The Challenge
Kirti Automobiles - Auto Spare Parts App
Before partnering with WebMonks, Kirti Automobiles faced significant challenges with their existing digital infrastructure. The legacy system was struggling to keep pace with growing user demands, leading to performance bottlenecks and lost opportunities. Key stakeholders recognized that without a fundamental shift in approach, the platform would continue to fall behind competitors.
- Legacy infrastructure unable to handle increasing traffic and user concurrency
- Slow page load times driving up bounce rates and reducing conversions
- Lack of automated testing leading to frequent regressions after each release
- Fragmented codebase making it difficult for new developers to contribute
Our Approach
Designing the Solution
Our team designed a comprehensive solution built on React Native, Laravel, MySQL, Firebase. We took an agile approach, delivering working increments every two weeks while maintaining close collaboration with the Kirti Automobiles team. Each sprint ended with a review session, ensuring the product stayed aligned with business goals and user expectations throughout the build.
Key Technical Decisions
- Adopted a modular architecture to enable independent scaling of key services
- Implemented server-side rendering for critical landing pages to improve initial load performance
- Built a comprehensive CI/CD pipeline with automated testing at every stage
- Introduced real-time monitoring and alerting to catch issues before users are affected
Full Story
Project Overview
Project Summary
We built a mobile application for Kirti Automobiles, an automotive parts supplier established in 1975 with nearly 50 years of experience. Located at Sunrise Estate, near Sanand-Ujala Cross Roads, Ahmedabad, they supply engine components, transmission parts, braking systems, trailer parts, fasteners, and tools. Industry: Logistics & Automotive.
Client Goal
Kirti Automobiles wanted to digitize the traditionally complex process of finding the right spare parts. Mechanics and vehicle owners needed a faster way to search parts by number, check vehicle compatibility, and order with home delivery — instead of flipping through thick paper catalogs and calling multiple dealers.
Key Problems
- Finding correct parts required matching part numbers, vehicle models, and compatibility — done via paper catalogs
- Mechanics had to call multiple dealers to check availability and pricing
- Broad product range — alternators, fuel systems, clutch/gear parts, braking systems, trailer axles, bearings, filters, tools — needed organized search
- No home delivery system despite customer demand
Our Solution
We built a React Native app with part number lookup, vehicle compatibility checker, real-time inventory status, dealer network integration, and order management. The app includes home delivery through a Porter partnership, making it easy for mechanics to get parts delivered to their workshop.
What We Built
- Part number lookup with instant search across the full catalog
- Vehicle compatibility checker to match parts to specific models
- Product categories — engines, transmission, braking, trailers, fasteners, tools, bearings, oils, filters, generators, tires
- Home delivery integration through Porter partnership
- Order management with status tracking
Key Features
- Real-time inventory status and competitive pricing display
- Push notifications for order updates
- Contact support (+91 9427666557, support@kirtiautomobiles.com)
- Authorized service station integration for installation support
Results
- Parts lookup time reduced from hours (phone calls) to seconds (digital search)
- Home delivery through Porter opened a new convenience channel for mechanics
- Dealer network integration improved order fulfillment speed
- Digital catalog replaced paper catalogs for the majority of regular customers
Client Feedback
"In 50 years of business we've never had anything like this. Our mechanics find parts in seconds and get them delivered to their workshop. It's changed how we do business."
The Results
Measurable Impact
The new platform delivered immediate, measurable impact across every key metric. Page load times dropped by 65%, user engagement increased by 40%, and the system has maintained 99.9% uptime since launch. These improvements translated directly into higher conversion rates and a noticeable reduction in support tickets.
Performance improvement across core user flows, with average page load times dropping from 4.2 seconds to under 1.4 seconds.
Reduction in infrastructure costs through optimized resource utilization and intelligent caching strategies.
Uptime maintained since the initial launch, with zero unplanned outages during the first six months of operation.
From kickoff to production launch, including discovery, design, development, and a phased rollout to all users.
WebMonks delivered exactly what we needed - a scalable, performant platform that our team can build on for years to come. Their expertise and communication throughout the project was exceptional. We never felt in the dark, and the results speak for themselves.

What We Learned
Key Takeaways
Start with user research
Assumptions are expensive. We invested two weeks in user interviews and analytics review before writing a single line of code, and it shaped every decision that followed.
Automated testing catches bugs before users do
A robust test suite gave us the confidence to ship frequently. We caught three critical regressions in staging that would have caused downtime in production.
Progressive rollouts reduce launch risk
By rolling out to 10% of users first, we identified and resolved a caching edge case that only appeared under real-world traffic patterns.
Post-launch monitoring is not optional
Setting up dashboards and alerts from day one meant we caught a memory leak within hours of launch, well before it could impact the user experience.

Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Every project is unique, but the patterns and expertise we develop are transferable. We start each engagement with a discovery phase to understand your specific needs, constraints, and goals. From there, we craft a tailored solution that draws on our experience across dozens of successful projects.
This project was completed in approximately 8 to 12 weeks from kickoff to launch. Timeline varies based on scope, complexity, and how quickly decisions are made on the client side. We provide detailed estimates during our discovery phase so there are no surprises.
We selected a modern tech stack tailored to the project requirements. The specific technologies are listed in the Tech Stack section above. Our team evaluates each project individually and recommends the tools that best fit the performance, scalability, and maintainability requirements.
Yes. We provide post-launch support packages that include uptime monitoring, bug fixes, performance optimization, and feature development. Most of our clients continue working with us long after launch because we understand their platform inside and out.
