Estonians Create Car Selection Programme

Estonians have invented a web-based car selection programme that helps the user find a suitable car by offering suggestions on the basis of a few questions the user has answered.

In order to get a suggestion from the Carfits.me programme, the user must answer some multiple-choice questions and describe his needs and habits as well as plans for using the car. Using this information, the system offers a selection of models. The user can select the best choice and a few clicks later can ask for a price quote.

Chief executive of Carfi OÜ Alar Võrk, who created the system's algorithm, stated that 10 000 work hours were invested into the development of the system and that there is interest in the programme in both Estonia and abroad.

Initially the platform was launched in Estonia and there are plans to move to the Czech and Polish markets within this year. Next year the company plans to expand to Scandinavia and Germany, which is the biggest car market in Europe.

Carfi OÜ is owned by Svenska Handelsbanken AB, automotive industry entrepreneur Raido Toonekurg, and Rain Epler.
