What advantages does the dedicated server with next-generation bare metal data management features—chosen for the CLOUDERCAR rental management platform—offer compared to a simpler, more general-purpose virtual server?

by Car rental softwareCloud Based Rental SoftwareFleet Management Rental SoftwareReseller Partner Software

TECHNICAL PROFILE:

CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 9700X, 8 cores / 16 threads

RAM: 64 GB (upgraded from 16 GB)

Storage: Two Samsung 980PRO 512 GB NVMe drives in RAID 1 (Linux software RAID via mdadm)

A bare metal server solution like the one adopted for hosting the CLOUDERCAR management system offers significant advantages over a virtual server with more limited resources.

1. SUPERIOR PERFORMANCE

  • Dedicated CPU: The Ryzen 7 9700X is a high-performance processor with 8 physical cores and 16 threads, fully dedicated to your application. In contrast, a virtual server with 4 vCPUs shares underlying hardware with other tenants.
  • Ample RAM: 64 GB allows for handling demanding workloads, in-memory caching, database operations, and resource-intensive applications with ease.
  • NVMe RAID 1: Exceptional I/O performance (read/write) is achieved using high-speed NVMe drives like the Samsung 980 PRO, with RAID 1 providing data redundancy and increased reliability.
  • No virtualization overhead: Unlike virtual machines, bare metal solutions have no hypervisor layer between the OS and the hardware, ensuring maximum efficiency.

2. FULL CONTROL

  • Custom configuration: Full freedom to configure the operating system, firewall, security policies, and file system according to the specific needs of CLOUDERCAR customers.
  • Direct access to hardware: Both physical and logical access allow for advanced security setups and fine-tuned performance optimization.

3. GDPR COMPLIANCE & PRIVACY ADVANTAGES

  • Greater isolation: A bare metal server is not shared with other clients, reducing the risks associated with co-tenancy or accidental data leakage.
  • Data location control: Hosting is done in a data center located within the European Union, in full compliance with GDPR regulations.
  • Custom access logging and auditing: Enables enhanced security monitoring and accountability.
  • Enhanced data protection: Custom encryption settings protect both data at rest and in transit.

Conclusion:

By adopting a bare metal infrastructure, the car rental management platform CLOUDERCAR benefits from high transparency and enhanced control over data privacy and GDPR compliance, robust and consistent performance under heavy workloads, and complete authority over system configuration and banking transaction security (PSP integration). This architecture positions CLOUDERCAR as a scalable, secure, and future-ready solution in the car rental software market.

To efficiently track vehicle maintenance deadlines in a car rental business, it is essential to use CLOUDERCAR, a management software that helps you handle both preventive and extraordinary vehicle maintenance. Here are some tools and strategies that can facilitate this task:

1. Fleet Management Software (FMS)

CLOUDERCAR is a software solution designed for managing your fleet, allowing you to record and monitor maintenance schedules, completed tasks, and related costs. The software sends automatic notifications for each upcoming deadline, ensuring that you don’t miss important maintenance tasks or rent out unavailable vehicles. Key features include:

  • Mileage-Based Maintenance Alerts: Enter the type of maintenance required at specific mileage intervals, and you will receive a notification 1,000 kilometers in advance to plan accordingly. Need to delay the maintenance because the vehicle is in use? No problem—CLOUDERCAR allows you to adjust the scheduled maintenance to fit your needs.
  • Custom Maintenance Types: Keep track of and manage your fleet by specifying the type of service needed, whether for bodywork, routine checks, or scheduled extraordinary maintenance. The interactive calendar is tailored to your business and is at your disposal for planning interventions.
  • Date-Based Maintenance Alerts: Enter the type of maintenance that requires a specific date, and you will receive a reminder 7 days in advance. If you need to delay due to vehicle availability, you can easily adjust the schedule in CLOUDERCAR, but don’t forget to notify your mechanic!
  • Date-Based Maintenance Examples: You have full control over which deadlines to set. For example, CLOUDERCAR allows you to schedule tire changes, insurance renewals, taxes, vehicle sanitization, and more—fully customizable to fit the size and style of your rental business.
  • Interactive Calendar Overview: Use custom colors to easily identify vehicle status at a glance when you arrive at the office. This feature makes fleet management simple for your team, even in larger rental operations, by marking vehicle availability based on your customized color codes.
  • Flexible Maintenance Status: If a scheduled maintenance is visible on your calendar but the vehicle is still needed, you can choose to rent it out and postpone the service. CLOUDERCAR adapts to your workflow without forcing you to pause operations, giving you full control over how to manage your rental fleet.

2. Internal Movement Management

CLOUDERCAR also helps you efficiently manage internal fleet movements, whether transferring vehicles between branches or to the service shop:

  • Track Internal Movements: Use this tool to record vehicle transfers and monitor staff activities.
  • Assign Team Drivers: Track who is responsible for each vehicle by entering the driver’s name, mileage, fuel level, and any potential damage.
  • Vehicle Verification: Record mileage, fuel levels, any damage, and even digital signatures for accountability.

By using the CLOUDERCAR platform, you can manage your fleet easily and intuitively, tracking vehicle movements directly within the system and viewing them at a glance on the interactive calendar. CLOUDERCAR provides a comprehensive solution with all operational modules included at a fixed monthly price, and you can cancel anytime.

Pick-ups, returns, maintenance, servicing, administrative deadlines, quotes, and extensions can all be easily viewed and managed, improving overall visibility and minimizing the risk of missed deliveries and errors.

2. Improved Collaboration Across Multiple Rental Locations

The interactive calendar allows you to share all information in real time with your team, even across multiple locations. This facilitates collaboration between employees, who can view available vehicles, their rates, and locations, enabling internal movements that are tracked by the system. It also helps optimize your fleet usage, set clear deadlines, and streamline tasks for your staff, such as deliveries, vehicle pickups, and internal movements.

By leveraging the full functionality of the interactive calendar within your CLOUDERCAR car rental management software, upcoming pick-ups and returns are visible both in the calendar and in the daily program. Activities are colour-coded (customizable), and the most important information is highlighted. With just a click, you can view all the details of a selected vehicle, allowing you to respond to specific customer requests. You can set reminders and notifications for administrative or maintenance deadlines, helping you stay on track and up to date with your commitments, reducing delays, and optimizing workforce allocation.

4. Efficient Management of Your Rental Fleet

Through the interactive calendar in your CLOUDERCAR car rental management software, you can manage vehicle availability to optimize usage during peak seasons or periods of lower demand. You can check vehicle availability and schedule maintenance, tire changes, tax renewals, and insurance in an efficient way, avoiding scheduling conflicts or overlaps.

You can check the daily financial status of each vehicle, and with one click, view the overall status. If you opt for the optional feature linked to your digital account, the system tracks payments in real time, and the interactive calendar instantly reflects the payment status. You can also monitor pending payments in the dedicated daily calendar.

Additionally, if you choose the optional feature linked to your digital account, it can also be accessed on the POS terminal provided free of charge. This is particularly useful for deliveries and pick-ups at hotels, airports, train stations, or meeting points, eliminating the need to return to the office.

7. Customization of Your CLOUDERCAR Calendar

The CLOUDERCAR car rental management software with an interactive calendar allows for detailed customization: you can create weekly, monthly, or daily views, categorize events, assign priorities, and use different colours to enhance readability and ensure a quick understanding of the information.
