Meeting daily vehicle needs with ease: John’s Story
Every day, John has different transportation needs for his tasks at the company. Depending on the day's agenda, John might need a compact car for city driving, a powerful vehicle for long-distance travel, or a larger van for transporting goods.
Previously, the absence of an efficient tracking system left John spending valuable time communicating with colleagues and management to identify and secure the right vehicle for his needs. The process was not only time-consuming but also prone to errors, as the available information on each car’s size, power, and transport capacity wasn't always accurate or readily accessible.
However, with the introduction of Shoppie integrated with Jira Service Management (JSM), John can now effortlessly view and select available cars that precisely meet his requirements for the day. The platform provides real-time information on each vehicle’s availability, size, power, and transport potential, allowing John to make decisions quickly without the need for back-and-forth communication. This streamlined approach not only saves time but also ensures that John and his colleagues can efficiently meet their transportation needs every day with the right vehicle.
Conclusion
Using the stock feature Shoppie revolutionizes inventory management in the car rental industry by utilizing the Assets attribute to efficiently track and manage available cars. The system provides real-time visibility into the inventory, helping managers like Alex make informed decisions, prevent overbooking, and enhance the overall customer experience.
