Shift Car Rental launches smart delivery management system

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates, March 8, 2017

Shift Car Rental, a part of the AW Rostamani Group, was honored by RTA during the 9th Edition of the Dubai Award for Sustainable Transport (DAST). The award recognized Shift Car Rental for its innovative and smart delivery management system that was enabled through mobile application services.

Shift Car Rental successfully digitized its delivery management system using tablets that empowered drivers to log in to the application and enabled them to deliver a unique and enriching experience for customers. Utilizing the digital tablets, drivers were able to receive and deliver vehicles to customers in a convenient and effective manner and customers were able to provide online feedback instantly which enhanced the overall customer experience.

“AW Rostamani is fully committed to implementing the latest systems & technologies in the automotive industry. The Shift delivery management system is a pioneering solution that has been implemented for the first time in the car rental industry and has enhanced the overall efficiency of our operations.  Through the implementation of such innovative and smart practices we remain fully committed to Dubai Plan 2021’s aspiration in building a smart & sustainable city while delivering a positive impact to the community,” said Michel Ayat, CEO – AW Rostamani Automotive Group.

 “The technology that we developed for Shift Car Rental eliminates the amount of paper required in operations thus reducing our overall carbon footprint. Going forward we plan to extend this smart solution to our short term rentals of our business which will enable us to digitally check in and check out cars at multiple locations. This also creates a more efficient way of organizing our fleet of over 6,000 cars and more importantly, in delivering a more enriching experience to our customers backed by reliable service. AW Rostamani is aligned with UAE’s vision for happiness and Shift Car Rental is contributing to this vision by embracing technological innovation and delivering a superior customer experience,” said Ashish Nanda, Senior General Manager at Shift Car Rental.
