Renting a vehicle rather than buying one is a circular-economy lever in mobility: it lets more users share the same asset, maximising the resources consumed by each.

A good digital rental management tool makes the most of every vehicle: it raises effective use rates and tracks maintenance, as well as speeding up routine checks and paperwork.

Lexio is a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) platform for French vehicle-rental businesses. It provides a single digital platform covering online booking and planning, digital vehicle condition reports with e-signature, contracts, e-invoicing and Low-Emission Zone monitoring. 

It also optimises the utilisation of each vehicle: it tracks where the vehicle is and matches it with a rental request starting in that area. This reduces the number of empty journeys, cutting down on fuel wastage and unnecessary wear and tear.

Another feature is maintenance tracking. Lexio flags up when a given vehicle needs servicing, which keeps it in good working condition for longer. 

Altogether, this tool extends each vehicle's usable life and helps operators do more with fewer vehicles - the essence of resource efficiency and product-as-a-service in the automotive sector.
