AI for Van and car hire

An independent hire firm earns money when vans are out and loses it at the counter, in damage arguments and in the post: fines with deadlines, invoices typed twice, vans that rarely leave the yard. Rental software takes bookings, deposits and signatures online and shows which vehicles pay their way, and photo and automation tools back up damage charges and fine deadlines. License checks, insurance and fair charges stay the hire firm's job.
