Operational Constraints

What makes automotive & export hard.

Catalogue, specification, enquiry — at export scale

01

Buyers compare on a phone

Export buyers shortlist from a mobile device, often in a different country on a slower connection than the dealership's office.

02

Specification is the product

Commercial and luxury buyers search by variant, payload and configuration. A lifestyle-browsing catalogue cannot answer that query.

03

The sale is the start

In export markets, service, parts and warranty are where repeat business comes from — and where most sites simply stop.

04

Unsourced trust

A cross-border buyer has no showroom to visit. The site is the entire trust surface.

Architecture & Systems

The systems that answer those pressures.

System 01PRODUCTION SCOPE

High-performance catalogues

Server-rendered listings with specification tables that survive small screens and slow networks.

System 02PRODUCTION SCOPE

Structured data for search

Product, offer and organisation markup so listings surface with price and availability rather than as bare links.

System 03PRODUCTION SCOPE

After-sales surfaces

Service booking, parts and support routing so ownership enquiries do not land in the sales inbox.

System 04PRODUCTION SCOPE

Market-localised sites

Separate presence per market with its own content structure, sharing one inventory source.

All work

Method

Five phases, adapted to the sector's risk.

  1. 01

    Phase 01: Diagnose

    1 — 2 weeks

    We look at the actual system, the actual data and the actual workflow before proposing anything. Output is a written assessment: where the constraint really is, what it costs you today, and the options ranked by cost and risk.

    Outputs

    4 deliverables
    • Technical and process assessment
    • Constraint identified and quantified
    • Options with cost, timeline and risk
    • A recommendation we are willing to defend
  2. 02

    Phase 02: Architect

    1 — 3 weeks

    Domain model, route and data architecture, integration boundaries and non-functional requirements agreed in writing. This is the cheapest place to be wrong, so we spend the time here rather than discovering it in month four.

    Outputs

    4 deliverables
    • Domain and data model
    • Architecture decision record
    • Integration and API contracts
    • Performance budget and acceptance criteria
  3. 03

    Phase 03: Build

    4 — 16 weeks

    Two-week cycles against a live environment you can open at any time. No screenshot theatre — you review working software with realistic data, and priorities can be reordered between cycles.

    Outputs

    4 deliverables
    • Working software every two weeks
    • Live staging environment from week one
    • Cycle reviews with a written summary
    • Visible backlog with priority agreed with you
  4. 04

    Phase 04: Harden

    1 — 3 weeks

    The unglamorous work that decides whether launch is calm: permissions reviewed, error paths exercised, performance measured against the budget, migrations rehearsed and reversed.

    Outputs

    4 deliverables
    • Security and permission review
    • Performance and load verification
    • Migration rehearsal with rollback
    • Monitoring, alerting and error tracking
  5. 05

    Phase 05: Operate

    Ongoing

    Launch is a checkpoint, not an ending. Under a retainer we watch real traffic, fix what the data exposes, and keep shipping the next increment of value.

    Outputs

    4 deliverables
    • Production monitoring and incident response
    • Iteration on measured behaviour
    • Documentation kept current
    • Handover to your team whenever you choose
