KFC UK & Ireland sign Parking Management contract with Smart Parking

Smart Parking’s proprietary Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) is an ideal solution for managing a car park that experiences high volumes of vehicles, and this managed solution will ensure their car parks are being fairly used by genuine KFC customers. After a robust competitive process, Smart Parking were awarded the contract, and have been signed with the equity division of KFC who own and operate 50 of the 450 restaurants across the UK and Ireland – 13 of which are already in the delivery planning stage. The agreement has an initial term of three years, and also provides preferred supplier access to the vast franchisee network. Of the 450 restaurants, around 250 are ideally suited for ANPR managed services, and over time all other sites will be assessed for ANPR suitability. The primary technology solution that will be used in the contract will be our proprietary ANPR solution, however Smart Parking will also deploy our wider stack of technology including individual bay occupancy sensors, and SmartCloud – our online smart city management platform.
