Thermeon (CARS+)

Thermeon (specifically their flagship "CARS+" platform) is a highly robust, incredibly battle-tested Enterprise platform explicitly designed for massive, global, multi-national franchise operations. If you rent a car from an Enterprise, Hertz, or Thrifty franchise in a major international airport, it is highly likely that CARS+ is powering the chaotic transaction behind the counter. Because it operates at the massive airport tier, its "Counter Velocity" is legendary. An airport rental agent dealing with a massive line of angry travelers cannot use a slow web app. CARS+ is heavily optimized for aggressive, keyboard-shortcut-driven data entry, allowing an experienced agent to swipe a driver's license, swipe a credit card, assign a car class, and print the contract in under 45 seconds. It features terrifyingly complex "GDS" (Global Distribution System) architecture. It doesn't just link to Expedia. It links natively to Amadeus, Sabre, and Galileo—the massive, hidden mainframe networks that travel agents and massive corporate travel departments use to book global travel, completely integrating the rental company into the global airline ticketing ecosystem.
