The task
Anyone selling a car in Switzerland has to copy out two dozen technical details when creating a listing: power, displacement, transmission, drivetrain, body, consumption. It is all in the vehicle registration document, and it all has to be typed into the form by hand — where a transposed digit ends up in the listing unchecked. On top of that, a Swiss marketplace cannot get by with a single language.
The solution
A marketplace where a listing takes shape in six manageable steps. The seller enters the type approval number from the registration document and the site fills in the technical fields itself, drawing on an imported dataset from the Federal Roads Office. Alongside that: image uploads with a staging area, public dealer profiles with reviews, and subscription plans paid for online.
The technology
Laravel 13 on PHP 8.3, payments through Stripe. The official type data is imported once and then lives in the site's own database, so the lookup by type approval number needs no third-party service and keeps working when that service does not answer. On a phone, the site can be added to the home screen like an app.
The result
Six steps instead of one long form — and the technical details come from an official source rather than from memory. German, English, French and Italian are maintained with the same body of text; no language is second class. The test suite runs before every release, and if a test fails, nothing ships.
