The engagement
Before the build
What kept going wrong
When it comes to daily vehicle hire, the team could not prioritise what it could not parse. The first working hour went on assembling the queue instead of answering it.
What we built
The evening route gathers pickup location, rental dates and vehicle class, sets honest expectations about response times and describes the road to an availability response from the hire desk. Automated messages are labeled as exactly that.
