Alan Lazowski, Chairman and CEO of LAZ Parking announced today, LAZ PreScreen, a new venture in partnership with three industry leaders. LAZ PreScreen will help safely and efficiently re-open their facilities while protecting customers, clients and employees from the continued threat of COVID-19.
“As we begin to emerge from the pandemic, screening for potential risks is critical to safely reopening the economy,” said Alan Lazowski, Chairman and CEO of LAZ Parking. “The health and safety of our customers, clients and employees across our 3,100 locations and 423 cities is, and always will be, our highest priority. By partnering with Parsons and Vizsafe, we are able to provide best-in-class capabilities to meet our immediate needs, while developing a sustainable program to strengthen health, safety and security across all of our sites.”
Parsons developed the DetectWise suite of solutions in May 2020 to help society reopen while protecting the health, safety and security of global citizens. The solution being used with LAZ is powered by Vizsafe’s patented Geoaware® technology platform and screening kiosks, which address the critical health, safety and security issues presented by the COVID-19 pandemic. DetectWise is an integrated, touchless offering that monitors real-time health symptoms and facilitate the safe movement of people in public areas. The touchless kiosks and biometric screeners assess health indicators of individuals to minimize the risk of disease spread and maximize safety and can easily be installed in any high-traffic area.
“Transitioning to the new normal requires a collective partnership, collaboration and innovation that’s been embodied in this screening program,” said Carey Smith, President and Chief Operating Officer of Parsons. “Partnering with LAZ Parking and Vizsafe to further enhance our DetectWise suite of solutions will contribute to the health and peace of mind of employees returning to the office and help the world open quickly, but safely.”
Vizsafe provides the most powerful and comprehensive solutions available to immediately assist organizations in their plans to re-open after the global lockdown, added Peter Mottur, President and CEO of Vizsafe. “We are honored to support both Parsons Corporation and LAZ Parking, two of the country’s largest companies working on the front line to help America get back to work.”
