Local Car Hire Operator
Your Business
Many car rental operations begin small, surviving with manual processes or using different software packages to manage (separately):
- Reservations
- Fleet planning
- Vehicle records
- Rates and accounts
Often the use of standard office applications (MS Word, Excel, Sage, etc) is sufficient - up to a point!
That point is often the expansion of the business. This expansion is likely to be a factor of:
- Fleet growth - either in terms of volume of vehicles, or a more complex mix of vehicles
- Reservation volume growth - often as a result of new contracts won, new partnerships and successful sales and marketing activity
- Additional locations opening
In order to grow the business without adding human resource at the same rate, automation and integrated systems are a necessity.
How Thermeon can support your business
Eliminate manual processing - integrate rates, fleet, reservations and counter operations
- cars+ is a single system to manage fleet, rates, reservations, counter operations and accounting
- Eliminate the need for rental staff to complete Rental Agreements with information from rate cards, reservation information, fleet lists, etc. When all rental data is held in one system, there is no need to key in a single piece of data twice.
- Eliminate manual processing and you reduce errors (and the time wasted correcting those errors!)
