Project description:
"Full-Scale UAE Used Car Marketplace + Intelligence Platform (Phase-Based, Long-Term Project)

Project Overview

We are building and scaling a UAE-based used car marketplace with the public positioning:

“1 Website = All Cars in UAE”

The platform is already live with core marketplace functionality implemented.
This project is about strengthening, expanding, and scaling the system into a complete automobile marketplace and intelligence platform.

This is a serious, long-term project and will be executed strictly in phases.
We are not looking to build everything at once.
