Project overview

Andersen’s customer, in this case, was a Nordic company focused on digitizing their local car rental business. Hence, they needed highly-qualified assistance to launch the IT product they had envisioned as a car rental platform consisting of a web admin part and a cross-platform mobile app for iOS and Android-based devices. With it at their disposal, end customers can rent a car at a certain moment, book a car in advance, select and filter cars by several parameters such as class, cost, size, fuel, location, etc.

The Andersen team developed a well-architectured serverless app following the best industry practices. The architecture itself consists of a front-end web application (CRM) and a mobile app interacting with a range of basical microservices. As an outcome, top-notch car rental capabilities are ensured. As for the Amazon Services used to deliver that IT project, they included S3, SQS, SNS, SES, RDS, CloudWatch, Lambda, API GW, Step Functions, CloudFront, Route 53, Elastic IP, SSM, ACM.

App functionality

The resulting mobile solution is very easy-to-use. All end clients need to do is install it, register with a phone number or any social media account, and add their ID and driving license info. After that, users can find the closest location and pick up a suitable car. Once the car is chosen, the user receives a password that allows them to open the vehicle via Bluetooth. Payment is conducted post-factum. Below is a more detailed and tech-oriented description of the project deliverables:

  • Mobile app (user management, keyless access to cars, etc.)
  • Analytics (gathering customers’ feedback)
  • Management panel (management of customers, stations, tasks, rental procedures, analytics, employees, etc.)
  • Integration of third-party components (i.e., AWS as cloud solutions, the Stripe payment system as a gateway for online payments, CSM devices for remote control, Helpshift for communication with end clients and FAQ, etc.).

Solution

As it is mentioned above, the IT solution delivered consists of a mobile application and its management panel. Both iOS and Android-based devices can use this convenient cross-platform mobile app so that their owners can enjoy the best possible user experience.
