Managing a boat rental fleet requires balancing safety, efficiency, and customer satisfaction.
By adopting WAIV’s intelligent boat GPS tracker, EB Rentals transformed its operations, ensuring safer and more efficient navigation while providing an enhanced boating experience for its customers.
“With WAIV, our customers are safer on the water“, says Vadim Ariskin, manager at EB Rentals.
The Challenge: Navigating Boat Fleet Management Complexities
Before turning to WAIV, EB Rentals faced several operational hurdles:
- Restricted Area Violations: Customers would unintentionally steer into off-limits zones, creating safety risks and potential damage liabilities.
- Outdated Tracking Systems: Their previous boat tracking platform was unreliable, offering delayed updates and inaccurate location data.
- Operational Inefficiency: Monitoring multiple boats on a clunky system limited their ability to respond in real time to potential issues.
With customer safety and fleet efficiency as top priorities, EB Rental LTD needed a modern, reliable solution to address these challenges.
The WAIV Solution: Intelligent Boat GPS Tracking at Its Best
WAIV’s innovative boat tracking device offered EB Rentals an all-in-one solution to their challenges, delivering significant improvements
- Real-Time Monitoring: The live boat tracker enables EB Rental LTD to oversee their entire fleet on a single, intuitive platform. With real-time updates on boat locations, speeds, and routes, the team has complete control.
- Advanced Geofencing: Custom geofences define restricted zones, triggering alarms when boats enter these areas. These alerts, audible even over loud music or chatter, help customers quickly adjust their course.
- Enhanced Safety: By ensuring customers stay within safe boundaries, WAIV’s solution protects both the boaters and the fleet’s equipment.
Simplified Installation & Maintenance
EB Rental LTD appreciated the straightforward setup of WAIV’s boat GPS tracker. The device was easily integrated into their fleet:
“We decided to hardwire it in. The installation was simple, with just one screw for easy removal when needed.”
The compact design and minimal wiring made the device an ideal choice for their boats, preserving aesthetics and operational efficiency.
Boosting Customer Experiences with Smart Technology
For EB Rentals, creating memorable customer experiences is key to success.
WAIV’s solution supports this goal in several ways:
- Safe and Enjoyable Boating: With alarms guiding customers away from restricted areas, renters can focus on having fun without compromising safety.
- Comprehensive Route Tracking: The platform records routes, speeds, and timestamps, helping EB Rental LTD address any post-rental concerns, such as disputes over damages or navigation errors.
- User-Friendly Interface: Both desktop and mobile versions of the platform ensure that staff can easily monitor boats from the dock or on the move.
– “It’s a game-changer for us. The geofence alarms ensure that our renters stay safe while still having fun..”, Vadim Askirin
– “The user interface is great. It allows to see the boats in real time, and helps us determine exactly what happened if there is an incidence”
