The problem
Prime Deal Auto ran on WordPress and the site went down about once a month. Every outage meant lost visitors and missed enquiries for a dealership that depends on its website to sell cars.
Case studies
Web apps, mobile apps, AI voice agents and Google Ads that bring in customers
We build and run the digital side of growing South African businesses. Here is the work, and what it changed.
Featured
Prime Deal Auto
A faster, always-on dealership site with Ayanda, an AI voice agent that talks to customers and brings in leads.
- outages since the new site launched
- 0
- downtime on the old WordPress site
- Monthly
- customers call and visit expecting to meet Ayanda
- By name
- Ayanda is already bringing them in
- Leads
What we built
- We rebuilt the site from scratch as a fast, serverless web application with live car listings, search and lead capture.
- We built Ayanda, a voice agent that talks with shoppers on the site, helps them find cars and captures their details as leads. Her voice and manner are natural enough that shoppers treat her as a member of the team.
- We set up and ran Google Ads to send buyers to the new site.
Case study
Jet Cars
From a slow WordPress site that kept going down to a fast dealership platform that finds buyers cars and tells the owner what is working.
- pages on a server-rendered, serverless platform
- Fast
- no repeat of the WordPress downtime
- Always on
- every visit, contact click and lead is tracked
- Visible
The problem
Jet Cars was on WordPress. The site was slow, and it went down. For a dealership that is the worst combination: a buyer on a phone gives a slow page a few seconds, and a page that will not load sends them to the next listing.
There was also no clear picture of what visitors did. The owner could not see which cars got looked at, who clicked to contact the dealership, or where buyers dropped off.
What we built
- We rebuilt Jet Cars on a serverless AWS platform. Pages are rendered on the server so they load quickly and can be found on Google.
- Buyers search the stock with full-text search and an AI assistant that understands requests like "SUVs under R300k" and finds matching cars.
- The site installs on a phone like an app, and a WhatsApp button puts every car one tap away from a conversation with the dealer.
- A private admin area lets the team add cars, manage listings and work through leads.
- We built an analytics dashboard on the same platform. It follows a buyer from visitor to car viewer to contact click to lead, so the owner sees where enquiries come from and where they are lost.
Case study
TJ Auto
A Johannesburg used car dealership live with its own brand and a fast, searchable stock site, built on a platform already proven at Jet Cars.
- a new front end, not a reskinned template
- Own brand
- backend and hosting reused from Jet Cars
- Proven
- buyers filter by make, model, variant and price
- Search
The problem
TJ Auto needed a website that could do the job of a sales floor: show the stock clearly, let buyers search it by make, model and price, and make it easy to get in touch. Building that from nothing is slow and expensive, and a dealership loses sales every week it is not online.
It also needed to look like TJ Auto and not like every other template dealership site.
What we built
- We started from the backend and hosting we had already built, tested and run for Jet Cars. That removed the riskiest and slowest work and gave TJ Auto a platform with a track record.
- We designed a new TJ Auto front end from scratch, with its own look, layout and contact details.
- Buyers find cars with a search box and filters for make, model, variant and price, right on the home page.
- TJ Auto gets the same admin area to manage stock, and a WhatsApp button for buyers who prefer to chat.
Case study
ADE Motors
A brand-new Bramley dealership launched with a web app that runs the business and an AI sales assistant that books test drives.
- dealership live with a full web app from day one
- New
- an AI assistant answers buyers and books test drives
- 24/7
- the owner lists cars and manages leads himself
- Self-run
The problem
ADE Motors was starting from nothing. The owner did not want a brochure site with a phone number on it. He wanted one app he could run the dealership from: listing cars, handling the admin, and getting stock in front of buyers.
He also knew buyers message at all hours, and a small team cannot answer every question about every car. A buyer who waits for a reply tends to move on to the next dealer.
What we built
- We built ADE Motors as a modern web app on a serverless AWS platform, so it loads fast and does not depend on a server someone has to look after.
- An admin area lets the owner list cars, update stock and work through enquiries himself, without calling a developer.
- Buyers search by make, model and variant, then open full car pages with photos and details.
- An AI sales assistant answers buyer questions from the live stock, shows matching cars, books test drives and hands over to WhatsApp or the team. When a buyer becomes a lead, the team gets a short summary of what that buyer wants.
- The assistant is built with guardrails. Prices, promises and personal details are checked by code before a buyer sees them, and the owner can review chats and costs in the admin area.
