If there is one element that reflects morethan any other the differentiation from other companies, innovation from a technological point of view, added value for the customer, which enables enhancement of customer loyalty, that’s the VIA T (OBE). Saba has been, since 2012, a pioneer in implementing this dynamic international payment system at car park entry and exit points , the same one currently operating on most motorways.
The VIA T (OBE) allows enter the car park easier and faster, driving in and out with no need of getting a ticket or stopping the car at neither entrance nor exit points, bypassing the ATM -offering the possibility of receiving an e-receipt via website- thereby saving time and fuel at the same time. Throughout 2014, Saba kept on implementing this electronic access and payment system, reaching a total of 4.4 million operations carried out in the company’s car park network. Currently, Saba continues to implement and consolidate the VIA T system in its entire network, as is the case with most of the company’s car parks in the capital of Chile, Santiago de Chile, using the TAG system -similar to VIA T-, with those of Italy and Portugal to follow, with the Telepass and Via Verde, respectively.
In 2014 we added a set of steps to our growth and efficiencymeasures to enhance restructuring and commercial pro-activeness especially in the digital area, as well as the drive to innovate, new products and the development of new technologies applicable to car parks. In 2015, we’ve already promoted new points in this field, such as the automation of discounts Renfe applies tocustomers at AVE stations in the first phase and others.
Bamsa is a public-private partnership that connects with Saba’s concessional nature and link to the territory.
The project enables designing a proposal for managing mobility in city centres, strengthening moreover the company’s future.
Saba’s proposal includes the management capacity in a network of city centre car parks, thereby reducing congestion and improving mobility, and providing more information and better access (VIA T), intermodality, quality service and sustainability.
In short, Saba wants to turn its car parks into a hub for services and a key element in the value chain of urban mobility, sustainability and traffic management. A car park of the future
