The challenge
A classifieds site lives or dies on search. Buyers want to filter thousands of ads instantly; dealers need their whole stock online without retyping it; and the site has to stay fast while images, ads and traffic keep growing.
What we did
Instant search across the whole stock
We built a dedicated search engine behind every filter, from brand and model to price, year and mileage, so results update the moment you change a filter.
Tools for dealers
APIs and integrations with the CRMs dealers already use, so a dealership’s whole stock goes live and stays up to date without retyping a thing.
A mobile app as well
The same search and ads in an app for iOS and Android.
AI that helps buyers
Buyers can describe the car they want in their own words and AI finds the matching ads, and our own machine-learning models estimate what each car or motorbike is worth.
Fast as it grows
We host and run it ourselves, with photos resized on the fly for every screen, so it stays fast as ads and traffic grow.
Because we run Auto.PT ourselves, the search, performance and AI work we bring to client projects has been tested on our own traffic first.
