AssureCars
Premium certified used-car reseller platform
A self-hosted, single-tenant platform for SMB dealers: branded website and apps, 200-point inspection reports, leads, and concurrent-slot test-drive booking. Not a marketplace.
Abstract
AssureCars is enabling technology for small-to-medium used-car dealers. Each dealer gets an isolated, self-hosted deployment — own website, mobile apps, catalog, leads, and test-drive operations. It is not a marketplace: inventory and data are never shared across tenants. Trust is anchored by a mandatory 200-point inspection report on every listed car.
Problem
SMB dealers are forced into marketplaces that own the customer relationship, or into generic website templates that cannot express certified inventory, inspection PDFs, or hub/doorstep test drives.
Solution
A licensed, single-tenant product: buyer app/web, employee app, and admin portal, with inspection ingestion from the Kotlin inspection app and an inventory publish gate that requires the report.
Architecture
- Single-tenant isolation: own database, storage, domain, and branding per dealer.
- Surfaces: buyer app/web, dealer staff app, admin portal.
- Inspection app is system of record; AssureCars ingests via webhook/push.
- Inventory publish gated on the 200-point report.
- Concurrent-slot test-drive booking with OTP check-in.
Capabilities
- Certified catalog with inspection PDF/JSON on every listing.
- Leads from buyer interest.
- Concurrent test-drive slots.
- Hub or doorstep test drives with OTP check-in.
- Sell requests and PDI request flows.
Audience
SMB certified used-car dealers who want their own branded digital storefront, not a listing on someone else's marketplace.
Outcomes
- A productized dealer OS rather than a custom build per lot.
- Inspection-backed trust as a publish requirement.
