Nobody Could Answer Basic Questions About Their Own Business

Car Amigo is a Spanish automotive business - they buy, maintain, rent out, and sell vehicles. But ask them a simple question: how much did each car actually cost? How much was invested in repairs? Which car is currently out on rental? Every answer required opening 4 different files and hoping the data was up to date. The team was burning ~20 hours per day on small operational tasks that should have been running automatically.

  • block

    No Fleet Management System

    No structured system for tracking vehicles. Purchase cost, maintenance history, rental periods, mileage - all scattered or missing entirely.

  • block

    Manual Everything

    Rental periods tracked manually - sometimes on paper. Maintenance reminders didn't exist. About 20 hours per day across the team consumed by small operational tasks.

  • block

    Zero Economic Visibility

    No way to see cost per vehicle, rental revenue, or ROI. Fleet economics completely invisible to management.

What We Built: One Database, Full Visibility

Sometimes the fix isn't AI or a fancy tool. It's just putting everything in one place and connecting the dots.

database

Structured Vehicle Database

Built a complete vehicle database in Airtable: purchase price, total investment cost, rental periods, mileage tracking. Data entry through forms - no more editing raw spreadsheets. Every car, every number, in one place.

Automated Maintenance & Rentals

Automated maintenance reminders - the system knows when each car needs service and alerts the team. Rental tracking with check-out, check-in, and automatic mileage recording. No more guessing which car is where.

insights

Fleet Economics Dashboard

Complete visibility into fleet economics for the first time: cost per vehicle, rental revenue, total ROI. Management could finally answer the questions that matter - and make decisions based on actual data.
