Understand your results and find new sales opportunities

A fuller view of your business

The statistics area has been redesigned to make analysis easier and support management decisions. With 11 tabs, including Management, Financial, Rates, Fleet, Customers and Commission Agents, you can view consistent indicators across dashboards, compare results with the previous year and export reports to PDF. Access is set according to each user's profile.

See who sells most at the counter

Track sales by staff member, with a breakdown of rental and extras revenue, extras rate per contract and targets. Spot the best results and the opportunities to improve your team's sales performance.

Faster service, from booking to return

Quicker handovers and returns

The service assistant opens in the customer's language — Portuguese, English or Spanish — and shows a clear financial summary, damage and fuel level before signing. Handover and collection modes also work on mobile, so these operations can be done right next to the vehicle.

Online check-in via a link or QR code

Share the customer portal in the confirmation email or through a QR code at the counter. With the booking number and surname, customers can access their booking, check in online and sign, reducing the tasks left for the counter.

Extensions and changes signed remotely

Send contract extensions and changes by email for digital signature. Handle these situations more conveniently, without the customer having to come back to the counter.

Extras, insurance and packages that are easier to present

Card-style presentation lets staff add options to a booking with a single tap, making service simpler and helping to sell add-ons.

Have vehicles ready at the right time

New Vehicle Cleaning module

Organise fleet preparation with a board shown on a screen in the car park or on a tablet. The team can see which vehicles need cleaning, how long they have been waiting and the next booking, and log each clean with a single tap.

At reception, a ready-vehicles screen helps coordinate handovers. If the assigned vehicle has not been cleaned yet, the system shows a warning, so delays can be anticipated and the operation adjusted.

Tailor commercial terms to each customer

Rates and discounts applied automatically

Set specific terms per driver or agency and apply them automatically to bookings. With the last rental in view, the team has more context to provide personalised service.

Long-term rentals with tailored invoicing

Choose the invoicing frequency that suits each contract: monthly, fortnightly, weekly or custom (every X days). A forecast of all invoices makes planning and contract monitoring easier, including operations with ride-hailing (TVDE) drivers and corporate fleets.

Easier online bookings and payments

New version of the WordPress booking plugin

Add the Way2Rentals booking engine to your WordPress website, with real-time prices and availability and integrated payment. Make the customer journey smoother, from searching for a vehicle to completing the booking.

Google Pay and Apple Pay at checkout

Offer more payment options on websites using the REDUNIQ integration. Customers can pay with Google Pay or Apple Pay for a more convenient booking process.

More control over broker connections

The integration manager brings together on a single screen everything you need to understand why a broker is not receiving prices or availability. Automatic diagnostics and a live test help identify problems and resolve them faster.

Less admin work

Fines management with automatic form filling

Available since September 2026, the fines management module simplifies handling notices, automatically filling in response templates and emailing the relevant authority.

Guided setup and user support

New companies get a setup assistant and a checklist to guide their first steps. The redesigned help centre includes new guides on Counter Bookings and Contracts, Statistics and Vehicle Cleaning, helping teams learn faster and work more independently.
