A car rental desk on an island cannot open without systems or wait for a technician from the mainland. In 2025, DataRoad built the network of an office in Funchal from scratch.

Looking for the service rather than the case study? This article describes a project. To contract support, see our managed service desk for businesses.
A car hire desk without systems takes no bookings, issues no contracts and hands over no cars, and on an island there is no room to wait for an engineer from the mainland. In 2025 Rent a Car opened an office in Funchal and entrusted DataRoad - IT Services and Consulting with the entire infrastructure: structured cabling, business Wi-Fi, firewall and video surveillance, designed and installed by a single team. The project followed on from the work carried out for the brand at its Expo, Camarate, Faro and Porto offices.
A network ready on day one, secure and manageable remotely from the mainland, with visits to Madeira whenever needed. Bookings, contracts, payments and vehicle handovers depended on it every minute.
