Context
The client and their challenge
Asphalte Location is a Niamey-based car rental company that wanted to move beyond phone + notebook + Excel and offer a fully digital customer journey, while running its fleet in real time. The goal: become Niger's reference for car rental for individuals, businesses and expatriates.
About the project
Asphalte Location
Asphalte Location digitises the full car rental chain in Niamey and across Niger: real-time vehicle catalogue, online booking and payment, digital condition reports, GPS tracking and automated invoicing. A unified back-office lets the rental company manage fleet, contracts, maintenance and revenue from a single interface.

The challenge
- Time-consuming bookings: every request comes via WhatsApp or phone, many customers lost in the evenings and weekends.
- Opaque availability: customers can't see in real time which vehicles are free for their dates.
- Paper condition reports: frequent disputes on damage at return, lost photos, deposits hard to justify.
- Fleet not geolocated: cars hard to find when late, theft or out-of-zone use tough to detect.
- Loose payments: cash only, no automated reminders, unpredictable cash flow.
Our answer
- 100% online booking: catalogue with photos, date-based availability, immediate payment or deposit — confirmation in under a minute.
- Real-time calendar: every vehicle has its planning, updated to the second on every booking, rental or return.
- Digital condition report: e-signed photos at pick-up and return, automatic archiving, the source of truth for any deposit refund.
- GPS on every vehicle: fleet map, geofencing of the authorised territory, alerts on zone breaches.
- Digital payments: mobile money, card, bank transfer, automatic billing on extensions — every flow is tracked and invoiced.
