History

THE INITIAL START IN CAR RENTAL

1989 the company KMS Computer und Software was founded by Mr. Michael Schönefeld as a partnership based in Berlin. With the development of industry software for the rapidly growing car hire sector, the company breaks new ground. The driving force behind the development is to streamline processes and process information in a customer-specific manner.

Initially developed together with a reference customer, the Autorent 2000 product quickly evolved into a successful industry solution. The DOS solution already covers all essential rental functions, and customers include car rental companies from all over Germany.

1998 the system is further developed into a Windows system and RentOffice is born. The Berlin-based company Robben & Wientjes becomes the first reference customer. The software consists of a basic version and several additional modules customized to the respective customer requirements. This makes it possible to enlarge the customer base to include car dealerships, company fleets, leasing providers as well as long-term and specialized rental companies (e.g. construction vehicles, trucks).
