking, B2B2C preventa de horas (hour pre-sales to partners such as Cineplanet, BCP, SANNA, and Osso), equipment hardware sale/lease/rent, advertising and brand activations (up to 3M monthly impressions), event parking services, outsourced parking facility administration, parking consulting, and land leasing for parking conversion under 2-4 year contracts. Customer mix spans individual vehicle owners (~50,000 app users, ~42,000 vehicles in network), corporate subscribers (~7,000 vehicles across banks, healthcare, education, retail), and enterprise venue operators across malls, airports, clinics, hotels, and event venues.
