ABOUT THE CLIENT
A modern operating system for automotive businesses
Carlane was created for businesses that buy, restore and sell vehicles. Instead of managing operations through spreadsheets, notebooks and chat messages, the platform centralises every vehicle, expense and workflow inside one system.
CHALLENGE
Replacing scattered notes with real business visibility
Many vehicle traders and restoration workshops still manage operations using Excel files, paper notes and messaging apps. Purchase costs, repair expenses and parts are recorded in different places - or not recorded at all. Without accurate data it's difficult to know how much capital is invested, how profitable each vehicle really is or where money is being lost. The goal was to build a system that gives owners complete financial visibility without making data entry complicated.
APPROACH
Managing a business should be as simple as sending a message
Instead of forcing users into complicated ERP software, we designed a product that fits naturally into the way automotive businesses already work. The web application provides complete financial control; Telegram becomes the fastest way to update information from anywhere.
Research, product architecture, user flows and feature planning.
Visual identity, product language and marketing website carlane.lt.
Vehicle management, financial dashboards, repair tracking, parts, expenses and team collaboration.
Voice-powered assistant, notifications and daily business summaries.
MARKETING WEBSITE
Leading with the core promise - know your numbers
The landing page opens with the platform's clearest value - knowing exactly how much every car makes you - paired with a live financial breakdown card showing a real Tesla Model 3 example.
LIVE BUSINESS DASHBOARD
What you see the moment you log in
The dashboard opens on Capital in Play - a single number combining every active investment - next to current profit and average progress. Below it: active, in-repair, ready-for-sale and sold counts, plus the live vehicle list.
Dashboard - Capital in Play, statuses, tasks, calendar and fleet
VEHICLE MANAGEMENT
Every vehicle has its own financial story
Each vehicle carries its purchase price, repair costs, parts, expenses, estimated profit, status and complete activity history. Instead of calculating profitability manually, users always know the true financial position of every project.
Cars list - statuses, VIN, expected profit and progress per vehicle
TELEGRAM ASSISTANT
Manage your business without opening the dashboard
A user holds to record: "Please add headlights for Tesla, 50 euro." The bot transcribes it, understands the intent and logs it as a part - instantly, with no forms and no duplicate work.
Voice message → transcript → automatic part entry, all inside Telegram
PARTNER BALANCE
Who invested how much, in what
The Balance page tracks exactly how much each partner has put in - per person and per vehicle - so ownership and returns stay transparent as the business scales.
Partner balance - Daniel €37.820, Victor €18.560, total invested €56.380

Expert Insight
Victor
CEO
Most automotive businesses don't have a sales problem - they have a visibility problem. When expenses live in notebooks, chats and spreadsheets, profit becomes a guess. Carlane was designed to turn every repair, every purchase and every euro into live business intelligence.
OUTCOME
One operating system for the entire automotive business
Carlane brings together vehicle management, financial tracking, repair workflows, team collaboration and Telegram automation inside a single platform. From the public website to the web application and AI-powered Telegram assistant, every part of the product was designed and built as one cohesive ecosystem.
