Horizon Parking Case Study

Synopsis

Horizon are a leading provider of Facilities Management (FM), Security, Traffic Management and Enforcement Services to the private sector, particularly at large supermarket chains across the UK, including high profile brands such as Tesco, Asda, and Sainsbury’s.

Sagoss has an established partnership with Horizon Parking. We have both actively collaborated on numerous projects together where the strength of each organisation can bring best value and success to customer projects.

Ensuring compliance, traffic flow and customer safeguarding are key priorities in maintaining success throughout a car park’s management lifecycle.

The Sagoss and Horizon partnership pursue data-driven feedback to further ensure value, exceptional customer satisfaction, and solution longevity from the investment.

Challenge

The Sagoss and Horizon partnership includes parking management for over 2,000 sites across the UK. The need to maintain traffic flow and customer satisfaction is imperative, especially during the course of systems testing, installation of hardware, and commissioning.

With such a large portfolio of car parks, the above statement is further amplified and as a result can cause challenges to keeping both traffic and revenue flowing at all times.

Sagoss has built a thorough delivery assurance and delivery framework that considers the key factors in formulating a solution.

Sagoss Solution

In order to ensure a smooth installation process, communication is key, and we work with our customers to ensure the correct due diligence is in implemented, allowing traffic to keep moving while installation is taking place. We usually achieve this by splitting entry/exit lanes so that there is an overlap from old and new system while the work is being carried out.
