Case Study

Online Web Portal And Mobile App For Buying & Selling Cars

Client Profile

Client is an automotive dealership owner running a family-owned franchises of an auto traders. In addition to car buy/sell services, the client provides maintenance services, repair services, and financing.

Business Challenge

The client is a well-known car dealer looking to expand their business globally. Given the fact that the online car sell/buy portals were making a fortune for their friendly neighborhood competitors, the client was being held back. And as the Internet is penetrated on each and every screen and with the growing number of Internet users bringing in a new business opportunity called car and automotive portal, the client desired to push the business further and make a mark on the digital age as one of the top one-stop destinations for all car enthusiasts.

With the aim to become the largest online portal and to create an entirely new and powerful marketplace for dealers & buyers, the client relied upon Suretek to develop the business-toconsumer portal that would cater to motorists who want to buy or sell vehicles. The online portal was to solve problems for both private seller and car dealers by allowing them with hundreds of options and possibilities including advanced search tools, descriptive vehicle's page, showcasing featured listings, frontend submission forms, tools for management sale cars, video, system of comments and ratings, email notifications and much more. With a vision to develop a complete ecosystem for consumers and car manufacturers, the client also desired to have a mobile app developed—for users who mainly travel the internet through their compact sized hand-held devices.

Suretek Solution

With the client’s vision and desires at hand, the team at Suretek started to create a custom solution, which was not a cakewalk. The tricky part was to build a complete car buying eco system from scratch to be able to incorporate database that’d go on to hold more than 3 million vehicle listings from 40,000 dealers and 250,000 private owners. We set up an agile project structure that’d allow us to efficiently architect and develop a robust hybrid application and a web portal. Simply put, we helped the client launch the solution with a rich array of tech-enabled tools for private owners and car dealers. The features included an advanced search system, enhanced sorting capability, private seller and car dealer’s registration portal, fully designed detailed listing catalogue, email/text alert system, a strong search/comparison engine that’d empower the users with a reliable platform to make decisions on what car suits their needs the best.
