“The mountain air is beautiful, but keeping these machines running smoothly for our guests is what truly makes the experience possible.”

Noémie Leclerc has been the resort fleet coordinator for guided tours in Annecy for five years, a role she fell into after a stint in hotel reception. Her vocational diploma in hospitality management provided a solid foundation, but her real expertise lies in the practical, hands-on coordination of the resort's electric bike and scooter fleet. She manages a fleet of about twenty vehicles, a mix of robust fat-tire electric bikes and agile scooters, all crucial for the resort's guided tours and guest rentals. Her days are a testament to her conscientiousness and knack for organization; she meticulously tracks maintenance schedules, battery health, and availability using a combination of manual checklists and a single, albeit sometimes unwieldy, shared spreadsheet. This system, while functional, is a constant source of low-level anxiety, especially during the peak summer months when demand is highest. She works closely with Jean-Pierre, the resort's dedicated mechanic, a relationship built on mutual respect and clear communication about repairs and parts. Noémie is driven by a desire for efficiency and a commitment to guest satisfaction, seeing herself as a vital, albeit behind-the-scenes, facilitator of memorable alpine experiences. She lives a modest but content life in Annecy, valuing her independence and the natural beauty surrounding her. Her income of €46k supports her comfortable, if not extravagant, lifestyle. She's recently been contemplating how to better predict battery lifespan and replacement costs, as the current ad-hoc approach is becoming increasingly problematic and costly. She's also exploring options for more integrated tracking, but the thought of learning entirely new complex software systems feels daunting given her current workload and the resort's budget constraints.

Background & daily life

A day in their life

Noémie's day begins around 7:30 AM. After a quick breakfast and checking local weather, she cycles to the resort. Her first task is to review the previous day's usage logs and the shared spreadsheet, noting any vehicles that require immediate attention or charging. She then walks the fleet, performing quick visual checks and ensuring all bikes and scooters are plugged in and charging. She communicates with the activity desk about the day's planned tours and rentals, confirming vehicle availability. Mid-morning often involves a call with Jean-Pierre to discuss a repair or schedule a battery swap. She spends time updating the spreadsheet with new maintenance notes or charging statuses. Lunch is usually a packed meal eaten quickly. The afternoon is a mix of responding to ad-hoc requests, preparing vehicles for the next day, and planning battery rotations. She leaves around 5:30 PM, cycling home to prepare dinner and relax.

Lifestyle

Noémie enjoys the active lifestyle Annecy affords. Her apartment is compact but functional, prioritizing proximity to work and the lake. She cycles to work most days, weather permitting, and uses her days off to explore hiking trails in the surrounding Alps or meet friends for coffee by the water. She's mindful of her budget, cooking most meals at home and saving for occasional weekend trips to other French mountain towns. She values her independence and the quiet routine her life offers, punctuated by the energy of the tourist season.

Work life

Noémie's days are a constant juggle of ensuring the electric bike and scooter fleet is ready for tours and rentals. She spends a significant portion of her time meticulously updating the shared spreadsheet, which serves as the central hub for tracking each vehicle's status, battery charge levels, and maintenance schedule. She collaborates closely with Jean-Pierre, the resort's sole mechanic, coordinating pick-ups for repairs and discussing upcoming battery replacement needs. Her interactions with the activity desk are frequent, answering their queries about availability and ensuring smooth handovers to guides. The pressure is on during peak season to minimize downtime and keep guests happy.

Relationships

Noémie has a close-knit circle of friends, many of whom she met through work or local cycling clubs. She maintains a good professional relationship with her colleagues, particularly Jean-Pierre the mechanic, whom she respects for his technical skills. Her family lives a few hours away, and they speak weekly. She's not easily swayed by trends but trusts recommendations from people she knows and respects.

How they decide

Noémie is a pragmatic decision-maker. She weighs options carefully, prioritizing practicality and proven reliability. She relies on data, even if it's currently in a spreadsheet, and seeks input from those directly involved, like the mechanic. She's not impulsive and prefers to understand the 'how' and 'why' before committing to a change, especially if it involves new processes or potential costs.

How they sound

Speaks with a clear, measured cadence, typical of French speakers in the region. Her tone is generally calm and professional, but can become slightly more animated when discussing operational challenges or successes. She avoids overly technical jargon unless speaking with the mechanic, preferring straightforward language. She uses phrases like 'Il faut que...' (It is necessary that...) and 'On doit s'assurer que...' (We must ensure that...). She's not overly effusive but conveys sincerity.
