Turo's challenges

One of the main challenges is to attract enough vehicle owners to the platform. Although their database is already provided, demand is still growing, “We have a lot of them in our database, 
But there are a lot of people who want to join us,” explains Thomas, Turo's chief commercial officer. 
This highlights the need for increased support to register new owners.



The seasonality of the sector further complicates this task, with periods of high demand that put pressure on the company. “We are sometimes a bit light in terms of structure and workforce to be able to acquire new owners,” Thomas recognizes. At the same time, Antoine, Marketing Director at Turo France, highlights another major challenge: ensuring a successful migration to a new platform while guaranteeing a fleet large enough to meet the demand of renters.

How does Sqwad meet Turo's needs?

To overcome its many challenges, Turo chose to collaborate with Sqwad, a specialist in outsourced customer relationships. Antoine, marketing director at Turo France, explains that the main objective was 
to “strengthen our Customer Success Teams” in order to support vehicle owners on the platform. Sqwad was able to respond quickly to this need by providing competent and immediately available agents. 



To meet Turo's high standards, a carefully selected process was put in place by Sqwad. 
Specific criteria include key criteria such as possession of a driver's license, experience 
In vehicle rental, as well as a good knowledge of the automotive sector. Agents also had to be patient and fluent in speaking to provide quality service. The Requirement to Train

Thomas, sales director at Turo, also highlights Sqwad's responsiveness, saying that they had

owners and renters, while helping to improve the customer experience. Antoine Points Out That 
This collaboration allowed Turo to succeed in complex challenges, including the migration of nearly 20,000 vehicles to the new platform in just 6 weeks: “This was not necessarily a foregone conclusion,” he said.


In addition to improving customer service, partnering with Sqwad allowed Turo to optimize costs. 
By outsourcing certain tasks, Turo was able to control its expenses while benefiting from recognized expertise. Sqwad, with its performance-based model, has not only helped Turo grow faster, 
But also to maintain crucial flexibility and efficiency in such a competitive market.

The concrete results

The collaboration between Turo and Sqwad was a success. Antoine reports that nearly 20,000 vehicles have been migrated to the Turo platform, and around 1,000 new vehicles have been added just before peak season. 
“Collaboration is a success, because we have secured this migration phase,” he says, stressing the effectiveness of the Sqwad teams and their ability to maintain high standards.



For Thomas, the real added value of Sqwad lies in their ability to “produce monitored actions” 
with almost immediate results, a necessity in a sector where the return on investment must be measurable. To ensure optimal performance monitoring, Sqwad deployed its in-house tools: the Sqwad Cockpit. 
This innovative tool allows agents to connect their computers, offering real-time supervision. 
and a thorough analysis of their business. Thanks to the Cockpit, we can monitor sites and work schedules, track the distribution of working time by URL and by tools, and identify periods of activity and inactivity. 
It also contributes to the development of the skills of agents and to the optimization of their time. 
With daily, weekly, and monthly overviews available, as well as individual, team and objective data, the Cockpit ensures accurate and proactive management of operations.

The concrete results of this partnership include a reduction in response times, a significant improvement 
customer satisfaction, and cost optimization through the outsourcing of customer management. For Turo, Sqwad embodies flexibility, flexibility, and efficiency, qualities that were decisive in supporting their growth.

The added value of Sqwad

The collaboration between Turo & Sqwad is characterized by 3 essential aspects that bring real added value to Turo:

  • Flexibility For Thomas, Sqwad's flexibility is a major asset, making it possible to meet specific needs that Turo cannot manage internally.
  • Flexibility Antoine highlights 
Sqwad's capacity 
To “respect timelines that are not necessarily determined 
in advance”, offering
a rapid adaptation of the campaigns.
  • Effectiveness Thomas claims that 
this collaboration allows Turo to “gain market share” and increase its turnover, making 
this partnership is essential for their success.

This collaboration perfectly illustrates how Sqwad's expertise allows its customers to meet the challenges they face, while maintaining a quality service for their users.

This case demonstrates that, by relying on strategic, agile and flexible collaboration, businesses can not only improve their performance, but also strengthen their leadership position, even in the face of significant seasonal peaks in activity.
