The challenge
What problem had to be solved?
The context, constraints, and risk surface that shaped every decision.
Buyers, importers and dealers have no easy way to verify the real history and specs of Chinese-market vehicles. Data is scattered, mostly in Chinese, and VINs are slow to type and check.
Sino 360 had to turn a VIN into a readable report in the buyer’s own language, and make the VIN itself fast to capture by scan, photo or typing. Reports are informational and compiled from third-party sources, so the app carries an in-app disclaimer, and account deletion is built in to meet store requirements.
Contributions
What GenAILabs built.
Everything in-house except the vehicle data, which comes from a licensed provider.
Three ways to enter a VIN
Camera scan (text and barcode) with Google ML Kit, gallery upload with crop, or typing it in.
Free & paid report tiers
A free tier plus paid reports, with payments through Stripe, PayPal and Apple In-App Purchase.
Five-language localization
The full app in English, Arabic, Spanish, French and Russian.
Accounts & privacy
Sign in with Apple, Google or email through Firebase Auth, plus account deletion built to App Store requirements.
Flutter app & store releases
One Flutter codebase for Android and iOS, with Firestore, Remote Config and Messaging, and the Google Play releases.
System / solution
How the product works.
A Flutter client backed by Firebase, a licensed vehicle data provider and three payment rails.
System architecture
Flutter app on Android and iOS → VIN captured by camera scan (Google ML Kit text and barcode), gallery upload with crop, or typing → report built from a licensed vehicle data provider, free or paid tier → payments through Stripe, PayPal or Apple In-App Purchase. Firebase Auth, Firestore, Remote Config and Messaging for accounts, data, runtime settings and notifications.
Flywheel impulse
Deployment, integration, and real-world use.
How the product is run today and where its data comes from.
Sino 360 is live on Google Play; the iOS version is not live yet. It is an in-house GenAILabs product, so there is no client engagement: the same team builds, releases and maintains it.
- Integration pattern
- Vehicle data from a licensed data provider; Firebase for auth, data, runtime config and messaging; Stripe, PayPal and Apple In-App Purchase for payments; Google ML Kit for scanning
- Data ownership
- GenAILabs built the app, integrations, localization and store releases. The vehicle data belongs to the licensed provider, not to GenAILabs
- Maintenance mode
- Maintained in-house with regular releases for features, fixes and store compliance, tracked through Google Play Console and Firebase
