Siemens will now have access to a wide range of mobility solutions for the future and will always be able to offer its employees the right mobility for their current needs.
Sixt will offer its partner the option of reserving vehicles with the latest mobile apps on the SAP Concur booking tool. It will offer Siemens a complete, automated overview of all travel expenses within the company.
Significant time savings on business trips
Sixt will also make many other innovative services available to Siemens through their cooperation. The Sixt Digital Self-Service will be available at select airports.
The technology group’s employees can reserve their Sixt vehicle over the app, select it, and later pull it up on site. Ther is no longer a need to make the detour to the service counter to pick up keys anymore, saving a significant amount of time on business trips.
Siemens and Sixt are also working on an end-to-end solution based on blockchain technology and billing for Siemens users. It will focus on increasing the use of electromobility.
