What we built
Cruise Motors is a production-grade automotive marketplace that connects vehicle suppliers in the UAE and Europe with buyers across Africa and other emerging markets. The platform operates as a three-application ecosystem: a customer-facing website, a Laravel REST API, and an internal admin portal — covering vehicle sales, logistics, modifications, and B2B partnerships end-to-end.
The site supports advanced inventory browsing with multi-criteria filtering, B2B procurement and tender workflows, international logistics with RFQ and shipment tracking, vehicle modification services (parking sensors, armoured builds, conversions), multi-channel payments (Stripe, bank transfers, letters of credit), and content marketing through an integrated blog. Real-time chat, WhatsApp, SMS, and email keep buyers and sellers in sync, with the entire interface translated into ten languages including Arabic and Chinese.
