Benefits
Using Legion software and services has brought the following benefits to our customers:
- Cost savings in many areas – ranging from reductions of bridge or walkway width, to the discovery that better design can increase capacity while at the same time reducing the facility footprint of a venue. Monetary gains have ranged between several hundred and several million pounds.
- Reduction of project and design timescales – typically, a Legion project helps to reduce planning time by 10% or more. This happens when a good solution is arrived at, or is recognised as such, more quickly.
- Regulatory approval – Legion simulations have supported many planning submissions and have even helped to avert legal action between two parties.
- Revenue enhancements – placing retail facilities can be a delicate process, especially if conflict arises between pressure groups. Outputs from Legion simulations have often pinpointed locations where revenues can be enhanced and conflict assuaged.
- Social benefits – it often only takes minor adjustments to operations or design to reduce waiting times and raise the comfort levels of people's journeys.
- Risk reduction – key metrics such as density and evacuation time are easily identified by Legion analyses. Simple changes in layout or operational plans can significantly improve key performance indicators, achieving a safer facility without notably increasing design or operating costs.
