Cars.co.za: Faster performance, lower costs, and happier users with a unified app.

We helped Cars.co.za, one of South Africa’s leading vehicle marketplaces, consolidate their entire app ecosystem into a single, scalable platform. The result was faster updates, smoother UX, lower costs, and happier users across the board.

WHY THEY APPROACHED US

Cars.co.za came to us as part of a broader strategy to modernise their entire digital ecosystem.

This project, rebuilding their native apps, was one piece of that puzzle. At the time, their Android, iOS and web platforms were being run separately, making updates slow, costly and inconsistent.

They needed a unified solution that could simplify their stack, scale with their growth, and improve the experience for every user.

WHAT WE DID

We partnered with the Cars.co.za team to rebuild everything from the ground up as one unified cross-platform app.

With a fresh UX and tighter infrastructure, the new product is easier to maintain, faster to update and delivers a consistent experience across every device.
