The Challenge

Automotive wholesale industry has been long underserved with IT solutions and the market has historically been very fragmented with the largest player in the US taking only about 2% market share. The opportunity emerged to create more value for participants of the wholesale ecosystem by running logistics more efficiently, transparently and employing data for business decision making.

Since the company has been an innovator in the market, there were limited tools and solutions that would meet the requirements, therefore the software had to be developed from scratch. The main challenge was developing the solution that can support growing business operations and at the same time adapt to continuous pivots while business was looking for the best product-market fit.
