Smartrak is excited to announce a new enhancement to PoolCar, Smartrak’s flagship shared fleet management solution. Recurring Bookings has been enhanced to align with Smartrak’s focus on fit-for-purpose bookings in PoolCar’s Trip Planning interface. This enhancement is further streamlining the booking and fleet management process to promote better resource management and productivity, and more sustainable journeys.
Designed with both fleet managers and fleet drivers in mind, in PoolCar’s new intuitive and modern-looking Trip Planning view, the control of vehicle choice is back in the hands of Fleet Managers, eliminating end users from simply selecting a vehicle they ‘like’. Trip Planning’s bookings process guides the allocation of fit-for-purpose vehicles that align with individual and organisational needs.
“A fit-for-purpose approach underpins our commitment to sustainable fleet management, which is a central focus for both PoolCar and Smartrak,” says Casey Molloy, CEO of Smartrak.
When making a booking in Trip Planning view, users can specify preferences such as towbar, keyless entry, or 4x4 capabilities, guaranteeing they receive the most suitable vehicles for their needs. Additionally, fleet managers can prioritise electric vehicles (EVs) over internal combustion engine (ICE) options and manage fleets based on odometer readings, enhancing optimal usage for both users and managers.
These ongoing enhancements in Trip Planning view are enabling fleet managers to gain clearer insights into vehicle usage patterns, empowering them to make informed decisions regarding resource allocation and overall fleet efficiency.
Another feature is on the way for PoolCar’s Trip Planning view is Passenger Manifest. Passenger Manifest enables real-time tracking of passengers, improving safety and accountability, streamlining communication, and optimising resource management through accurate vehicle usage data. This feature will further contribute to fit-for-purpose journeys and be available by the end of 2024.
“Recurring bookings, Passenger Manifest and other future developments are yet more reasons for customers to migrate to Trip Planning. Trip Planning is the future of PoolCar’s experience for Fleet Managers and drivers.”
