At Hozah, we’re proud to work alongside trusted facilities and security management leaders who share our commitment to operational excellence and driver convenience. Securitas UK is one of those partners.
As one of the UK’s leading providers of integrated security and facilities services, Securitas UK manages complex environments where efficiency, safety and user experience must coexist seamlessly. Their Education division oversees operations at university campuses across the country, including the University of Hertfordshire, a major institution with thousands of staff, students and visitors travelling in and out daily.
The Challenge
For a university of this scale, managing parking effectively is a demanding task. Securitas needed a solution that could:
- Simplify parking for every driver, from students to visitors
- Reduce administrative work and eliminate manual processing for season tickets and Blue Badge concessions
- Maintain compliance and transparency, while removing friction from the parking process
That’s where Hozah Autopay came in.
A Fully Automated Solution
We worked closely with Securitas UK to deliver a system that removes the need for tickets, barriers or manual payments. Once drivers sign up for Autopay, they can simply arrive, park and leave, confident they’ll be charged the correct amount automatically.
The solution also manages season tickets and Blue Badge concessions seamlessly, ensuring eligible drivers receive the right benefits without manual checks or staff intervention.
By automating the entire process, Hozah enables Securitas teams on-site to focus on their core priorities, safety, service and efficiency, rather than handling parking administration.
What Securitas UK Said
Hozah’s Autopay solution is the perfect fit for the University of Hertfordshire. Staff, students, and visitors simply arrive, park, and leave, knowing that they will automatically be charged the correct amount without risking a parking charge notice. Once drivers have signed-up, they don’t have to do anything further in order to park at the university.
Hozah also has the perfect solution for Season tickets and Blue Badge holders who automatically receive the correct concession without manual work involved. The entire automated operation really cuts down on man hours and saves staff time from dealing with drivers.
The Results
With Hozah’s automated parking technology in place, Securitas UK has seen tangible benefits at the University of Hertfordshire:
- Reduced operational overhead and administrative time
- Improved compliance and transparency
- A smoother, more professional parking experience for every visitor
This project highlights the strength of partnership between Securitas UK and Hozah, combining cutting-edge automation with expert on-site management to deliver a truly seamless solution.
