In an effort to cater to vehicle owners looking for quality and affordable new and spare auto parts in the country, the chief executive officer (CEO) of iCafé, Caesar Morris, has unveiled a new online platform just for that.

The platform, www.banjoomotors.com, is a community service marketplace designed to help vehicle owners to easily buy vehicle parts from anywhere in the country. It also provides assistance with the vehicle registration/driver’s license application process as well as other useful information relating to vehicles.

According to Morris, the launch of the online spare parts platform is expected to solve and eliminate some of the challenges previously faced by vehicle owners when procuring genuine spare parts in Liberia.

Morris, who is a renowned information technologist, said currently there is no online auto part store in Liberia.

“Their inventory is not known by the public so vehicle owners’ mechanics go door-to-door looking for needed vehicle parts. Those are some of the contributing factors to traffic congestion in this city.

“As a company we thought it was important to help enhance the auto parts market by streamlining the vehicle parts search process using information technology.

“We want to make buying vehicle parts in Liberia easy and effective, thereby helping to reduce traffic congestion and give vehicle owners the competitive advantage on price and quality,” said Morris.

How the system works

Morris said vehicle owners can log on to the www.banjoomotors.com website from their mobile phones or computers and complete the auto part order form.

After completing the form, Morris said the system then sends the vehicle owner’s request to all auto parts dealers via WhatsApp, adding, “Now anyone can easily find vehicle parts in Liberia using their smart phone or computer.”

The auto parts dealer/s with the available stock would then respond with the price and location; this same information is also sent back to the vehicle owner who made the request.
