  2. Collection and normalization

  • The task

    A buyer looks for a car on several platforms in different countries at once. Prices are in different currencies, descriptions are in different languages, and the same model goes by different names. The only way to tell whether a price is good is to compare dozens of listings by hand.

    FINDCAR needed one product that pulls listings from these platforms into a single catalog, puts them into a uniform format and helps people choose. It answers a question asked in plain words and shows right away whether a car's price is low or high. The SHARK DEV team built all of it, from the server to the mobile app.

    Before

    • Listings scattered across platforms in different countries
    • Prices in different currencies, descriptions in different languages
    • Whether a price is good: only by comparing by hand

    After

    • One catalog in a uniform format
    • Prices in one currency, descriptions in one language
    • Whether a price is good: visible right in the feed

What we did

  • Collecting and normalizing listings

    The server collects listings from platforms in dozens of countries. It puts makes, models, generations and specifications into a uniform format, converts prices to dollars and translates descriptions.

  • Catalog and search

    Filters by country, city, platform, make, model and generation. Saved searches you can share by link. A listing page with specifications, options and a link to the original.

  • AI assistant

    It understands a request in plain language, such as "a family crossover under a set price, no more than a few years old", and picks matching options from the catalog. Available to registered users.

  • Price analytics

    Every listing gets a "low", "average" or "high" price label, based on a comparison with similar offers, so a good deal is visible right in the feed.

  • Favorites and notifications

    Collections and favorites, plus notifications about new listings that match a saved search and about price changes.

  • Web version and mobile app

    The interface is in Russian and English, with light and dark themes, and can be installed on a phone's home screen. The mobile app is ready and waiting to be published in the app stores.

  • The result

    • One catalog instead of dozens of platforms: listings from different countries in one format, prices in one currency, descriptions in one language.
    • Buyers see whether a price is good right in the feed, before they go to the platform.
    • Listing pages are open to search engines: a sitemap and product markup on every listing.
    • The product is live and still growing: the feed updates throughout the day, and the mobile app is ready to publish.

    Figures and features are from the public pages of carfast.ai, October 2026.

What it looks like

  • The Carfast AI catalog for a signed-in user: filters by country, city, sources, make, model and generation, a feed of the latest listings with "high price" and "low price" labels, prices in the platform's currency and in dollars
    The catalog: filters by country, platform, make and model. Listings carry "high" and "low" price labels, with the price in the platform's currency and in dollars
  • The Carfast AI assistant panel next to the catalog: a plain-words request for a family crossover with limits on price, year and transmission, answered with a selection of cars with prices, a button to show all results and refinement chips: used, all-wheel drive, from a dealer
    The AI assistant: a request in plain words, a selection of cars with prices, a "show all results" button and one-tap refinements
  • A Carfast AI listing page: photo gallery, price in som and in dollars with a price-drop label, location, the buttons "View at source", "Collection" and "Save", and a block offering help with purchase and delivery
    A listing page: price in the platform's currency and in dollars, a price-change label, a link to the original, collections, and help with purchase and delivery
