What began as a series of standalone iOS apps for the Dutch automotive and leasing market grew into a full-fledged white-label mobility platform, built with SwiftUI and a fully responsive design. The platform could easily be customized for any leasing company, giving clients their own branded and feature-rich app.

• White-label architecture: easily adaptable branding for different leasing companies
• Lease tools: search, compare, and contract integration
• Location services: dealer locator, gas stations, and service points with real-time GPS & maps
• Vehicle data: comprehensive database of makes, models, and specifications
• Customer interaction: news, notifications, multimedia, and personal dashboards
• Responsive design: seamless experience on iPhone, iPad, and other Apple devices

• Early versions developed in Objective-C with manual memory management
• Migration to modern iOS SDKs and improved APIs
• Final platform fully rebuilt in SwiftUI, with responsive layouts and dynamic components
• API-driven data integration, modular white-label theming, and secure communication layers

• Leasing companies could launch their own branded app with minimal effort
• Customers gained a modern, mobile-first way to discover cars, manage leases, and access services
• Costs and development time were greatly reduced by reusing the white-label platform
• Positioned the platform as a flexible solution in a rapidly changing automotive market

This project demonstrates the full evolution of mobile software: from the early challenges of Objective-C and memory management to a modern SwiftUI ecosystem with scalable white-label capabilities. It shows how a single app can grow into a platform, delivering long-term value through flexibility and technical evolution.
