Certis Australia has announced a new strategic partnership with the Gold Coast Light Rail (GCLR), also known as ‘G:link’.
G:link, managed by Keolis Downer, Australia’s largest private provider of multi-modal public transport, is Queensland’s sole light rail network, and also the most vital transportation system for the Gold Coast community.
As a part of this partnership, Certis is set to conduct a holistic security risk review, identifying key security risks, and assisting G:link in reducing vulnerability to potential threats.
“Our partnership with G:link to elevate the security standards of their light rail transportation network
speaks to our commitment in providing safe and secure environments for the community and for our customer. We’re excited to be able to bring our integrated security approach to the only light rail system in Queensland.,”
said Steve Crews, Regional General Manager Queensland, Certis Australia.
Collaborating closely with G:link, Certis has deployed its innovative data-driven solutions including its flagship GPS-enabled Business Operations Support System (BOSS) to be used by all security guards for real-time incident reporting.
Additionally, Certis will leverage Near Field Communication (NFC) tagging capabilities in its operations, allowing security officers to report incidents such as damages or graffiti promptly by scanning tags placed on critical infrastructure.
Complementing these key innovation features is the powerful Certis custom dashboard with the ability to provide real-time monitoring of key metrics alongside data visualisation to enhance transparency.
“Keolis Downer is excited to have an experienced partner in Certis, that can deliver innovative technology, ensuring the safety of the community at all touch points in the customer’s journey. We’re impressed at the seamless integration
and the level of expertise the team at Certis have been able to provide to date” said George Davis, GM, Keolis Downer Gold Coast.
Collectively, Certis and Keolis Downer are proactively engaged in driving security through innovation and technological development to elevate the safety standard of public commute in Australia’s key transport networks.
