Build Laravel Vehicle Aggregator

I need a robust, search-driven platform that pulls live inventory from independent car-dealer sites—much like Carslink.ai—so shoppers can browse every dealer’s stock in one place and then click straight through to the dealer’s own site to purchase.

Core build
• Laravel (or another modern PHP framework if you can justify it) will drive the backend.
• Data connectors must ingest XML, JSON and other open API feeds, normalise the fields, and keep each dealer’s stock in sync automatically.
• A lightning-fast search layer—Elasticsearch, Algolia or similar—should let users filter by make, model, price, mileage, fuel type and more in milliseconds.
• Every vehicle detail page needs clean, SEO-optimised URLs and metadata so listings rank individually.
• The entire front end must be mobile-first and responsive; Vue, React or plain Blade components are all acceptable if performance stays high.
• Architecture should be container-ready (Docker/Kubernetes) so we can scale horizontally as dealers or traffic grow.

Dealer portal
Dealers log in to a simple panel where they can:
- see feed status and error logs
- enable/disable vehicles manually
- set default mark-ups or promotional tags.

(If you have ideas for deeper analytics or user roles, let’s discuss.)

Scope of work / deliverables
1. Feed integration module with scheduling and real-time webhook support
2. Search API plus responsive UI components
3. Dealer management panel with auth and basic analytics
4. SEO vehicle page templates
5. Deployment scripts and concise technical documentation

Please include in your bid:
• links to any automotive, marketplace or data-aggregation projects you have shipped
• your recommended tech stack (DB, search engine, hosting)
• ballpark timeline with milestone breakdown and cost estimate

Prior experience with automotive feeds or marketplace aggregation will put you to the top of my shortlist. I’m ready to start as soon as we finalise the stack. Show More
