Festi Boosts Automotive E-commerce: Case Study

A startup launched by a car dealer in Illinois, USA, aimed to develop a global automotive e-commerce platform to revolutionize online car sales for dealers across the entire United States.

The primary challenge was the lack of robust automotive e-commerce solutions in existing dealership websites, which limited customer engagement and online sales.

By implementing Festi's scalable framework, we successfully transformed their platform into a comprehensive online store, enabling seamless transactions and real-time data analytics, significantly boosting online sales and enhancing customer insights.
