The Challenge

Where they were stuck

Buying or selling a car in Canada meant accepting a set of tradeoffs everyone hated but no one had solved. Buyers shopped locally because they had no choice — cross-country inventory was invisible, delivery was expensive or unavailable, and every transaction was gated by in-person negotiation with someone whose compensation depended on charging more. Sellers were trapped between dealer trade-ins that systematically underpriced their vehicle and private-buyer marketplaces where safety, fraud, and time-waste were the real costs.

Our Solution

What we built

We built Autobon as a complete digital buying and selling platform — inventory, financing, instant-offer engine, and logistics — engineered to replace the dealership experience entirely. Three integrated flows: the buyer-facing marketplace exposes Canada's nationwide inventory as a single catalog with transparent wholesale pricing; the seller portal compresses dealership appraisal into a two-minute VIN-based instant offer; the financing layer delivers pre-approval online with competitive national rates from multiple lender partners.
