# You tell us what sells. We build it. **Short answer:** At Auto Power Search no product team decides alone what gets built. You send a feature request, we call you to understand it, and you get a date for it. Features cost you nothing extra — they are not a cost factor, they are the reason the platform keeps getting better. Most platforms ask you once a year how satisfied you are. We ask you what we should build next. ## We listen We want to be different from the big marketplaces. Not with another feature list, but with the thing they structurally lack: someone on the other end. So we look for personal contact with you. Your experience counts. Your requirements count. What you need day to day, you know better than any product team in an open-plan office. Not what we think is best. What you know sells. ## Why we stopped cutting the «nice to have» pile Software development has an old habit. Requests go on two piles: must have and nice to have. The first pile gets built. The second is ruled too expensive and disappears. Yet that second pile almost always holds the things that really change your working day. The small step that saves you ten minutes per car. The field that is called something else in your business. The export your accounting expects. We dropped the split. A request is not worth less because it is small. ## What an open roadmap actually means Open does not mean we publish a list and leave you standing next to it. Open means your request really enters the planning, and you learn what becomes of it. - Your request reaches a person. Not a ticket in an anonymous queue, but someone who knows your business. - We ask back. Before we build anything, we want to understand the problem behind it. The best solution is often not the one described first. - You get an answer, even when it is «later». An honest date is worth more than a polite silence. - You see the result. When your request goes live, we tell you. This is not a promise to be kept some day. It is exactly how we work with the dealers who are already with us. ## Tell us what you are missing One sentence is enough. You do not have to write a specification — that part is our job. ## What is already finished So you can judge what a request builds on, here is where the platform stands. ### The newest buyer features no other marketplace has - A complete online car sales process - Technical jargon translated into plain words - Negative search, so buyers can rule out what they do not want - Gamification through a new «Swipe it or Like it!» mode - Hand the search over to an AI agent - Sortable favourites - Configurable search profiles per account - A configurable table view for comparing cars - Full-screen display of every vehicle photo - Fully integrated chat between buyer and dealer - …and many more small, useful touches ### Listing and maintaining your inventory - Bulk upload from Excel or CSV - DMS connection over API, so your inventory stays in sync - Automatic data checks that flag missing or implausible entries - Duplicate detection across the whole inventory - An approval overview for listings without a chassis number ### Buyer contact in one place - A chat centre with every enquiry and the customer details - Test-drive bookings including appointment confirmation - Purchase intents through to handover, with contract and payment documents - A customer directory with PDF or Excel export - Reviews you can answer in public ### Understanding your visibility - Per-vehicle analysis: page rank, views, favourites, comparisons and more - Search analysis: which criteria buyers use to find your cars - A vehicle score for image, data and price quality - A search and purchase index: what gets searched most, and what sells right now ### Costs you can recalculate - Price Shield: CHF 3 per car per month when nothing happens - A full overview of customer activity and the costs tied to it - A monthly ceiling that scales with your fleet size - An invoice with every single line item, traceable instead of lump sum - During the founding phase: no cost at all, not even the base fee ### Your business - A public dealer page with your profile, team and reviews - User management with roles for your staff - An activity index that shows how active you and your staff are - Support with a complete ticket history ### What buyers get — and what it does for your cars - Quick search, detailed search and gamified swipe discovery - Delegated AI search - Commission AI search agents that look for new listings over 3, 6 or 9 months - A native architecture that lets ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude and other AI agents find your cars ## The next step Take one thing that annoyed you this week. A small thing will do. Send it to us through the form above. We come back to you and ask. After that you know when it arrives. Not louder. Just smarter — and together with you. ## FAQ **How do I submit a feature request?** Through the form in this article. If you would rather talk, or you are already in touch with us, the contact page works too: /en-ch/support **How long does it take to build?** That depends on the request. As soon as it reaches us we come back to you to understand it properly. Only then do we name a date — and that date holds. **Does this raise the cost of the platform?** No. Features are not a cost factor for us, they are a gain in usability. Our goal is a smooth experience for buyers and the tools that let you sell more. We charge no premium for that.
