Interview with Florian De Sousa, hitech Sales Director

Interview with Florian De Sousa, Sales Director of hitech and its myrentcar vehicle rental software, compatible with Swikly.

Summary

Today, we have the privilege of speaking with Florian De Sousa, Sales Director at hitechsoftware, to discuss the integration between the myrentcar car rental software and the Swikly online bonding solution. 

This collaboration marks a turning point in vehicle rental management, offering efficiency and security to rental companies and fleet managers. Let's find out how this synergy between myrentcar and Swikly redefines industry standards and warranty management.

 

Florian, can you introduce yourself and myrentcar?

I'm Florian De Sousa, Sales Manager at hitechsoftware, publisher of vehicle rental management software. My role is to support rental companies in their digital transformation and overall performance improvement by proposing solutions that not only meet their current requirements, but also prepare them for future challenges.

Our myrentcar solution is a complete SaaS-based software package for vehicle rental management, enabling efficient management of scheduling, invoicing, fleet management and accounting. Designed to optimize operations and maximize profitability, myrentcar offers an intuitive, scalable user experience that can be fully customized and automated to meet the dynamic needs of the automotive sector.

 

How does Swikly's integration with myrentcar improve vehicle rental management?

We have integrated Swikly with our myrentcar software to improve vehicle rental management. Short-term rentals often involve complex logistics, with numerous stages in the customer's journey. The integration we've implemented helps to simplify the process, reduce waiting times at the counter and, above all, secure the risk for both the rental company and the customer.

The synergy between our solutions reduces the tension around the claims issue and refocuses the rental company on higher value-added tasks. In short, it's all part of improving the overall experience of a rental agency and its customers.

 

What were the main challenges in integrating Swikly into myrentcar?

Ahere were no insurmountable challenges in integrating Swikly into myrentcar. We have listened to our users and built an integration that responds to a key business case, enabling our customers to quickly benefit from the full added value of our integrated products. 

The challenge now is to continue to develop the scope of our integration in line with general market expectations. We are therefore attentive to feedback from our users, as is the case for all other product development topics.

 

Which myrentcar features stand out thanks to integration with Swikly?

In concrete terms, the myrentcar functionalities highlighted by our partnership are the automated dispatch of e-mails which, for each new reservation created in myrentcar, send a pre-configured message to the customer containing the link for securely depositing the deposit.

Deposit amounts are configured directly in myrentcar, and once the amount has been paid via Swikly, the payment is automatically integrated into the reservation. As a result, no manual intervention is required by the myrentcar software user, thanks to a fully automated API process.

 

What impact has the integration of Swikly with myrentcar had at hitech?

Each new integration into our myrentcar management software strengthens our position as a leading player. All the more so when it comes to solutions that have had a particularly positive impact on the rental market. 

We lend credibility to our approach as experts in the market by recommending the use of Swikly, which meets a real need in the field, namely to secure rental risks. What's more, the cross-learning and exchange of best practices with a partner operating in the same market is enriching for both our technical and sales teams.

 

How will the relationship between hitech and Swikly evolve in the future?

Having successfully completed our first deployments, we're now looking forward to bringing our partnership to life with larger account sizes. The first requests for upgrades have already been received, so we expect to expand the scope of our integration in the future. Generally speaking, we want to capitalize on our developments and efforts by making our integrations available to as many people as possible, to ensure their longevity over time.
