Carveto - Bristol Design

Carveto

An automotive marketplace connecting private sellers with dealerships for fair, hassle-free car sales.

The Brief

Carveto identified a gap in the automotive marketplace: private sellers often receive below-market offers when selling their vehicles directly to dealerships, while dealerships struggle to source quality used inventory directly from consumers. They envisioned a transparent platform that would benefit both parties but needed help creating a user experience that would build trust and facilitate fair transactions.

The Solution

We designed an intuitive platform with clean user flows, transparent pricing tools, and verification systems to create trust on both sides of the marketplace. The platform includes a proprietary valuation engine that provides sellers with fair market prices, a streamlined vehicle listing process with AI-enhanced photo guidance, and a reputation system for dealerships that incentivizes fair offers.

The Outcome

In its first six months, Carveto facilitated over £2.8 million in vehicle transactions, with sellers receiving an average of 12% more than traditional dealer trade-in offers. The platform has attracted 120+ verified dealerships and maintains a 4.8/5 satisfaction rating from private sellers. Conversion rates from initial valuation to completed sale have exceeded targets by 35%.
