Precision 4x4

Precision 4x4 sold parts and serviced 4WDs in person, with nothing online. They needed two things that worked as one.

First, an ecommerce store so customers could browse and buy without coming in. Second, a companion app that did more than mirror the shop: a place where a customer's own vehicles, their workshop bookings and their service history lived against their account.

The store and the app had to run off the same backend and the same login, so a customer is the same customer whether they are on the website or the phone in their pocket.

Anytech built the storefront on SilverStripe CMS: product browsing, cart, checkout, customer accounts, Stripe payments and shipping. A straight, dependable online store for a business selling online for the first time.

The companion app is React Native, on Android and iOS, built on the same backend and the same account as the website. That shared account is what ties the two together. A customer signs in once and their cart, orders and details follow them across both.

On top of the shop, the app adds the parts a 4WD workshop actually needs:

• A vehicle garage. Customers store their own 4WDs against their account: make, model, year, rego, VIN and a photo.
• Workshop bookings. Customers book the workshop for service, tied to a specific vehicle in their garage.
• Service records. Booking and service history stays in the app, against the right vehicle.

Garage to booking to record. One flow, one account.

Precision 4x4 has an online storefront where there was none. A workshop that only sold in person now takes orders and payments online, with accounts, cart and shipping all handled in the one store.

The companion app gives customers one place for their 4WDs, their bookings and their service history, all on the account they already shop with. A customer adds a vehicle, books it in for service and keeps the record, without leaving the app or signing in again. For Precision 4x4, the bookings and vehicle details come through tied to a real customer and a real vehicle from the start.
