01Overview#

We built a new‑car configurator so anyone can select version, engine and colour without technical knowledge and send a precise request to the right dealer.

02The Problem#

Heterogeneous catalogues: inconsistent, duplicated naming made a single clear experience impossible.

03Our Solution#

Six steps: 1) Brand & model 2) Fuel 3) Version 4) Engine 5) Colour 6) Postcode → correct dealer with full context.

Step 1 brand & model
Step 2 fuel
Step 3 version
Step 4 engine
Step 5 colour
Step 6 postcode & CTA

04AI Layer#

AI ingests each brand catalogue and transforms it: groups equivalents, removes duplicates, and labels versions/engines consistently.

Without this layer we would spend weeks per brand; with AI we launched the first in days and scaled almost plug & play.

05Impact#

  • ~20% more leads (early)
  • Lower bounce: clear steps
  • Specific leads (exact version + colour)
  • Rapid scale to new brands

06My Role#

  • Vision, metrics & MVP scope
  • Specs & microcopy
  • Design/Engineering/Data/Sales coordination
  • Normalisation pipeline design & QA

07Next Step#

Add more brands, dealer price transparency and explore pre‑financing to reduce time to deal.
