Ronny Grau, parking and mobility director, Zurich Airport, said: “While overall commercial performance at Zurich Airport has been good, IDeaS CPRMS will help us to grow our pre-booked parking business faster. As we begin the next phase of our revenue management journey, we are confident that investing in more sophisticated technology will drive better revenues by forecasting and optimizing demand across our car parks in a way we never could before.”

Guy Barnes, head of global sales, parking, IDeaS, said: “We see growing recognition by airports that investing in a revenue management solution is necessary to realize the next level in revenue growth from their parking operations.

MINNEAPOLIS, MN—February 12, 2019—With passenger numbers exceeding 12.8 million in 2018, Raleigh-Durham International Airport (RDU)is the primary anchor for the popular Research Triangle destinationof North Carolina. As the next step in its Parking Transformation Program, the Raleigh-Durham Airport Authority has partnered with IDeaS Revenue Solutions, the global leader in revenue management, to create a better parking experience and optimize space utilization.

 

The partnership aims to enhance RDU guests’ parking experience and returns from the airport’s 18,830 parking spaces—the largest source of revenue for the airport. IDeaS Car Park Revenue Management System (RMS)is a cloud-based forecasting and pricing solution that uses advanced SAS®analytics, artificial intelligence and deep machine-learning to deliver optimal demand-based, dynamic pricing decisions fueled by a 365-day future view of parking demand.

 

  • Focus on passenger experience –RDU aims to further transform its customers’ parking experience by changing the dialogue around parking to one of added value, ease and economy. IDeaS Car Park RMS is a complement to the ParkRDU parking reservation system it soft-launched in mid-2018 and will enable RDU to sell the right product, to the right customer, at the right price, at the right time.
  • Airport parking in a sharing economy–It’s no secret one of the biggest challenges facing airport parking—including at RDU—is competition. To effectively compete, RDU aims to address the experience, convenience and value of parking over other modes of transportation. It is seeking to be competitively affordable for ParkRDU consumers.
  • A partner they can trust –Mindful of potential pitfalls when implementing new technology, RDU identified IDeaS Revenue Solutions as the right business partner because of its 30 years of revenue management experience—including an extensive list of airport parking clients—its industry-leading analytics and robust dynamic pricing tools, and its integrations with RDU’s other parking suppliers.

 

Michael Landguth, president and CEO of Raleigh-Durham Airport Authority, said:“IDeaS has the technology and expertise necessary to help us make informed decisions, shaping more effective marketing strategies, sales programs and overall airport parking revenue management. We are fortunate to have a renowned data-analytics partner right here in the Research Triangle.”

 

Guy Barnes, head of global sales, parking, IDeaS, said: “While the concept of demand-based dynamic pricing in the wider travel industry is not new, RDU is one of the first airports in the U.S. to further invest in its future by transforming its commercial strategy for parking. IDeaS is extremely excited to be a partner in its journey to drive new levels of revenue performance while continuing to improve customer experience.”

Tweet this: @Avinor @Oslolufthavn Airport has made the strategic move to transform its #ParkingRevenue and improve traveler experience with @IDeaS_RevOpt #CarParkRMS www.ideas.com/news

 

LONDON – With close to 30 million travelers annually, Oslo Airport is a major hub in the European airport network. A strategic move to grow non-aeronautical revenues through parking revealed an immediate and significant opportunity. Avinor partnered with IDeaS Revenue Solutions to optimise revenue growth for its 11 car parks and more than 20,000 parking spaces at Oslo Airport. This strategy will create a better experience for the growing number of travelers, and customers will receive more dynamic pricing on Avinor’s pre-book solution, with prices regulated based on actual demand.

 

“In an increasingly complex ground transportation environment, we recognised that, while we have done a good job to date, investing in analytics to better understand and price the demand for our car park business would enable us to truly optimise our parking inventory. It would also create a better customer experience for the growing number of travelers looking to pre-book online,” said Amy-Caroline Løken, Category Manager for Avinor. “We’re truly excited to partner with IDeaS. The company will not only give us a system to automate pricing updates to our selling systems, but also will guide us through the journey given their extensive expertise in airport parking revenue management.”

 

IDeaS Car Park Revenue Management System empowers airport commercial and parking managers to automate revenue management and price distribution, leveraging best-in-class SAS® Analytics and easy-to-use data visualisations and interactive dashboards. The web-based, self-learning tool dynamically forecasts parking demand, enabling optimal pricing decisions to be set over a full booking window so travelers are accurately charged according to demand and parking revenues are optimised.

 

“One of the best ways airports can manage a correct pricing system is through applying automated revenue management to their parking assets. Moving from manual or less sophisticated pricing decision-making to a data-driven environment delivers significant revenue growth to an area that typically delivers the greatest EBITDA for airports,” said Guy Barnes, Director of Strategic Accounts for IDeaS. “We’re hugely excited to partner with Avinor and Oslo Airport, and we look forward to working with the team to provide increased control in driving performance.”
