Vehicle Room
Vroom is a car marketplace for Kenya: buyers search, compare and save cars, check a price guide, book test drives and message dealers; dealers manage their stock, enquiries and spare parts, and pay for plans and featured listings with Paystack.

Overview
The problem and the fix
The challenge
Buying a car online means hunting across scattered listings with no fair way to compare cars or know a fair price, while dealers juggle enquiries across phone calls and chats.
What I built
One marketplace where buyers search, compare, check a price guide and book test drives, and dealers run their stock, enquiries, spare parts and billing from one dashboard.
