PerecupPro App

The PerecupPro client-server mobile application is designed for current car salesmen from America and Europe, as well as for resellers. This application allows you to manage the time and finances involved in preparing cars for resale. Just a few steps: add a car, pay for the preparation of the car for sale and sell it. All data is automatically summarised and stored in the archive.

Mobile application architecture

PerecupPro is a mobile client-server application consisting of a single client application for Android and iOS platforms. To use the application, the client part is installed on a mobile device. It communicates with the server part of the application via web services.

The mobile application has three parts:

• Multi-platform client-side application (iOS, Android).
• Server (contains web services that handle requests from client applications and deliver the content of the services to them).
• Database (used to directly store the content of the services. If the required information is already contained in the sources to which access is provided, the API of these remote resources is used to provide the required functionality).

Implementation technology: cross-platform JS framework – React Native Framework for developing full versions (with interpretation of all functionality) of applications for Android and iOS platforms.

Technology: NodeJS (Express / Koa), React Native (TypeScript), MongoDB, OneSignal API, FireBase API, Apple Pay, Google Pay for subscriptions.

Admin Panel

The administrator must be able to manage the application and edit and view data. A system of control functions is implemented:

• View the list of users.
• View user profile information.
• View cars added by other users.
• View user auto data.
• Edit the list of car makes and types.

Client-side application

The main purpose of the automotive mobile application is to simplify and improve the user’s interaction with the revenue-expenditure accounting system, as well as to attract and increase the target audience (CA). The user should be able to easily track the profit of the sold car. They need to log into the system, add a new car, pay for its maintenance and add sales data. In this way, the user can see all the financial costs and estimate the profit.

After selecting a category, the user enters the desired amount in a specific currency and leaves a comment. The amount can be entered in any secondary currency. In each category, the total cost of conversion to the base currency is displayed. The user adds the primary and secondary currencies in the settings. The profit is automatically calculated from the sum of all car maintenance costs and the cost of selling the car.

Mobile application functionality:

• Registration/Authorisation
• Add a car
• Add all car data
• Choice of currencies
• Introduction of costs
• Currency conversion
• Adding sales value
• Automatic profit calculation
• Monthly and annual statistics
• User history

Results of the work

We met all the requirements for the application: creating an attractive design, developing a simple and clear interface and an efficient programme architecture, which allowed us to attract and increase the target audience.

The mobile application is currently operating successfully, helping users to make the process of managing their automotive business more efficient. For Kit Global, the project was a valuable experience. This case is an example of successful and fast implementation of a mobile application for both the development team and our customers.
