FAQ
Who can use pumba?
Currently the app aims to serve only the local residents, each user can only search for parking nearby home address.
How does it actually work?
Pumba app provides the driver with a comprehensive parking search experience, from the moment the driver is approaching home, until the driver finds an on-street parking spot. The app is based on hundreds of parking sensors deployed on residential apartments. The driver needs to click only one button and from this moment on – the sensors start working and search for available spots.Â
The moment a spot becomes available, the app notifies the driver and provides navigating instructions. Even if a spot was caught by another random driver, the app will notify about that while providing an alternative parking spot.
Where does it work?
These are the areas we are working in today, and we are growing!
But a spot is caught in seconds, how can it still help me?
Pumba can’t ensure a spot and can’t save it for the driver. Pumba makes sure to suggest only relevant spots – in a distance of 3-4 minutes of driving, which significantly improves the chances of catching it. The app accompanies the driver through the entire searching experience and if the spot is taken before one reaches it, the app will quickly notify the driver and suggest a different spot. Pumba provides the value of certainty and reduces frustration. There is no doubt whether turning left or right is the best option.
Pumba’s drivers are aware of the occupancy status of all surrounding parking spots.
About the sensor
Pumba uses high-end and reliable technology in a weather-resistant sealed case. The sensor is connected to the power supply with a tiny cable. The sensor is placed outside the apartment – on a balcony or a window by a cable tie. No drilling or screwing is needed!
Is there any radiation to the sensor?
Our sensor system is not dangerous at all, using only wifi and cellular communication which complies with global standards.
Do you know how to find a spot that fits my car size?
Pumba classifies the parking spot size. Pumba will inform only about parking spot sizes that fit your car.

Functionality
How do I check if the parking is suitable for my car?
You can enter the size of the vehicle in the app, but despite this, you will be presented with parking spaces of all sizes regardless of the size of your vehicle. We plan that later on any parking that appears in the app will be suitable for the size of the vehicle you have entered, but this may take some time.
Until then, when the app offers a parking address, you can see a GIF that displays the parking space itself by clicking on the address. It is recommended to use the GIF to check in advance whether the parking space matches the size of your vehicle or not.
When you click on the GIF, the image becomes bigger and thus you can better understand the size of the parking.
