Development of a Secure Online Marketplace and Business Management System for Used Vehicle Traders

The traditional used vehicle industry faces issues with consumer distrust, leading to concerns about vehicle quality and transparency. Buyers require assurance that vehicles have undergone proper inspection and are accurately represented. Sellers lack centralized tools to manage deals, inventory, and customer transactions efficiently, resulting in delays and operational inefficiencies. This hampers growth and customer confidence in the marketplace.
