The Challenge: Stuck in a Manual, Outdated System
GForce Car & Truck Rental, operating in Toronto, Scarborough, and Pickering with a fleet of 161 vehicles, had been relying on an outdated setup to manage their operations. While it worked for basic rentals, the system quickly became a bottleneck:
- Not user-friendly: Staff struggled with clunky interfaces and slow workflows.
- Highly manual processes: Almost every step, from customer entry to invoicing, required hands-on work.
- No damage inspection feature: Tracking vehicle condition was error-prone and time-consuming.
- No integrated website: Customers could not book online, limiting reach and revenue potential.
- Slow customer support: Getting help often took weeks.
"We were wasting hours every day on manual entry, chasing payments, and verifying vehicle condition. And when we needed help, it could take weeks just to get a response," said Jay, Director of GForce.
