The world of mobility has undoubtedly changed, and customers today demand a fully-digital, integrative solution for a range of common service issues. But while most mobility solution providers address niches of the mobility service sector, Agile Solutions offers a wide breadth of services for customers, including traditional car rentals at the counter and in-app peer-to-peer car sharing, using a single fleet on one unified platform.
With Smartcar’s car API, Agile Solutions streamlines contactless handout processes, fleet management, and logistics tracking. In this way, the company digitizes traditional car rental processes in order to expedite check-in, regardless if the customer prefers the counter to an application when picking up their rental. They’re making a traditionally slow digitization process a lot easier and more intuitive for car rental companies, leasing organizations, car dealerships, and fleet owners.
Moving at the speed of mobility
The rate at which new vehicle models are added to market is growing, with electric vehicles experiencing a 34% CAGR between 2015-2021. By 2025, the number of overall car models is expected to nearly double, with an average of 62 models per year coming to market.
While exciting, this presents a significant challenge to developers, who have to ensure compatibility with a large volume of new vehicles and car brands. Agile Solutions is all too familiar with this problem, and sought to find a solution that wouldn’t require a set of specialized skills to integrate, yet could move at the speed of the rapidly-changing automotive industry.
New [car] models are constantly being released, and we needed a platform that would support new models as they enter the market. We felt that Smartcar’s solution would continue to develop and evolve at the same pace as the mobility market.

Going hardware-free
Agile Solutions’ clients comprise of mobility service providers who want to build applications that enable contactless car rentals, but the company struggled with the complexities of hardware installation.
Like many players in this space, Agile Solutions built digital lockers and supplied in-vehicle hardware but continued to experience power usage challenges and complicated installations. If they were to modify the wiring in these vehicles, complex insurance issues would be triggered. This was a tipping point that showed Agile Solutions a critical need for software-based rental solutions in the market.
Through our partnership with Smartcar, we’re able to continue to provide our customers with the tools they need to offer modern and digitized mobility services of all types.
