Overview & Scope
Developed VahanPe, a progressive web application designed to consolidate essential automotive tools, vehicle valuation models, and physical inspection workflows under a hand-crafted portal.
Automotive Services & Progressive Web App
Prior to VahanPe, car buyers and sellers had to navigate disjointed platforms to check vehicle history, request vehicle inspections, or estimate market valuations. VahanPe solves this by unifying these tools:
- Real-Time VIN Decoding: Implements a database-backed VIN decoder that parses standard 17-digit vehicle identification numbers in real-time, fetching model details and manufacturing histories.
- Used Car Valuation Engine: Leverages custom algorithms to estimate market values. The algorithm takes variables like vehicle age, mileage, wear-and-tear levels, and current market trends into account to output dynamic pricing suggestions.
- On-Ground Inspection Portal: Integrates a vehicle inspection workflow. Users can book third-party inspects, coordinate scheduling, and receive structured digital checklists showing paint, body, and engine conditions.
- Progressive Web App (PWA) Enablement: Built from scratch using custom PHP and CSS (avoiding resource-heavy website builders) and configured with service workers. This enables offline access, local data caching, and a responsive native-app experience on mobile devices.
Core Deliverables
- Custom VIN Decoder parsing manufacturer specifications, historical data, and model parameters in real-time.
- Vehicle Inspection coordinator offering structured evaluation checksheets for damage and condition reports.
- Used Car Price Estimator using pricing algorithms to evaluate car valuations based on mileage, wear, and age.
- Progressive Web App (PWA) configuration with service workers for reliable offline caching and native mobile usage.
- Lead Management Admin Panel for platform operators to track inspections and buyer inquiries.
