Bristol Airport Partners with IDeaS to Optimise Parking Inventory
BRS Will Utilise IDeaS Car Park Revenue Management System to Improve Forecasting Capabilities and Automate Complex, Manual Processes
IDeaS Revenue Solutions, the world’s leading provider of revenue management software and services, will implement its Car Park Revenue Management System (CPRMS) at Bristol Airport (BRS) to optimise 17,000+ parking spaces.
Bristol Airport is located in South West England, eight miles south of the Bristol city centre, and handled over 8.9 million passengers in 2019.
- Product and Service Innovation – To keep pace with changes in mobility and meet consumer expectations, the airport is investing in data analytics to provide personalised products and maintain a positive parking experience.
- Optimal Toolset – While the airport considered business intelligence platforms that could be used to look backward and assess what could have been done differently, IDeaS’ predictive analytics and machine learning were selected to look forward—to provide a 365-day forecast that would ensure optimal use of all parking inventory.
- Mitigated Risk – As the airport’s pricing strategy has become more granular, traditional methods and spreadsheets have become too complicated for human analysis alone. An automated solution will also provide a safety net to protect the business in the event of staff turnover.
Tom Hack, head of commercial, Bristol Airport, said: “IDeaS understands our business and has demonstrated global success in airport parking. With our drivers at the steering wheel, IDeaS is the analytics engine that will enable us to be more effective with our parking inventory and overall revenue strategy.”
Guy Barnes, head of global sales, parking, IDeaS, said: “I am thrilled Bristol Airport has placed its confidence in partnering with IDeaS. More than providing a means to optimise space capacity, IDeaS’ solution will enable BRS to protect its important commercial asset, whilst grasping new opportunities and being able to better solve increasingly complex parking business challenges. As one the UK’s fastest growing airports, we are excited to play a key role in Bristol’s future successes.”
