Overview

Enhancing Customer Convenience with 4G Taxi Freephone Solutions

WM Morrisons PLC is one of the UK’s largest supermarket chains, serving millions of customers across the country. With a focus on enhancing customer convenience, Morrisons sought an efficient solution for shoppers who rely on taxis for transport after visiting their stores.

Challenge

Providing a Reliable Taxi Freephone for Customers

Morrisons needed a secure, vandal-resistant taxi freephone that allowed customers to easily request a taxi at the press of a button. The system needed to be hands-free, simple to use, and highly durable to withstand high-traffic environments.

Implementing taxi freephones in public spaces offers numerous benefits. Businesses and public facilities can enhance user experience while supporting local transportation services.

Solution

Custom-Built Mobile Taxi Freephone

ControlFreq designed and supplied a wall-mounted, anti-vandal, hands-free taxi freephone, utilising 4G mobile audio technology to automatically connect customers to a contracted local taxi company for hands-free booking.

After deployment, Morrisons identified that the predominant user demographic preferred a traditional phone handset over a hands-free system. In response, ControlFreq developed a handset version of the freephone, providing an improved user experience tailored to customer needs.

This new handset-based taxi freephone has since been rolled out across Morrisons stores nationwide, offering a seamless, reliable, and customer-friendly transport solution.

Outcome

Streamlined Taxi Access & Revenue Generation

Morrisons successfully implemented 4G taxi freephone services across its stores, providing customers with seamless, on-demand taxi booking. The system also enables local taxi firms to bid for exclusive contracts, creating a new revenue stream through a profit-sharing agreement, generating significant annual income while enhancing customer convenience.
