How a car rental company evolved thanks to digital transformation.
“We had systems for everything… but nothing was connected.”
That was the starting point for a well-known national company dedicated to car rental services.
In this sector,speed and accuracy in operations are essential to deliver a seamless customer experience. However, for years their operations depended on disconnected tools: spreadsheets, independent software, and manual processes that led to errors, duplicated information, and operational delays.
The business was growing, but the processes were not. The consequences were clear:
📉 Administrative and financial errors.
📉 Poorly managed contracts.
📉 Customers frustrated by poorly coordinated deliveries.
📉 Excessive waiting times.
📉 Economic losses due to poor fleet management.
📉 Weak fraud and risk control.
It was time to transform operations
The Challenge: Scaling Without Losing Control
Their operational flow included reservations, quotes, contracts, vehicle delivery and return, automated charges, customer tracking, workshop management, and transfers. But everything was fragmented. Information didn’t flow between departments, and each system operated independently.
The Process: From Needs to Solution Design
Customer-focused
The project began with a deep diagnostic phase: interviews with users across all departments, real process reviews, and operational data analysis. The goal was clear: identify real pain points and prioritize critical features from day one.
Once needs were identified, the next step was to translate operations into digital processes, ensuring technology enhanced business logic instead of replacing it. This involved:
- Adapting procedures into digital flows, reducing risks, and saving time.
- Prototyping functional interfaces that made navigation easy and ensured each role had quick access to the right tools.
- Designing the UI to reflect the company’s identity and values, with visual consistency across modules.
- Validating user experience (UX) through early testing to guarantee intuitiveness, accessibility, and a reduced learning curve.
Each operational challenge became a key functional requirement. Examples include:
- Bulk vehicle upload control: downloadable history with date, user, and file to ensure traceability.
- Unified status management: centralized database with business rules to avoid conflicts between departments.
- Smart visualizations: dashboards that transform complex data into actionable insights for quick decision-making.
