QuickRent, a leading van rental provider in Switzerland, operates a growing fleet of transporter vans serving both individual customers and business clients. Founded in 2016, the company has built a reputation for convenience, flexibility, and reliability.
To support its growth and ensure seamless service, QuickRent powers its operations through a strong collaboration with the Zemtu mobility platform, a long-standing Lanterne partner, and recently began working with Lanterne to further optimise its operations.
Challenge: Expanding Fleet Operations Without Escalating Costs
As QuickRent expanded, managing vehicle utilisation and ensuring prompt responses to operational issues such as underutilised vehicles or misplaced vans became increasingly challenging. Timely maintenance, accurate parking, and battery charge monitoring are crucial for delivering quality service at scale.
Solution: Intelligent, Real-Time Fleet Coordination at Scale
With Lanterne’s intelligent fleet task assignment system, integrated seamlessly with INVERS telematics and the Zemtu mobility platform, QuickRent gains real-time insights into vehicle status. Lanterne monitors booking activity via Zemtu and immediately alerts QuickRent if a customer finishes a booking late or returns a van to an unexpected location. This allows QuickRent to react promptly, ensuring vehicles are ready and available for the next customer without delay.
This continuous, automated information flow significantly accelerates vehicle turnaround times and improves operational efficiency. Lanterne’s real-time notifications also help QuickRent maintain service quality by flagging vehicles parked outside designated bays and proactively monitoring battery levels to prevent disruptions. Additionally, Lanterne keeps track of which vehicles are active or inactive, ensuring that cleaning, charging, and maintenance tasks are assigned precisely to the right vans at the right time.
By synchronising closely with Zemtu, Lanterne empowers QuickRent to deliver a more reliable and responsive service, enhancing customer satisfaction and fleet performance.
We spoke with Ali Akdas, CEO of QuickRent, to learn more about the Lanterne impact.
Why did you decide to use Lanterne?
“We needed a smarter way to manage our growing fleet. Lanterne stood out because it helps us identify inefficiencies instantly. The real-time notifications are particularly helpful for ensuring that vans are parked correctly and ready to go. Another feature I really value is the ability to create custom tasks tailored to our fleet’s needs, including detailed checklists that guide our team through inspections and processes efficiently.”
What are the main benefits you’ve experienced since using Lanterne?
“Lanterne helps me watch my fleet more carefully, so that I know if something is wrong. We no longer have to guess where our vans are or worry about battery issues. Lanterne saves us time and allows our team to focus on what matters, serving our customers.”
