Supermarkets

Whether you operate a large site or a smaller express store, supermarket car parks are frequently busy and prone to abuse. We’ve helped some of the UK’s biggest supermarkets, such as Aldi, Lidl and Asda maintain control over their car parks, generate revenue and improve customer experience. We do this by:

  • Deploying powerful technology to stop unauthorised parking and abuse
  • Monetising surplus bays to generate revenue
  • Developing a deeper understanding of customers & predict trends from ANPR data
  • Stopping overstaying to improve space turnover
  • Increasing footfall & in-store sales with pre-booking and EV

How can car parks support customers?

Supermarket car parks are some of the busiest in the UK. Millions of people use them each week when they shop, and businesses rely on them to support their customer experience and access to their services. But car parks can do so much more for a supermarket. We work with 5 of the UK’s 6 biggest supermarkets, helping to provide the solutions and support that drive stronger footfall, higher revenue, and a better customer experience.

How do you outshine your competitors and improve your customer experience?

Businesses compete to deliver the best possible services to their customers, but it’s important to not overlook, and even improve on, the basics.

Priority spaces on car parks, like parent and child spaces or blue badge bays, are frequently abused by drivers in a rush. Bay Enforcement retakes control of those key areas of your car park, protecting them and guaranteeing their use for legitimate users.

That same technology enables our powerful Click & Collect solution, when a vehicle arrives on-site ANPR registers the numberplate and lets your internal team know so they can efficiently deal with the customer. No extra waiting around, no additional steps, just a fast, impressive service.
