The project client is PDB LLC (operating as "Podberem"). The company has launched Rulizor, a platform designed to facilitate vehicle inspections prior to purchase.
The concept for the project emerged from observing the challenges faced by those buying used cars: it is often difficult to select a qualified automotive expert or verify their actual experience, and the results of an inspection—such as photographs, diagnostic data, and expert commentary—are frequently scattered and stored in various, disconnected locations. On the Rulizor platform, an expert’s profile is linked directly to their completed inspection reports, allowing clients to evaluate not just reviews, but the actual documentation from previous vehicle assessments.
The company needed a reliable partner to help formalize the concept, design the system architecture, and rapidly bring an MVP (Minimum Viable Product) to market. The platform was intended to serve as the core of the business, handling request intake, online payments, the routing of orders to partner inspectors, and the storage and delivery of inspection reports to clients.

Key Challenges
- Develop an MVP for a web portal from scratch, featuring the following business logic:
- a vehicle catalog with reports,
- online payment (supporting two models: purchasing an individual report or ordering an on-site vehicle inspection),
- a client dashboard (personal account),
- integration with external services (payment systems, report storage),
- ensuring high availability and data security.
Implemented our solution
- The project was implemented in five stages.
- Business Analysis and Terms of Reference (ToR)
Working closely with the client, our experts developed the concept, business logic, and all use cases. A detailed Terms of Reference document was created, which allowed for an accurate assessment of the scope of work, project timelines, and the team composition required. - Detailed Technical Specifications
An in-depth analysis phase was conducted, covering all metrics, coefficients, and data sources. Integrations—such as payment processing and data exchange with partners—were defined in detail, and requirements for performance and scalability were incorporated. - MVP Development
The ICL Services team began development in May 2025 and completed it in December 2025. The result is a robust portal with a custom-built engine capable of processing orders across Russia. - Cloud Infrastructure
Based on preliminary calculations—accounting for load, security, and costs—ICL Services specialists selected and configured a cloud platform. The portal was deployed in the cloud, ensuring fault tolerance and the ability to easily scale as the business grows. - Post-Release Support and Enhancements
Following the MVP launch, the team carried out a series of enhancements to further develop the portal, helping the client refine the product and prepare it for large-scale customer acquisition.
- Business Analysis and Terms of Reference (ToR)
Results
- A web portal has been launched, covering the full cycle: "request → payment → inspection → report."
- The portal is integrated with partners, allowing clients to access the service in any city across the Russian Federation.
- The client received a ready-to-use platform without the need to hire an in-house development team during the initial phase.
- Cloud infrastructure ensured high availability and reduced time-to-market.
