FORT MYERS — Car-rental giant Hertz is looking for the next great app.
The company, which relocated its global headquarters to Southwest Florida from New Jersey in 2013, hosted a hack-a-thon at Florida Gulf Coast University in Fort Myers the weekend of Jan. 24. There were 10 teams representing about 50 students.
Hack-a-thons are events that bring together teams of software developers in a race to develop software that can help solve a problem. The winning team created a damage-identification phone application.
“Hertz connects users with technology through devices to make their rental experience as seamless as possible,” says Hertz Equipment Rental Corporation's vice president of information technology, Jim Carlsen, in a statement.
