In the competitive business environment, there is an enormous effort being exerted by different companies to rise to the top having beaten the rivals. In order to achieve this objective traditional marketing mix has some limitations. In order to achieve competitive advantage over the others, companies have to adopt new marketing strategies. In that, web presence is of utmost important and it plays an important role. In this project we tried to automate automobile business using web technologies for competitive advantage. In this business scenario web users and automobile dealers do the business on the web. This portal supports search and advance search of the automobiles, compare automobile details for web users and dealer registration, publish vehicle details, and define vehicle packages for vehicle for vehicle dealers. Portal administrator is the third user type which can administrate the portal. Before the web presence, all the companies have to do some analysis. In these scenario strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threat (SWOT) analysis is very much important. Having done the initial investigations and analysis, company has to undergo a transformation process. This is called eTransformation process. In this project also the client company needed do introduce some innovation in selling auto mobile vehicle to its customers. Therefore they came up with a business model in which that they can sell their vehicles in the portal itself and other sellers can also go through this solution and do their business as well. The client is charging from them for publishing the vehicles on the web and for advertising. Object Oriented Analysis and Design Methodology were used in the analysis and design phases of the project. Unified Modelling Language (UML) diagrams were used to communicate with the client to avoid ambiguity and misunderstandings.
