Streamlining Data Accuracy: A Success Story in Fleet Management Testing

Distinguishing Client VIN Highlights and Resolving Data Anomalies Through Streamlined Processes

Organization

XTIVIA’s client is an international car rental and fleet-management service that has served millions of customers annually with five million vehicles in more than 15,900 global locations throughout the past five years. To streamline operational and financial risks across a diverse portfolio of locations and vehicles, the company licenses its brand to approximately 60 international franchise partners. Additionally, the client serves “insurance replacements” for insurance companies such as Allstate and State Farm to a wide range of corporate customers.

Challenge
