Where they started
A single shared mailbox caught every daily vehicle hire inquiry. Several staff dipped in when they could, and ownership of any given message was invisible.
Routing and handover
Ending the relay race in daily vehicle hire handling
When it comes to daily vehicle hire, the 'I thought you had it' conversation has been designed out. Each inquiry shows its owner, its status and its fallback, and anyone covering can see all three.

The engagement
Before the build
What kept going wrong
With daily vehicle hire, replies duplicated while neighbors went unanswered. Absence cover meant reconstructing each thread's history before daring to respond.
What we built
The intake workflow now gathers pickup location, rental dates and vehicle class, assigns a named owner to each request and keeps a simple status for follow-up. A designated backup picks up anything whose primary contact is away.

I can open the daily vehicle hire queue and see who owns what. That was impossible to say six months ago.
