What is Kliv?
Kliv isn’t a car marketplace you sign up for and configure — it’s an AI app builder that builds software for you.
You describe the app you need in your own words, and Kliv builds it: the data, the rules, the screens, and the checkout. What you get is a real app that’s yours. You can use it, change it later by asking for changes, and run payments through your own Stripe account. It isn’t a template with your name on it.
On this page, that app is a used car sourcing and delivery app for your own client process. Kliv builds all kinds of web apps; this is one of them, and that’s what the rest of this page covers.
Why build your own used-car sourcing site?
A car sourcing business sells judgment and legwork. The client gives you a budget, deal-breakers, and trust, then waits while you find the right vehicle. If the process lives in voicemails, texts, and a camera roll, clients have to ask where things stand.
Kliv builds the client site where the brief, sourcing fee, shortlist, inspection media, auction result, paperwork, carrier, and driveway handover live as one record.
What the sourcing file holds
One search, one client file, with the important details visible when they matter.
Brief
Budget ceiling, body style, deal-breakers, the dog that has to fit, and delivery address become structured fields you can search against.
Shortlist
Three candidates can each carry service history, rust notes, your recommendation, and an approve-or-pass button on the client’s page.
Inspection record
Undercarriage photos, cold-start video, and scan reports are stored with the candidate car and visible only to that client.
Fee and ledger
A $495 sourcing fee can be paid at engagement through checkout on your own Stripe account. Vehicle purchase funds still move outside the app, while the app records the steps.
Delivery leg
Carrier, pickup date, driveway appointment, handover checklist, signature, and final photo stay on the client file.
An example: Emeka’s Corolla search
Here’s how one sourcing business might use it. It’s only an example — you would describe your own client brief, fee, shortlist, inspection, payment, and delivery rules.
The client brief opens the search
A client asks for a one-owner wagon under $21,400 with no salt-belt history and room for two kids and a dog. The $495 sourcing fee is paid at checkout, and the search opens as a record.
The shortlist gives the client real choices
Nine days later, Emeka posts three cars with inspection photos, cold-start videos, scan reports, and plain notes. The client approves candidate two from their own page.
The auction result is visible quickly
Emeka wins the wagon under the agreed ceiling. The client’s page changes to purchased and shows the hammer price.
Paperwork becomes checklist items
Title, odometer statement, and transport booking each have a status. The client can see what is done without sending another text.
Delivery closes the file with proof
The carrier drops the wagon at the driveway. The handover checklist, signature, and final photo are stored on the search file.
Describe the sourcing service you want
Kliv builds from your description, so the more detail you give, the closer the first version. Include brief fields, fees, shortlist rules, inspection media, milestones, and delivery. Here are three to build on:
Car sourcing service
Briefs, fees, shortlists, and delivery tracking.
“Build a client site for my used car sourcing service. Clients should submit budget ceiling, body style, deal-breakers, and delivery address; pay a $495 sourcing fee at checkout; review shortlists with inspection photos, cold-start videos, and scan reports; approve or pass on candidates; and track status through driveway delivery.”
Enthusiast import finder
Rare cars with long timelines and port updates.
“Build an import-finder site where collectors post a want list for rare cars, pay a $750 search deposit, follow auction, shipping, customs, and compliance milestones, and get photo updates at each port.”
Fleet van sourcing
Businesses buying several vehicles.
“Build a portal for my commercial van sourcing service where businesses submit specs for multiple vans, approve shortlists, track each vehicle from auction to their yard, and download a final delivery packet for each van.”
Client visibility from brief to delivery
Each client sees one search: theirs. Access rules scope briefs, shortlists, and inspection files to the client’s own login. Two clients chasing similar cars stay invisible to each other.
The sourcing fee is paid up front. The $495 engagement can be a one-time purchase in the catalog: card in, receipt out, search open. If a search comes up empty, a refund can wait for your approval.
Milestones send their own updates. “Shortlist posted,” “won at auction,” and “carrier booked” can email the client from the file itself.
A car with no lot behind it is direct-to-consumer at its most trust-heavy. The selling-direct trade is the wider version of this playbook.
Common questions
What exactly is Kliv?
Kliv is an AI app builder that builds custom web apps from a description. For used car sourcing, it can build client briefs, fee checkout, shortlists, inspection media, milestones, delivery tracking, and admin screens.
Do I get a real app, or a template?
A real app. Kliv builds the data, screens, access rules, checkout, and client portal for your sourcing process.
Can I change it after it’s built?
Yes. You can change brief fields, fee amounts, shortlist stages, inspection requirements, or delivery milestones later by asking.
How do clients pay, and for what?
The sourcing fee can go through checkout on your own Stripe account with an automatic receipt. The vehicle purchase itself still happens through the auction house or dealer, while the app records the steps.
Can a client see other people’s searches?
No. Each brief, shortlist, media file, and status page is scoped to its own client.
What if a search comes up empty?
You can close the file with the candidates considered and why they failed. If your policy calls for a fee refund, the refund can wait for approval.
Can it handle inspection media?
Yes. Photos, video, and scan reports can live in the file store and remain private to the search they belong to.
Do clients need Stripe accounts?
No. Clients pay by card. Stripe is how the sourcing fee reaches your account.
Can milestone emails send automatically?
Yes. Status changes such as shortlist posted, auction won, and carrier booked can send client emails on your templates.
Can the delivery handover be signed on a phone?
Yes. The delivery leg can include a phone-friendly checklist, signature, and final photo.
Can I move off Kliv later?
Yes. The app’s code syncs to your own Git repository.
Do I need a separate client portal?
No. The sourcing site is the client portal and the admin system in one app.
