Digital eCommerce Ecosystem for A Leading Automotive Manufacturer

Led a development responsible for a micro-front end within a highly customizable and scalable digital eCommerce platform for a leading automotive group to enable digital sales.

My team's micro-front end took care of the search, product list, and product detail page of a scalable eCommerce solution. The micro-front end was based on a micro-front end that allowed our clients to connect their PIM system and implement their CI on top of our customizable design system.

Online Lead Journey for An Electric Vehicle

Led a product team responsible for the implementation of a new online lead journey for the first full-electric vehicle of a well-known automative brand.

The online journey was the first that sent qualified leads from a vehicle online configurator to the dealership. The dealer then could follow up on the leads and initialize the sales process. The lead journey replaced an existing one with an improved version that collects more information from the customer, such as delivery method, leasing model, and extras.

The software connected the configurator with an existing system on the dealer side.

Connected Device App for Android

Led the development team that was responsible for a a connected-device app that let customers control their vehicle with their Android smartphone.

The app lets users connect their smartphones with their vehicles. After successful registration, the user can control functionalities (e.g., control A/C and charging speed of their vehicle) and access vehicle data.
