Car-selling platform Motorist unveils mobile app for vehicle management

The app notifies users regarding COE renewal, car recalls, road tax expiry and traffic fines.

Automotive startup Motorist has launched its Motorist App which provides a centralised platform for Singapore's car owners. Through the app, drivers can receive notifications and reminders for COE renewal, vehicle recalls, road tax expiry and traffic fines. Users can also unlock personalised assistance from its ‘AutoConcierge’ feature.

The Motorist app allows users to either pay their fines or file an appeal, see a quick overview of their car, view traffic cameras around Singapore and stay up-to-date with the latest traffic incidents along their preferred driving routes.

“With the Motorist App, our goal is to become a one-stop platform that covers the four aspects of vehicle ownership: buy, drive, maintain, and sell. Motorist is currently strong with selling, and that is why we’ll be focusing our business on the buy, drive and maintain portion with the Motorist App,” said Damian Sia, Motorist’s CEO and founder.

Launched in 2015, Motorist aims to simplify car ownership in Singapore and has completed over 9,700 transactions that are worth more than $185m in vehicle value.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.


The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.


So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
