Parking Panda Announces Latest Partnership Integration with Smart-Connection App Button
Baltimore, MD (PRWEB) September 10, 2015 -- Parking Panda, the nation's leading app for on-demand parking, has partnered with New York-based Button, the leading contextual commerce marketplace powering connections into the mobile app economy. The integration simplifies a consumer’s process of purchasing tickets and event parking, an in-app experience that is now available through Button’s matchup of Parking Panda and SquadUP, the next generation in event management and ticketing technology.
“Everything we build is built for our customers, including our partnership strategy. It was a natural next step in our company vision to work with Button and their partners," said Parking Panda Co-Founder and CEO Nick Miller. “Through this smart-connection mobile experience, SquadUP users can buy tickets to next week’s film festival and reserve parking in one place. Discovery, reservation, payments, and even access are moving toward this all-in-one, in-app user experience, and this partnership is just the beginning for making that happen for consumers.”
With just a few lines of code, Button was able to create a seamless customer experience when booking tickets, and parking for an event. Button’s proprietary plug and play platform provides the connective tissue between apps, opening up new channels of revenue and driving higher engagement with complementary contextual commerce experiences.
“Button’s contextual commerce marketplace opens up partnership and monetization opportunities that enhance app experiences," said Michael Jaconi, Co-Founder and CEO of Button. “We focus on building app connections that clearly drive value for consumers, and by providing one tap access to parking, this great event ticketing service has unlocked a compelling new feature users love that also drives revenue."
Consumers will be able to find, reserve, and pay for great event parking in hundreds of Parking Panda locations in more than 40 U.S. cities—all within SquadUP. Either when you RSVP to an event, or from the event page itself, you will be able to find and reserve a parking space with Parking Panda.
“SquadUP’s Parking Panda integration is another example of our commitment to giving users the best event experience possible,” said SquadUP CEO Willie Litvack. “Moving forward, we’ll continue to find ways for event attendees to save time, save money, and to get the most out of our mobile-first platform for ticketing and audience engagement. Keep an eye out for more announcements like these in the future.”
