When it comes to access control systems, partnering with a business you can trust is essential. Inefficient services or low-quality products can lead to costly downtime, chaotic entry and exit points, and even security breaches.
At Parking Facilities, we understand there’s a lot at stake, and we continuously strive to elevate our operations and deliver top-tier services.
That’s why we’re thrilled to announce that all our hard work behind the scenes has paid off, and we’ve recently achieved the ISO 9001 accreditation.
In this blog, we’ll explain what this certification means for us, how it benefits our customers, and what we’re working towards next.
What is the ISO (International Standards Organisation) 9001 accreditation?
ISO 9001 is an internationally recognised standard for quality management systems. It outlines the criteria for a robust, customer-focused approach, ensuring that businesses consistently provide products and services that meet both regulatory requirements and customer expectations.
Achieving the ISO 9001 accreditation means that a company has put thorough processes in place to boost efficiency, reduce errors, and improve customer satisfaction.
How the PF team achieved the ISO 9001 accreditation
At Parking Facilities, achieving the ISO 9001 accreditation was a company-wide effort that involved every department. The project spanned from May to September and required a significant investment of internal resources. The accreditation process was carried out in two stages:
Stage 1 – Our newly developed systems and administrative processes received a thorough audit.
Stage 2 – This was followed by an on-site audit, where our entire operation was assessed to ensure our Quality Management Systems were being fully implemented and utilised in practice.
