Service matters

Managing a car park is challenging, especially when it’s in addition to the rest of your role. A car park on a large-scale site like a port is even more daunting, which is why Parkingeye were brought in to help take control and make life easier for the business, its staff, and their guests.

Originally the system in place wasn’t as seamless as Associated British Ports needed, which made maintaining the consistency they needed from their customer service more difficult. Their parking needed to change to meet client expectations, save time and deliver better service.

This was accomplished through a mixture of pay and display and permit systems being installed on-site. Adding effective control, seamless management and handing time back to busy teams.

    The impact of working with Parkingeye

    Adding ANPR and permits to the site has transformed how it operates. Providing greater control of the parking on the port and ensuring there’s enough space for staff, when even on a quiet day there can be 250+ people on-site, or peak days when cruise ships are mooring which can see tens of thousands of people moving through the port.

    In commercial areas like ports, it’s not uncommon to see parking spill into other areas, by taking control of the site and putting rules and effective systems in place we’re able to make sure that Associated British Ports always has space for their teams and that their sites are purely for their staff. This is vital due to the volume of people in the area.

    Permits provide a flexible and scalable way of managing parking, but also help sites to generate masses of useful data and information that can be used to guide decision- making and boost efficiency.

    Data is valuable, but having data and understanding it are very different things. This is where effective reporting comes in. We’re able to help our clients better understand and utilise their data through custom reporting. This cuts out noise, focuses on the information that matters and will be impactful and helps save time by removing the need to sift through masses of data.
