**Scope****Summary**Nuvven are proposing solutions for key problems among tier two and three car rental operators. High operational inefficiencies, low utilisation of vehicles, a fragmented solution vendor landscape, poor utilisation of data-driven insights, and an inability to grow smaller businesses are just a few of these key problems. COVID-19 has aggravated this predicament (FT, 2020). Car rental operators are desperately looking to digitise their businesses, reduce operational costs, and create capabilities to offer contactless rental services. This will also allow companies to access new consumers who are looking for alternatives to public transport.**Innovation**Nuvven is the first end-to-end digital car rental management platform that is powered by Telematics and AI to efficiently manage the entire car rental operations, from booking to customer management, fleet maintenance, pricing, reporting, and payments. Building upon their initial MVP and utilising modern design and technology, Nuvven will create a fully digital mobile solution for their customers that will enable safe, no-contact experiences for customers and owners of car rental businesses by equipping them with a mobile app that leverages innovative features, such as keyless entry, biometric customer verification, digital signature, and a fully digitised damage assessment process. Through using the integrated Nuvven platform, car rental operators will also benefit from immediate cost savings, higher fleet utilisation, and revenue maximisation.**Market Opportunity**None of the existing software providers in the market provide end-to-end digitisation or advanced IoT and AI capabilities to deliver fully contactless rental services, something which Nuvven is enabling for their customers.The global and UK annual addressable/serviceable markets are £60--65B/£20--25B and £8--10B/£2--3B, respectively (CAGR: 18.5% 2020--2024; IBIS world car-rental report, 2020).**Alignment to Scope**Nuvven is an SME seeking funding for a sustainable innovation fund project to enhance an existing MVP product, perform customer trials, and obtain user feedback. As per Innovate-UK guidelines, Nuvven plans to utilise this grant to R&D a sustainable and step-change innovation that utilises user experience/design-thinking principles. Nuvven predicts a year-five post-project revenue of £331.1M, with rapid global commercialisation potential, creating 150 UK jobs, regional development, and substantial potential ROI (year-5 post-project revenue/grant received: 352X). COVID-19 has had a direct and critical impact on this industry and the utilisation of public funds will help to substantially benefit and stabilise both this sector and, by generating jobs, respective working communities. Public funding is necessary due to the inherent but mitigatable technological risk of the project.

** 范围 * 摘要 **Nuvven正在为二级和三级汽车租赁运营商的关键问题提供解决方案。运营效率低下，车辆利用率低，解决方案供应商格局分散，数据驱动的见解利用率低，以及无法发展小型企业只是这些关键问题中的一小部分。COVID-19加剧了这一困境（FT，2020）。汽车租赁运营商迫切希望将其业务数字化，降低运营成本，并创造提供非接触式租赁服务的能力。这也将使公司能够接触到正在寻找公共交通替代品的新消费者。**创新 ** Nuven是第一个端到端数字汽车租赁管理平台，由远程信息处理和人工智能提供支持，可高效管理整个汽车租赁运营，从预订到客户管理、车队维护、定价、报告和支付。Nuvven将在其初始MVP的基础上，利用现代设计和技术，为客户创建一个全数字化的移动的解决方案，为汽车租赁企业的客户和所有者提供安全、无接触的体验，为他们配备一个移动的应用程序，利用创新功能，如无钥匙进入、生物识别客户验证、数字签名和全数字化的损坏评估流程。通过使用集成的Nuvven平台，汽车租赁运营商还将立即节省成本，提高车队利用率并实现收入最大化。市场机会 ** 市场上现有的软件供应商都没有提供端到端数字化或先进的物联网和人工智能功能来提供完全非接触式租赁服务，Nuvven正在为其客户提供这种服务。全球和英国每年可寻址/可服务市场分别为600 - 650亿英镑/200 - 250亿英镑和80 - 100亿英镑/20 - 30亿英镑。（复合年增长率：2020- 2024年为18.5%; IBIS世界汽车租赁报告，2020年）。** **Nuvven是一家寻求可持续创新基金项目资金的中小企业，该项目旨在增强现有MVP产品，进行客户试用并获得用户反馈。根据Innovate-UK的指导方针，Nuvven计划利用这笔资金研发一种可持续的、利用用户体验/设计思维原则的渐进式创新。Nuvven预测项目后五年的收入为3.311亿英镑，具有快速的全球商业化潜力，创造了150个英国就业机会，区域发展和巨大的潜在投资回报率（项目后五年的收入/收到的赠款：352倍）。COVID-19对该行业产生了直接和关键的影响，利用公共资金将有助于该行业的大幅受益和稳定，并通过创造就业机会，促进相关工作社区的稳定。由于该项目固有但可减轻的技术风险，公共资金是必要的。
