Project Summary

A SaaS solution designed to digitize the work of automotive professionals, transforming their physical storefront into a personalized and accessible online page – mPage.

Challenges

How can mechanics, auto body technicians, and repair shops be found online, attract more customers, and build credibility —without relying on social media or technical knowledge?

Solution

Creation of an intuitive platform that allows the user to create their own professional page (mPage), bringing together:

List of services
Visual portfolio
Direct contact buttons (WhatsApp, social media)
Review, recommendation, and quote system
SEO optimized for Google searches

Everything is designed to be simple to use and easy to share.

Market

Vehicle maintenance generates approximately
R$67.6 billion per year in Brazil.
59 million vehicles.
241k automotive repair shops.
Components most in demand by mechanics:
Tires, brakes and suspension
Oil change
Clutch
Vehicle maintenance can consume up to 7% of the
family budget:
30% housing
25% food
7% car

Flowchart

Through research and journey mapping, I identified how automotive professionals struggle to connect with customers in a professional and scalable way. Manguo solves this by creating a guided digital flow — from data collection to instant communication — making the experience seamless for both client and provider.

Wireframe

I mapped the customer journey from the first contact to the final interaction, focusing on how automotive professionals discover, use, and benefit from the platform. This helped identify pain points and design opportunities that guided the solution.

Learnings

The Manguo project was an opportunity not only to apply design strategically but also to grow through real-world challenges in the automotive sector.Key learnings:

Adaptability: understanding how users with little digital experience interact with a simple and accessible solution.
Clarity: the importance of transforming complex processes into flows that are easy to understand and use.
Strategic vision: integrating tools and creating a seamless journey showed how design impacts not only usability but also business outcomes.

Conclusion

Throughout this project, I combined research, strategy, and design to create a solution that brings credibility and digital presence to automotive professionals without relying on social media.The next step would be to test with real users, validate assumptions, refine details, and iterate to achieve an even more effective experience.This process reinforced my belief that design should always deliver tangible impact — for both users and businesses.
