Motorcycles, accessories and repair shop · Linares

Eighteen hundred products no one could browse.

A motorcycle shop with 41 models and 1,889 parts had the whole inventory and no way into it. Now you start with where you are going to ride, not with the brand.

What was the problem?

The process that had to go.

“A customer asks about a bike, but what they are really asking is whether it will work for what they want to do.”

The catalog lived on Instagram and in the salesperson's head. Someone who wanted a bike asked for the price of a model they had seen, without knowing if it suited how they would use it. Comparing two options meant opening two posts and remembering the numbers for each one.

What kept breaking

  • Forty-one models and no way to filter them by what people actually ask.
  • One thousand eight hundred eighty-nine parts no one could see. If they are not seen, they are not sold.
  • Comparing two bikes was a matter of memory.
  • The repair shop had nowhere to take a booking request.
  • Everything came in through private messages, and nothing was kept on record.

What was decided?

The decision.Sort the catalog by use, where are you going to ride, and not by brand or engine size.

The first screen is not a grid of models. It is three questions: terrain, budget and engine size. Someone who knows exactly what they want skips the filter and goes to the catalog. Someone who does not know, which is most people, still ends up with a short list they can compare.

What I ruled out, and why

  • Selling online with payment

    A motorcycle is something you look at, try and talk about. The site exists so that people walk into the shop already knowing which one they want, not to replace the visit.

What was built?

It opens by asking where you are going to ride. It is the first question the salesperson asks in the shop, put on the first screen.

    Three questions, not a grid

    Terrain, budget and engine size. Someone who knows nothing about bikes still ends up with a short list.

Engine size, weight and price on the same card, with the option to compare without leaving the list.

    What decides it, on the card

    976 cc, 440 kg, $9,490,000. You do not have to open the details page to rule a bike out.

Comparison, with three bikes in it — Proride

03

Comparison, with three bikes in it

Up to three models side by side, with the rows that differ highlighted. It is the decision that used to be made from memory.

  1. 1
    Only what differs is marked

    “Price · DIFFERS · $9,495,000”. The rows that match stay quiet. The ones that differ stand out.

It asks for the bike's details and the problem. The note saying it is a request is there on purpose.

  1. 1
    It tells the truth about what it is

    “This is a request, not a confirmed booking.” Promising a time the shop cannot guarantee costs more than saying so.

  • Accessories catalog by categoryWhat it removes

    1,889 parts no one could see. Twelve categories with their real counts: 565 helmets, 439 lubricants, 180 tires.

  • Fixed bar for bikes, repair shop and WhatsAppWhat it removes

    Losing the person who came for one thing and wanted another. The three doors into the business are always on screen.

  • Prices marked as a guideWhat it removes

    Complaints about an outdated price. The site says prices are confirmed with the quote, because that is the truth.

What happens on its own

  • The catalog is built from a single product spreadsheet. Adding stock does not mean touching the site.
  • Accessory categories count their own products.
  • The repair shop request arrives on WhatsApp already written out, with the bike's details.

What changed?

What changed.

The full inventory went from being scattered across posts to something you can browse in three taps.

  • You start with how you will use the bike, not the brand, which is how people ask before they have chosen.
  • The 1,889 accessories now exist for Google and for the customer.
  • The repair shop gets requests with the bike's details already written.
  • Comparing two models no longer depends on the salesperson's memory.

What is still missing

I still need to measure how many shop visits come from the site.

And everything else.8 more screens from the same system.
