Case Study: Basel-Stadt Cantonal Police streamlines major event management with Hexagon

Basel-Stadt Cantonal Police Uses Major Incident and Event Solution for UEFA Europa League Final

The Basel-Stadt Cantonal Police in Switzerland faced the challenge of ensuring public safety for the 2016 UEFA Europa League final, a major event attracting 38,000 fans. To manage the complex planning and coordination required, they chose to upgrade their systems with major event management software from Hexagon.

Hexagon implemented a scalable, browser-based solution that simplified personnel and resource planning through customizable scenarios and an interactive operational picture. The deployment was a resounding success, significantly decreasing the organizational workload for operational management during the event. Hexagon's software provided such effective support that the police force is now implementing additional processes to visualize and manage all major events, with the tool also being adopted by other civil protection and rescue services.
