Case Study
CYCLE STORES – NOTTINGHAM CITY COUNCIL
Nottingham City Council has introduced an initiative
focusing on getting residents to switch to cycling as opposed
to driving. This in turn means that they require cyclists
to be able to secure their cycles with peace of mind. So,
in conjunction with VOLO’s partner Oracle Surveillance,
a secure storage area has been created which requires a
swipe card to gain access. VOLO ensured that the system
could work in conjunction with the city’s ITSO card scheme
that was already in operation for other aspects of the
city, providing a one card solution and assisting with the
management of costs.
DISTRIBUTION OUTLETS – YODEL
Yodel value the relationship they have with VOLO and enjoy
working with them as a manufacturer. They also have a
great relationship with Gunnebo as our approved installation
partner. They had a list of requirements which they shared
with VOLO and Gunnebo, who, in the meantime listened
to the challenges they were facing and offered a bespoke
solution. They have since met on a regular basis to discuss
the solutions’ progress and the new challenges facing Yodel
in their business. VOLO’s technology allows the flexibility
Yodel are after and allows for movement in terms of product
development. As they did not want to work around a set
system with closed protocols and network restrictions VOLO
is perfectly suited to their needs. Yodel currently have a total
of 18 sites with more to go.

- A future proof system that can grow with Yodel and adapt to their ever changing needs
- Centralised control of depots from a main security office at all times
- Live time reporting on what is happening with depots across the UK and also event/alarm notification
- Depot Managers can issue access credentials immediately (as there are lots of temporary drivers who need new credentials in a timely manner)
- Alarm notification of events e.g. if a driver tries to access whereby they do not have access rights
- A notification at both depot and head office level if secure areas are left open (dual recording, which the cloud is ideal for)
- The ability to retain existing access control credentials and readers to keep cost of refurbishment down
ST JOHN’S AMBULANCE
St John’s Ambulance required centralised control of their 20
remote community centres in the North West Region. They
needed to enforce a better control of usage of their remote
centres to ensure the relevant personnel were gaining
access on the allocated days and times per week. By using VOLO they can:
- Remote issuance of access codes for each site
- Remote control of the flow of users to ensure they were only using the centres at relevant times (reduce subletting, stopping abuse of overusing times)
- Full audit trail of users of when they accessed the relevant centres
- Event/Alarm notifications of users trying to gain access when they were not allocated to do so
LOCAL AUTHORITY ORGANISATION - WIGAN & LEIGH HOMES
Wigan & Leigh Homes wished for a uniformed system which
allowed them to have additional features and benefits, as
well as centralised control. They needed this within a cost
that was manageable. By using VOLO they can:
- Retain existing access control readers and credentials to help manage and minimise cost
- Have full confidence in the security levels offered to protect their user and site data (Amazon Web Services Cloud Provision)
- Utilise additional features such as GSM/GPRS Monitoring and Reporting to allow them to know how well the control units are performing in different areas around the borough and to offer peace of mind of optimum uptime and stability of the solution
- Proactively plan interventions and turn their services from a reactive to a proactive service in terms of events. This is achieved by making use of our full reporting suite.
