County of Ventura
Coprorate Carsharing in California
Government organizations are multi-faceted, making efficiency and seamlessness even more important in the day-to-day operations. At the County of Ventura, the offices are spread throughout the city. Employees may have different needs depending on where they are located. With a motor pool operation, the County of Ventura needs to make sure their cars are running for everyone across the county all the time.
Complex Need, Simple Solution
Technology is an investment that needs to provide substantial value. INVERS was ready to give the County of Ventura this proposition. As a large and growing county, the team at the County of Ventura was looking for a dynamic solution. The new solution had to fulfill their fleet needs across their different locations and departments. The County of Ventura wanted to manage the vehicles and users at all the locations under one system.
By using the INVERS KeyManager and StandAlone system, the County of Ventura took under-utilized vehicles and placed them in a shared motor pool. This pool is accessible to over thousands of employees. Having the different hardware options was cost-effective for the County. It helped them realize potential growth opportunities with their motor pool operations.
Fleet Scalability
The County of Ventura opted for two different hardware options to meet the different needs of their various locations. This flexibility allowed them to offer the corporate carsharing across the County, as they weren’t restricted by any barriers on the technology side. As a result, they increased their motor pool operations to over a dozen locations with a range of vehicles like hybrids and EVs.
“Finding ways to partner with our customers, reduce costs and act in a sustainable manner while embracing technology is woven into our culture here at Fleet Services.”
From the end user side, employees can access the motor pool 24/7 and do not have to worry about paperwork every time. Instead, those administrative details are dealt with by the INVERS system. This makes it easier for employees and fleet managers. The County of Ventura has also been able to save thousands of dollars in vehicle maintenance costs. They minimized overhead costs and reduced the amount of greenhouse gas emitted. All thanks to the INVERS-supported corporate carsharing program.
