Business challenge

Lion Trans is a multinational company with partners in different regions. The core warehouses are in North America. In addition, the company has subsidiaries in Europe and Asia. Our client – Lion Trans Georgia – has rich experience in car shipping. To expand the range of services, the brand decided to launch an auction system. This online portal had to improve user experience, attract buyers and sellers.

Technical challenges

The whole auction process was highly complex, based on comprehensive interactions between end-users and the software solution. We had to digitalize the process of traditional auctions, ensure that key functions work seamlessly: offers, orders, cancellations. According to analysis, .NET was the most suitable option, and Lion Trans representatives agreed with it. We had to build a cloud client-side solution, as well as a back-office administration system for the company.

Solution delivered

As a result, the user-side application supports personal accounts, lots, search, the auction system itself, and integrated payments. Individuals, insurance teams, car dealers, car rental services are among key clients. They can review proposals, make and check bids, review information about cars.

The admin-side app supports data management. Dedicated employees can review information about users, lots, and the system. Administrators also verify lots. This approach improves security, helps to combat fraudulent offers. Information is stored in the database while all parts are interconnected.
