What Is a KSO Scheme in a Parking Context
In a KSO (joint operation) scheme, Digipark provides all the hardware, software, and maintenance, while the property owner provides the location. Parking revenue is then split according to an agreed share.
This model removes the biggest barrier to parking modernization: upfront capital spending on barrier gates, cameras, servers, and bank integration.
When KSO Makes More Sense Than an Outright Purchase
KSO converts equipment cost into an operational revenue share that follows actual income, shifts technology risk to the operator, and benefits both parties once vehicle volume is high enough for economies of scale.
Points That Need to Be Clarified in the Contract
The partnership duration, the mechanism for adjusting the revenue-share portion, the equipment repair SLA, and termination scenarios should all be stated explicitly — including equipment ownership at the end of the contract term.
