For couriers working in urban environments, parking is one of the biggest bottlenecks during the workday. Food and grocery delivery service Wolt is constantly looking for ways to make everyday work easier for its courier partners and has now launched a collaboration with the parking app ParkMan. The aim of the partnership is to streamline deliveries in cities and reduce stress related to parking. The initiative covers an estimated 10,000 couriers in Finland and Denmark, where the collaboration has now been launched.
Making deliveries in city centers is fast, but efficiency is often slowed down by small, repeated delays. Finding a suitable parking spot, paying for parking and handling receipts all take time away from the deliveries themselves and add to the couriers’ workload. In collaboration with ParkMan, Wolt offers its courier partners ParkMan’s Premium account for businesses at a discounted price, allowing parking payments and management to be handled through a single mobile app.
“We are constantly looking for ways to make our courier partners’ workdays smoother. Parking in cities is often challenging and time-consuming. Our partnership with ParkMan is a concrete step toward more efficient and smoother parking in city centers, benefiting couriers and the wider urban environment,” says Joel Järvinen, Regional Head of Operations, North at Wolt.
“Couriers work in the heart of cities, where parking is often one of the biggest everyday challenges. When parking can be paid with a single click, more time is freed up for the actual work and moving around the city becomes easier. We are pleased to offer Wolt couriers a solution that reduces friction and makes their workday concretely easier,” says Lauri Miettinen, Marketing Manager at ParkMan.
At the core of the collaboration is ParkMan’s business account, which consolidates parking costs into a single invoice and removes the need for manual receipt handling. This saves time and reduces administrative work. At the same time, easy payment lowers the barrier to parking in accordance with traffic regulations, supporting smoother urban mobility.
