You tell us what sells. We build it.
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.

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.
