OUR APPROACH
Splitting the project in phases: Concept, Design, Development, QA, Go live
By splitting a project lifecycle into clear and separate phases, we refined a simple 5 steps technique that allows us and our clients to innovate while maintaining control over the processes and resources involved.
An online car loan package you can configure yourself
When buying the cars, clients are able to configure the financial package by selecting the upfront payment and the number of years.
The system then shows all the monthly fees and generates custom pdfs containing all the information the client needs regarding the financial timetable, the insurance rates and the car and accessories details. Simple.
