The two technology platforms join the easy family of brands, with plans to expand across Greece, Cyprus, Bulgaria and Romania.

easyGroup, owned by Sir Stelios Haji-Ioannou, and Greek technology company DOTSOFT S.A. have entered into a strategic partnership agreement covering easyParking and easyBin, two technology platforms providing digital solutions for parking and waste management.

Under the agreement, both platforms will become part of the easy family of brands, benefiting from the opportunity to expand under one of Europe’s most recognisable brands. The partnership covers four markets — Greece, Cyprus, Bulgaria and Romania — with DOTSOFT holding the exclusive licence to use the brands for the specified activities in these countries.

easyParking is a digital platform that enables municipalities, public sector organisations and concessionaires to manage parking operations and associated charges, both on public roads and in designated parking facilities. Delivered through a Software as a Service (SaaS) model, the platform integrates sensors, cameras, information displays and payment terminals with a centralised, cloud-based management system.

Similarly, easyBin applies the same model to municipal waste collection management, bringing together vehicle fleets, waste containers, collection teams and billing operations within a single integrated platform. Both platforms are also available to private sector customers.

Under the terms of the agreement, easyGroup grants DOTSOFT a 30-year licence to use the easyParking and easyBin brands, while the Greek company retains full ownership of its proprietary technology, software and know-how, as well as its existing contracts and customer base. Both platforms will also adopt easy’s distinctive corporate identity.

Sir Stelios Haji-Ioannou, creator and owner of the easy family of brands (www.easy.com and www.easyhistory.info), commented:
“I am particularly pleased to welcome Anastasios Manos and DOTSOFT to the easy family, together with their innovative technology platforms, easyParking and easyBin. Through this partnership, we are giving an ambitious Greek technology company the opportunity to grow by leveraging the easy brand. Simpler and more affordable technology solutions for parking and waste management are perfectly aligned with our philosophy of delivering real value to the many, not the few.”

Anastasios Manos, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of DOTSOFT, stated:
“We are proud that easyParking and easyBin are now becoming part of one of Europe’s most recognisable brands. This agreement provides our platforms with a strong brand identity across four markets, while the technology and know-how remain entirely with DOTSOFT. We look forward to developing our partnership with easyGroup and exploring new opportunities in other markets.”

The partnership also opens up opportunities for the development of new applications in the smart cities sector, as the two companies plan to explore the establishment of a joint venture under the name easyCity.ai.
