Parclick buys YesWePark and Parkings de Paris<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Last October \u00a0Parclick<\/a><\/span>the Spanish company specialising in online parking reservations, has acquired the French company ParkingsdeParis<\/a><\/span>the largest car park reservation centre in the city of Paris. This made it one of the European leaders in the online parking booking sector.<\/span><\/p>\n

And this week we learned of Parclick's second purchase in less than 6 months, YesWePark<\/a><\/span>. YesWePark is a Catalan company specialising in the design of hourly parking packages, tailor-made to be marketed as part of a leisure experience, such as a concert or a visit to the theatre.<\/span><\/p>\n

Parclick aims to be the European player of reference in the medium term and is therefore constantly monitoring its competitors and the new business models that are appearing on the market.<\/span><\/p>\n

According to Luis Paris, Co-founder and CEO of Parclick: \"The incorporation of YesWePark, one of the most interesting online parking operators in the Spanish market, allows Parclick not only to increase its offer but also to diversify it to reach a new type of public\". He adds: \"Both users and partners were looking for an affordable parking space rental service that they could integrate into their leisure offer. Now, thanks to the acquisition of YesWePark, Parclick can respond to this demand\".<\/span><\/p>\n

Percentile purchase Kirondo<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

In March<\/span> last year, Percentile, second-hand clothing e-commerce, I buy Kirondo<\/a><\/span> its German competitor.<\/span><\/p>\n

La compra de Kirondo.de, que es \u00abl\u00edder\u00bb en Alemania en este sector permiti\u00f3 a \u00a0Percentil posicionarse como la primera compa\u00f1\u00eda en tres de los mercados m\u00e1s grandes de Europa (Espa\u00f1a, Francia y Alemania) en compra-venta online de ropa casi nueva.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Percentil has also raised several rounds of funding, which has allowed it to grow and expand its business model, the last round it received was a \u20ac3M round in September 2015 of this year,\" says Diego Gutierrez of Percentil. Abra-Invest.<\/a><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Advantages of growth through acquisitions<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Although it is commonly thought that growth through mergers and acquisitions<\/a> es para mercados maduros, las mergers and acquisitions<\/a> tambi\u00e9n son una buena opci\u00f3n si se quiere crecer y ofrecer soluciones m\u00e1s innovadoras a nuestros clientes, sobre todo en el sector tecnol\u00f3gico.<\/span><\/p>\n

Por un lado, la mergers and acquisitions<\/a> nos permiten adquirir tecnolog\u00edas que no podemos desarrollar y que pueden tener bastante potencial en nuestro modelo de negocio. \u00a0Hemos sido testigo de que grandes empresas como Google<\/a><\/span> or Amazon<\/a> <\/span>in recent years have been on the hunt for specific technology companies that they have been incorporating into their business, such as Google's purchase of Quest Visual, a pioneer in augmented reality thanks to its Word Lens Translator application.<\/span><\/p>\n

In addition, according to Luis Par\u00eds, CEO of Parclick, the main advantage of growing through acquisitions is that it grows much faster<\/strong>, se puede llegar a nuevos clientes de forma m\u00e1s r\u00e1pida y ofrecer soluciones m\u00e1s adecuadas a sus necesidades. Cuando se levanta una ronda con un objetivo claro pueden pasar mil cosas hasta que uno llega a ese objetivo, sin embargo \u00a0cuando se crece mediante mergers and acquisitions<\/a>\u00a0 en realidad lo que se est\u00e1 comprando es facturaci\u00f3n y cuota de mercado.<\/span><\/p>\n

However, he also states that inorganic growth is not without risk and the main challenge he faces is how to integrate between two companies.<\/span>those and that both businesses will continue to grow.<\/p>\n
