Electro Car Rental Software Solution

In response to the growing demand for sustainable transportation solutions, Mifort embarked on a project to develop a cutting-edge rental electric car app. This application aimed to revolutionize the electric vehicle rental industry by incorporating advanced features such as a map of parking zones and charging stations, identity verification, remote vehicle unlocking, and complex pricing structures.

Over the course of 6 months, Mifort's team of 4 specialists dedicated their expertise and passion to bring this project to life. Their collective efforts resulted in a remarkable solution that offered significant benefits to both users and the environment.

Key achievements of the rental electric car app include improved trip planning capabilities, enhanced security through identity verification and integration with banking systems, seamless remote vehicle unlocking, and a transparent pricing structure tailored to location, duration, and charging types.

Let's explore how Mifort's rental electric car app has transformed the way people experience sustainable and convenient transportation.

Challenge

The web app for the back office streamlines charging station management integrates partner programs, facilitates marketing campaign management, enables customer communication, and automates support processes.

A landing page was created offering contact forms, a chatbot for assistance, and comprehensive information about our company and services.
