Mobile Car Deal Management Solution

Simplifies car buying process, enables productivity in deal management

The client is a car dealership service provider. They had an idea for a client–server mobile app that would help car buyers and car dealers close deals faster.

Problem

The client turned to Softeq to build a mobile app to provide buyers with a convenient car purchasing experience. It would enhance the existing customer’s client–server solution.

The app needed to be multiplatform and developed from scratch. To enable prompt data management, we had to integrate that app with the client’s web back end.

Solution

The Xamarin-driven app targets potential vehicle buyers and is designed to provide end-to-end purchasing experience — from car selection to finalizing the purchase order.

The app allows the buyer to:

Choose a new or a used car
Assess trade-in options for an existing car
Check for rebates and calculate the final price
Check the available payment options
Scan the VIN code or driver license
Check the insurance options
Submit a purchase request
Communicate with Sales Managers
Generate a worksheet with all the deal pertinent details
Finalize the purchase order

The app communicates with the web back end, which has been functionally upgraded to work as a CRM tool enabling sales managers to process buyer requests more efficiently. The web system is integrated with a number of third-party solutions, including AIS Rebates, DealerSocket dealer management system, among others.

Since many of the third-party systems did not meet the customer’s expectations to the required extent, the team had to do a major solution customization.
