Client: Sixt Car Rentals
Project: Sixt Fleet Check
Role: UX/UI Designer
Platforms: Mobile App (iOS & Android), Desktop App
Sixt Car Rentals needed a fleet tracking solution to prevent vehicle location mismatches across its U.S. rental network. I designed the Sixt Fleet Check mobile and desktop apps to provide a quick, seamless vehicle check-in system using VIN scanning technology. Inspired by Grammarly’s early desktop app for a clean, intuitive UI, and leveraging my experience with Dealerslink’s Fastbook VIN scanner, I created an efficient, user-friendly interface that allows employees to scan a vehicle’s VIN upon arrival and alerts managers if a car is in the wrong location. The result? Faster check-ins, improved accuracy, and real-time fleet visibility.
Challenge
The app needed to:
Enable quick, seamless vehicle check-ins using VIN scanning via a smartphone.
Alert managers if a vehicle is not at the expected location.
Be simple, fast, and intuitive, requiring minimal user training.
Maintain Sixt’s branding and visual identity.Upload a screenshot into this mockup and make it stand out without fancy design software.
My Role
The app needed to:
Designed initial concepts and wireframes for both mobile and desktop apps.
