Description
Carvi is a platform where consumers buy new cars though an auction amongst dealerships.
Customers can discover car specs, receive quotes and make reservations online for their desired car. Carvi´s goal is to deliver a simple, quick and transparent car buying experience by making sure there are no hidden costs or changes to the agreed terms.
From the car dealer perspective, Carvi is an easy way to receive free digital leads through a custom made App. Dealerships anonymously quote their stock to each customer in real time, and only pay Carvi if one of their cars is sold.
Carvi.com saves time for customers who wish to know the availability and price of a car without having to call or visit several dealerships and negotiate with sales reps.
Customer Journey:
1. Sign in to carvi.com and browse cars and specs in the catalogue
2. Select a car, preferred colors and payment method as well as a search area (which defines participant dealerships)
3. Receive offers from dealerships and make an online reservation for the selected car
4. Receive Carvi follow up support to ensure compliance with car price, color and delivery dates, therefore avoiding surprises in the process.
Latin America´s digital platforms in the automotive industry are mainly focused on publicity based revenue streams.

On the supply side, dealers are used to paying for publicity of their cars in digital marketplaces that charge a fee regardless of the sales outcome. Carvi only receives a fee when cars are sold, representing a win-win relationship.
