Why Parkify?

The application will make it easier for the drivers to find and pre-book their slots at the parking locations. The application will also save the frustration of the drivers who at times out of urgency park their cars on the street itself, which further adds to the traffic in the locality. With the use of the application, business professionals can focus on their daily tasks and not worry about their parking space.
