A key factor in the firm’s decision was the improved efficiency of the software, which improves the utilisation of existing pool vehicles and lowers the costs of the vehicle pool by more than 25% due to the use of an algorithm, according to fleetster owner Next Generation Mobility GmbH & Co KG. This is in addition to time savings when booking and administering pool vehicles. 

‘Atomic is highly demanding regarding their own products. They cannot waste time and resources on car booking or monthly reporting,’ said Next Generation Mobility CEO Tim Ruhoff. 

Another reason for choosing fleetster was that it is in a position to model the existing processes.

‘In the ERP-system fleetster bookings can be charged to different internal accounts. In addition, fleetster was successful in deploying the individual pricing structure of Atomic,’ said Florian Buchsteiner of Atomic Austria GmbH. ‘Normally the introduction of a new software is a big challenge for the whole organisation. In this respect fleetster is different, because it is very user-friendly.’ 

Fleetster also offers a modular structure, ensuring the functionality of traditional fleet management software packages, eg a reminder function for maintenance intervals, logbooks, and a regular driver’s licence check.

In addition, it has an automated analyses function, which calculates which share of all rides could have been done with electric cars. The usage of electrical vehicles can be optimised with fleetster by considering in the booking process recharging and actual driving distances.
