LARGEST INTERNATIONAL FLEET ENRICHED WITH VEHICLE MDM

ORGANIZATION

XTIVIA’s client is an international car rental and fleet-management service that has served millions of customers annually, providing 5,000,000 vehicles over the past five years across more than 15,900 global locations. To simplify the operational and financial risks associated with such an extensive network of locations and vehicles, the company licenses its brand to approximately 60 international franchises. Additionally, the client supports insurance replacement services—partnering with insurance companies such as Allstate and State Farm—while also catering to a wide range of corporate customers.

CHALLENGE

With a vision to innovate and modernize outdated operating systems that inhibited business initiatives, XTIVIA’s client embarked on a comprehensive corporate technology transformation. Specifically, their 25-year-old legacy platforms required updates and changes across 18 systems spanning six different database vendors. Severely constrained by the inflexibility of these legacy systems, the client needed an experienced partner to organize critical corporate entities, such as vehicle assets and VINs (Vehicle Identification Numbers), into a master data strategy.

Additionally, the client aimed to centralize historical records of 5 million vehicles over five years and achieve cross-departmental consensus on common business parameters and brands to create a unified master record.

TECHNICAL SOLUTION

After partnering with XTIVIA, the client’s data was updated and organized using specific Enterprise Integration Management (EIM) services that produced:

• Specifications for data owner and approval.
• Configuration of Informatica data loads and data quality improvements.
• Trusted versions of customer, location, and vehicle entities.
• Sanctioned delivery of corporate assets to any existing or new service.
• Custom development of data records.
• Cloud architecture and implementations.

Equipped with XTIVIA’s EIM tools, the client is now able to:

• Manage and deliver data integration solutions using a Data Factory approach and adoption of best practices.
• Leverage MuleSoft integrations, which were recognized with the 2018 ‘Tech Innovator Award’ at MuleSoft Connect.

BUSINESS RESULT

XTIVIA delivered a Vehicle Master that unified historical records of owned, leased, and licensed vehicles spanning the past 18 years, which were previously scattered across four different source systems. Through a strong partnership between seasoned business and technical leaders, XTIVIA provided clear data and authenticated insights that resulted in improved asset management, enhanced customer satisfaction, and a potential annual revenue increase of $7–10 million.

Additionally, XTIVIA’s experienced experts:

• Created a Vehicle Master Data Management system, serving as the single source of truth for purified vehicle information required for the New Enterprise Asset Management solution.
• Implemented unique data cleansing strategies by sourcing data from Chrome services and performing data blending.
  Enabled the client to accurately price, market, and service fleet vehicles, potentially improving corporate income by $10 million.
• Delivered reference information sourced from third-party services (e.g., ISO, OAG, and ACRISS), now governed by supportive steering committees with leaders from the client’s business units and teams.
• Published high-volume tables to a COSMOS data store, enabling real-time access and integration services for communication between enterprise systems.
