The challenge

Car owners in the UAE juggle separate channels for spare parts, mechanics, and car-wash bookings. There was no single, trustworthy place to find vetted providers and compare them quickly.

We needed to ship a polished consumer app on both iOS and Android at the same time, on a startup budget, without splitting the team into two native codebases.

Our approach

  1. 1

    Discovery and product scoping

    We mapped the core user journeys (find a part, find a shop, book a wash) and cut the first release to the smallest set of features that delivered real value, so we could launch fast and learn.

  2. 2

    One codebase, two platforms

    We built the app in React Native so a single team could ship to the App Store and Google Play in parallel, keeping the design and feature set consistent across both.

  3. 3

    Location-first experience

    We integrated maps and location so users see nearby providers first, with categories, search, and clear listings tuned for fast scanning on mobile.

  4. 4

    Launch and store publishing

    We handled the full release: store assets, review submissions, and the production backend, then iterated on feedback after going live.

The results

Spartlic launched on both stores in 2022 as a single product covering multiple automotive service categories, validating the marketplace model with a lean, maintainable codebase.

Because the app runs from one React Native codebase, every new feature ships to iOS and Android together, keeping ongoing maintenance cost low.
