The Challenge
Running a high-mileage rental fleet without the right tools was putting Swift Ride at risk.
​
Swift Ride serves gig-economy drivers who rely on vehicles for work through platforms like Uber, Lyft, DoorDash, and Amazon Flex. Their drivers often log 4,000 to 5,000 miles per month, which creates unique challenges around vehicle access, payment enforcement, maintenance, and theft prevention.
​
Before Geotab, Swift Ride struggled with late payments, lost keys, manual handoffs, stolen vehicles, and limited visibility across its fleet.
The Solution
Geotab helped Swift Ride create a more automated rental operation.
​
With Geotab Keyless, GO9 devices, and open API access, Swift Ride connected its mobile app directly to vehicle access and payment workflows. Drivers could verify their identity, pay, unlock the vehicle, and start driving without a physical key handoff.
​
Can-Am Wireless, a Geotab reseller, supported Swift Ride as an implementation and strategic technology partner, helping match Swift Ride’s operational challenges with the right Geotab solutions.
