CARWIZ Celebrates 6th Anniversary with Global Gathering and WIZY Awards
The CARWIZ conference brought together over 100 representatives from 57 countries where the Croatian rent a car brand's franchises operate. The event provided an opportunity for exchanging experiences, exploring potential new collaborations, networking, and fostering creativity and synergy.
An exclusive agreement was signed with Irish company Companjon, a leading InsurTech firm. This partnership will make CARWIZ the first rent a car company in the world to offer its clients the ability to cancel reservations for any reason at any time, with a refund.
Krešimir Dobrilović, founder and CEO of CARWIZ International, believes that signing this contract, the first of its kind in the rent a car industry, brings a new level of flexibility and convenience for customers faced with unexpected situations and circumstances. He announced that the service will be operational by the end of the year.
For Matthias Naumann, CEO of Companjon, this collaboration not only elevates the customer experience in the car rental industry with their Cancel For Any Reason solution but also means they share, as he put it, "Carwiz's ambition to go where no one has gone before, and we welcome their boldness in standing out from the competition by being 'there when life happens' for their customers."
At the conference, CARWIZ International's partners presented details of modern business solutions and possibilities for implementing specific products and services for effective operations. These included:
- Partnership opportunities with Croatia Airlines, the Croatian national airline
- The role of data and the Renteon system
- Methods for obtaining user feedback using the Fast Review system
Three major partners presented their services:
- 365idAB: The safest and most accessible Global ID verification solutions in the market
- RATE HIGHWAY: A list of car rental operators to increase profit and efficiency
- Zubie Fleet Connect: Integrating all telematics tools relied upon by fleet management companies into one convenient platform
A special guest at the WIZTALK 2024 conference was Dr. John P. Heyes, USA, Chairman of Titus Center for Franchising at Palm Beach Atlantic University. His lecture focused on identifying people and their business activities, using the DISC method of personal profile analysis (Dominant, Influencer, Steady, and Competent).
Dr. Heyes also met with 12 representatives of Croatian franchises at CARWIZ International's offices in Zagreb. This provided an opportunity for direct conversations where they could present their franchise systems and receive valuable advice on ways to make a stronger entry into the U.S. market.
Summarizing the three-day gathering in Zagreb, Dobrilović emphasized, "The conference and our partners have once again demonstrated Carwiz's advantage – our unwavering commitment to tailored solutions, from fine-tuning brand identity to pioneering cutting-edge IT innovations. We will continue in the same direction in the future, where the foundation of success will remain investing in people, with ongoing education and implementation of comprehensive training programs in all countries where we operate."
