SHPV

What SHPV does

SHPV (Coöperatie Servicehuis Parkeren) is a Dutch cooperative founded in 2010 and based in Utrecht, owned by and operated for Dutch municipalities. It manages the Nationaal Parkeer Register (NPR), a national digital infrastructure developed and operated in partnership with RDW (the Netherlands Vehicle Authority) that registers parking and stay rights by license plate and provides the technical backbone for on-street parking, municipal garage parking, permits, exemptions, disabled parking rights, and environmental/zero-emission zones. The platform integrates with parking meters, mobile payment apps, ANPR enforcement cameras, and government registries (BRP, KvK) to enable digital enforcement, financial settlement, and open parking data for navigation and MaaS providers.

The organization serves two primary customer segments. Its municipal members (72 paying members out of 125 affiliated municipalities, including Amsterdam, Rotterdam, Den Haag, Utrecht, Eindhoven, and others) use the NPR for parking management and policy execution, paying annual membership fees. Its second segment comprises 15+ commercial parking app providers (Ease2pay, Easypark, Flitsmeister, ParkBee, Q-Park, Yellowbrick, and others) that integrate once with the NPR to gain practically nationwide coverage under a single contract, with SHPV handling financial settlement. SHPV also collaborates with the Ministry of Infrastructure and Waterstaat on national zero-emission zone policy and the Centraal Loket for ZE exemptions.

Revenue mechanics combine subscription/recurring membership fees from municipalities, transaction/managed-service fees from parking providers for integration and financial settlement, and value-added module fees for specialized services such as the Flexibele Parkeermachtiging Deelauto's (flexible car-sharing permits, piloted since November 2022), ParkerenPlus (disabled parking), digital exemptions (Conneqt City), and the Centraal Loket Zero Emissie (transferred to RDW in September 2025). The cooperative is governed by an Algemene Ledenvergadering (twice-yearly) and a Raad van Commissarissen of six municipal representatives, including a chairman (Jeroen Bruijns, alderman of Breda). The organization operates with a lean team of approximately six to seven staff plus governance overhead, holds a Privacy Audit Proof Keurmerk from NOREA, and is GDPR-compliant.

Revenue model

1. Municipal Membership and Service Fees: SHPV is a cooperative of municipalities. Participating municipalities pay membership fees and use the NPR infrastructure as part of their parking management. The cooperative's revenue supports platform operations, account management for municipalities, procurement coordination for parking providers, and innovation in the parking chain.
2. Transaction and Financial Settlement Services: SHPV handles the complete financial settlement of paid parking revenue and reimbursements to parking providers. This includes processing parking meter transactions and mobile payments, calculating differentiated parking tariffs, and distributing funds to relevant parties with appropriate accounting reports.
3. Parking Provider Onboarding and Volume Benefits: Parking providers pay to connect to the NPR, benefiting from administrative burden reduction and near-national coverage through a single contract. The consolidated volume of transactions across 100+ municipalities enables more favorable economics for providers.
