LocoMobi is the result of a recent merger between QuickPay and Nautical Technologies. QuickPay provides users a unified mobile payment application that works across all types of parking environments and scenarios. Nautical Technologies was the very first company to offer a cloud-based license plate recognition (LPR) system with a complete revenue engine that also provides a management system for virtual permitting systems, violation and citation management. With these two innovators merging into one company we can now offer a full and ideal parking solution by combining the best integrated parking systems. | $5.5M / Series A / Dec 01, 2013 | |
