Where they started
The automatic-only car rental branch relied on a plain email link for daily vehicle hire. Messages turned up with no shared format and rarely enough detail to reply in one attempt.

The engagement
Before the build
What kept going wrong
When it comes to daily vehicle hire, staff spent their first reply asking for information that should have arrived with the inquiry. Under pressure, that extra step became an overnight delay.
What we built
A structured form now captures pickup location, rental dates and vehicle class. Staff notifications arrive in one consistent layout with the inquiry type flagged, and the sender sees that the next step is an availability response from the hire desk.
