An internal platform for fleet management, lift sharing and parking spots allocation made easy.
The problem
Everyone in the company were using a shared excel spreadsheet to control who used the parking space for a particular day as well as the trips between offices to share company cars.
Because this was so difficult to consult, update and maintain, not everyone was announcing parking space usage correctly and some cars were travelling empty between offices.
Solution
We created a platform were everyone could easily see vacant parking spaces and offer or request lifts between offices or even to other venues like conferences or the airport.
This is a single page application implemented in React that runs as a native app in mobile phones bypassing app stores and easily deployable on any server.
Fleet management doesn't need to be boring
Because this was an internal project, we allowed ourselves some experimentation with the UX and the animations, turning pain points into jokes.
Instead of making the UX all corporate and serious we wanted people to actually use the platform, so instead of using traditional lists we used eye candy to help sell underused entry cars that people used to avoid.

Because we're still not at a point where all the fleet is electric, we turned corporate fleet handling into a game where people would earn points by using smaller less poluting cars and those points could be used to unlock higher end cars.
Corporate lifts can be a social experience
Instead of being a burden for everyone to share a car for long journeys sometimes with people that didn't know each other, we wanted to transform the experience into someting a bit more social with a message board for everyone in the trip and the amount of CO2 saved by each additional passenger.
Lifts with more seats occupied could use higher end cars incentivising drivers to get more passangers, but lifts with more seats on lower end cars would earn more green points wich would help with the global scores on the green leaderboard.

Time to get your hands dirty, try it out!
Ok, so remote opening and starting a car didn't really happen, but a designer can dream, right?
