Bringing mobile data capture to Europcar’s international rental car fleet operation
Europcar is a well-known European vehicle rental company that operates in over 140 countries worldwide, offering a wide range of car and van rental options. With a fleet of over 200,000 vehicles, Europcar faces the challenge of efficiently managing its vehicle inventory across various locations.
The challenge of managing an international fleet
One of the major problems that Europcar faced was collecting and managing the vehicle identification number (VIN) and license plate information for their fleet. This was a manual process that required individual staff members to collect the information each time, which was both time-consuming and error-prone. With so much information to collect, mistakes were bound to happen, leading to inefficiencies and higher costs.
To overcome this challenge, Europcar has turned to Anyline, a leading mobile OCR (Optical Character Recognition) solution provider. Anyline’s mobile VIN and license plate scanning technology will allow Europcar staff to easily and quickly collect the required vehicle information from mobile phones, eliminating the need for manual data entry and minimizing errors.
Letting AI technology lend a helping hand
The Anyline solution works by scanning and extracting the VIN and license plate data in a matter of seconds using the camera of any mobile device. After being scanned, the information is then uploaded to the business’ database, where it can be quickly accessed and managed in real-time.
Europcar will be able to streamline their vehicle inventory management process by implementing Anyline’s mobile scanning technology, saving valuable time and resources while drastically reducing errors. This has resulted in improved efficiency and cost savings for the company.
