At key Heathrow locations, winter access needs to support the movement of people and goods.

Daily reports and a recorded audit trail gave the client visibility of the work carried out.
Amazon logistics sites
OUTCO’s Amazon case study describes winter services across more than 900,000 m² of serviceable area. Dedicated operator teams and vehicles supported treatment of car parks, delivery areas, paths and entrances. Daily pre-service and post-service reports, alongside monthly activity reports, provided a way to oversee a geographically spread operation.
IKEA retail and logistics estate
OUTCO’s IKEA case study covers 29 sites across the UK and Ireland, including stores, logistics centres and offices. The service combined mechanical and manual gritting with snow clearance and treatment for external metal stairs. Daily and monthly reporting supported oversight across different property types.
