Sixt Rental Car

Industry: Car Rental | Customer: Sixt Rental Car | Location: Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, Atlanta, GA

Overview

As one of the world’s busiest airports, Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport sees millions of travelers passing through its gates each year. With such high foot traffic, rental car companies operating at the airport face the unique challenge of providing fast, reliable service while maintaining customer satisfaction. Sixt Rental Car, a global leader in car rentals, sought to improve the efficiency and functionality of its service counters to better accommodate the steady stream of customers.

To help streamline operations, Sixt partnered with Compulocks to implement the Grip and Dock Mount — an innovative solution designed to enhance service efficiency, provide security for in-store devices, and create a better user experience for both employees and customers.

Challenges

Sixt faced several operational challenges that impacted both staff efficiency and customer satisfaction:

1. High-Traffic Environment: The fast-paced nature of airport terminals meant that employees had to manage large volumes of customers, often simultaneously. Long wait times could lead to customer frustration and loss of business.
2. Limited Space: Rental counters at Hartsfield-Jackson are located in high-traffic areas with limited workspace. Sixt needed a solution that wouldn’t clutter the counter but would still allow employees to serve customers quickly and effectively.
3. Device Security: In such a bustling environment, devices used for customer service are frequently handled and at risk of damage or theft. A secure and durable solution was necessary to protect their investment in technology.
4. Staff Efficiency: Sixt employees required a tool that would allow them to move easily between customers, streamline processes, and ensure that they could handle multiple transactions without being tied down to a fixed terminal.

Solution

To meet these challenges, Sixt Rental Car implemented the Grip and Dock Mount, an ergonomic and secure docking solution for tablets and mobile devices. This innovative system offered multiple benefits, perfectly tailored to the airport environment and Sixt’s operational needs.

Key Features of the Grip and Dock Solution:

• Ergonomic Mobility: The Grip provides Sixt employees with the ability to hold and use tablets comfortably while moving between customers. The grip ensures that the device remains stable in hand, reducing the risk of drops or mishandling.
• Seamless Docking: When not in use, the Grip system quickly and easily docks the device, keeping it secure and protected at the counter. This dual functionality allowed Sixt staff to alternate between mobile use and docked use, creating a flexible workflow.
• Enhanced Security: With built-in locking mechanisms, the docked devices remain secure and protected from theft or tampering, offering peace of mind in the high-traffic airport environment.
• Space Efficiency: The compact design of the Grip and Dock system saves valuable counter space, ensuring that employees can work in an uncluttered, organized environment.
• Improved Customer Interaction: The mobility and accessibility of the tablet solution allowed Sixt staff to engage with customers more personally and efficiently. Rather than being restricted to one area, staff could move freely while interacting with travelers.

Results

Since deploying Compulocks’ Grip and Dock solution, Sixt Rental Car has seen significant improvements across multiple key areas:

1. Operational Efficiency:
   The ability to easily undock the tablet and serve customers while moving has greatly reduced wait times and allowed staff to process rentals more efficiently. Employees no longer feel restricted to a fixed service counter, resulting in a smoother and faster transaction process.
2. Customer Satisfaction:
   Travelers now enjoy a more interactive and streamlined experience. With shorter wait times and faster service, customer feedback has been overwhelmingly positive. This has also improved Sixt's reputation at the airport, further distinguishing them from competitors.
3. Staff Productivity:
   The ergonomic design of the Grip and Dock system has led to increased staff productivity, as employees can now multitask more effectively and reduce the physical strain that can come with handling devices for long periods. Employees have also reported feeling more in control of their workflow, which has positively impacted morale.
4. Device Security and Longevity:
   With the integrated security features, Sixt has seen a noticeable reduction in incidents of device theft and damage. The system has extended the life of their tablets, helping the company save on replacement costs and repairs.
5. Optimized Use of Space:
   The slim and compact design of the Grip and Dock system has maximized the available workspace at the counter, allowing Sixt to keep their service areas organized and clutter-free, even during peak travel times.
