Challenge Overview
The client of this application is Hera. They produce various financial services to consumers for improving money decisions and making the most efficient selection of service providers.
The current project relates to the Hera Autos service, and more precisely, to the "DEALER QUOTE" part of that web-site. It allows consumers to choose needed car model/make/year, get the list of car dealers selling that car and locating nearby the consumer location. Then the application sends leads to the selected dealers (with information about consumer car choice and contacts) and performs billing of dealers for delivered leads. The dealer receives the lead and deliver a quote to the consumer (like by e-mail or phone). The dealer is charged for this service, but the service is fully free to consumers.
This assembly will integrate a number of changes to the dealer matching and partner system currently in place, making it easier to track ping and post requests to various 3rd parties, as well as integrate two entirely new partners into the application and exposing functionality to a web service.
