A car drops out at 7:40 a.m. What happens to its bookings?
Monday, 7:40 AM. A turn of the key, a sputter, then silence. The client is waiting. The car has more bookings waiting for it in the calendar. Pure panic starts.
Camasys ensures that if a vehicle unexpectedly goes out of service, the booking is automatically reassigned to another available car.
What manual juggling really costs
You hunt for a free car in the same class, rewrite the calendar and check the prep time. Every step is a chance for a typo – and the customer is waiting.
And when several bookings hang on that car, the dominoes keep falling all week.
How Camasys does it
Cars are assigned using rules for:
- Class – the customer gets the right vehicle category,
- Mileage – kilometres driven are taken into account,
- Location – where the car is and where the customer picks it up,
- Prep time – room between rentals for cleaning and checks.
The system also analyses vehicle demand and usage patterns, so the fleet works as hard as it should. When a car drops out, the planner shows gaps and conflicts at once and bookings move to another available vehicle.
You can also set conditions for when a customer learns that their order is ready.
Want to step in by hand? Drag and drop a booking on the timeline and filter by branch or class. The system handles the routine, the decision stays with you.
Bonus: an evenly worn fleet
Automatic selection gives you access to the newest, least-used cars.
It helps keep:
- the fleet evenly worn,
- cut maintenance costs,
- put customers in cars in top shape.
