Our client, a prominent German automotive company, sought to enhance their car rental management system by introducing a mobile application. While they already operated a web-based car rental management portal, their primary objective was to improve operational efficiency and flexibility by transitioning select portal functionalities into a mobile app.
Upon a comprehensive evaluation of the client's requirements, two primary development options emerged:

Our dedicated team embarked on the project with a clear vision of the client's goals. However, a significant challenge arose during the integration of Microsoft-based user authentication. React Native lacked a direct library for this purpose. Fortunately, our team devised an ingenious workaround by leveraging Microsoft's native code.
The resulting mobile application offered a range of features, including:

This page allowed users to see a comprehensive list of cars associated with their account, complete with their respective statuses, such as active, inactive, or in use.
The "Aufgaben" page presented users with a consolidated view of all tasks assigned to them. Tasks spanned various types, including technical inspections (Hauptuntersuchung), UVV inspections (instruction on trade association regulations on safety and health protection), general tasks (e.g., buying coffee for the manager), repair approvals, lease returns, lease extensions, and vehicle return checklists. Tasks were categorized by status, including open, in progress, completed, canceled, and postponed.
The "Kontakt" page offered users a convenient means to contact customer support and access crucial contract-related documents.
In addition to the successful transfer of portal functionalities, several innovative features were implemented:
In conclusion, the recently launched mobile application has revolutionized the car rental management service, especially benefiting drivers. Not only has it optimized operational prowess, but it has also paved the way for targeted marketing strategies and enhanced user allegiance. With over 1,800 users swiftly adopting the application, its user-centric design and proficiency are evident. This widespread adoption highlights the app's transformative impact on the car rental sector, reaffirming its potential in boosting efficiency, customer gratification, and laying a robust foundation for prospective revenue expansion.
