Zipcar Back-End Dashboard Prototype
Zipcar, the most popular car rental app, has benefited many users who don't own a car but need a car. Using a zipcar is fairly easy. User can open the app, type in the location, find a car and use the car. However, the back-end development and maintenance of the service is not as easy as it seems.
The project is created by DubsTech protothon, and here's the prompt below:
Problem Statement
Keeping track of all the cars is not an easy job. As an back-end user, Zipcar wanted to use a dashboard to help organize information. The dashboard should include status, location, and details of each car and reservations of each city, maintain a record of all the accidents, repairs and damages, show user complaints, keep track of all the receipts and transactions
My goal for this project is to design a back-end dashboard that shows in formation of each car in each location. The users can click on the map or search key words. Another tool I'm planning to use is a word cloud that shows most frequently used words for user comments.
Prototyping
- The home page that allows users to either type in address/zipcode or select state directly on the map
- Once the address is set, the user can look at the zipcars in this location on the zoomed in map. The left side of the screen shows car info if you click on a specific car and a graph of the popularity of the car. User can also save this car’s info, take a screenshot or edit it for future usage.
- The last screen shows user complains(compliments) today by displaying a word cloud. User can also search keywords from the cloud or word base to see if any car was commented with this keyword.
