Client Overview
About the Project
Park AID is a peer-to-peer parking marketplace mobile app that connects vehicle owners looking for convenient, secure parking with space owners who have unused driveways, garages, or parking lots to rent out.
The platform turns idle parking spaces into income-generating assets for owners, while giving drivers a hassle-free alternative to circling for parking or relying on expensive commercial lots.
SaaSify Labs delivered Android app development and full backend for Park AID — built on Kotlin, PHP, MySQL, and AWS — shipping the platform in 4 months in 2021.
The Challenge
What Problem We Solved
Drivers in busy urban areas wasted significant time and money searching for parking — circling blocks, overpaying for commercial lots, or parking illegally — while nearby private driveways and garages sat empty with no way to monetize them.
There was no dedicated peer-to-peer parking platform that could match drivers with nearby private spots in real time, handle booking and payment securely, and give space owners a simple way to list and manage their availability.
What We Built
Core Features Delivered
Spot Search & Booking
Drivers search for available parking spots nearby and book them instantly through the app.
Space Listing Management
Space owners list their driveways, garages, or lots with availability windows and pricing.
Secure Payment Processing
In-app payment handling manages transactions between drivers and space owners securely.
Real-Time Location Mapping
A live map shows available spots nearby, making it easy to find and navigate to a booked space.

How We Built It
Our Development Process
Discovery & Marketplace Design
Mapped the two-sided parking marketplace — spot listing, search, booking, and payment — to design the core app flows.
UI/UX Design
Designed a simple, map-driven interface for both drivers searching for spots and owners managing listings.
Backend Development
Built the PHP/MySQL backend and RESTful API powering listings, bookings, and payments.
Android App Development
Built the Kotlin Android app with real-time map integration, spot search, booking, and payment flows.
QA & Launch
Tested the end-to-end booking and payment flow before deploying on AWS.
