In October 2022, I found myself immersed in a familiar yet thrilling pursuit—adding new models to my diecast car collection. As a diehard collector, the hunt for those coveted Ferraris and other gems is always exhilarating. But there was a snag. Communicating with fellow collectors and suppliers to organize and manage my collection quickly turned into a logistical nightmare.
I was sending screenshots of cars via Facebook Messenger, fumbling with Excel sheets to track details, and wasting hours trying to piece it all together. Frustration hit its peak when I realized my method was not just inefficient—it was holding me back from truly enjoying my passion.
A month later, during a conversation with a colleague who’s also a collector, I discovered his way of managing things: an Excel table with photos and car details. Honestly, it sounded like even more of a hassle! This conversation pushed me to search for a solution. That’s when I stumbled upon the Bumpr app, a tool designed to organize and manage car models.
I took a leap of faith, spending $4.99 (a first for me—I’d never paid for an app before). Bumpr had some great features: I could upload two photos of each model, include details, and create a more streamlined system. While it wasn’t perfect, it gave me a glimpse of what an app for collectors could achieve. I even reached out to Bumpr’s team with ideas for collaboration, but after receiving lukewarm responses, I started to wonder: what if I could create an app that delivered everything collectors like me truly needed?
That’s when the spark ignited. I sat down and mapped out what my dream app for diecast collectors would look like. It needed to allow for multiple photos of each model, detailed descriptions, easy filtering, a wishlist, and even a way to track sales and purchases.
Armed with this vision, I asked around for help, but most people couldn’t offer more than advice. Undeterred, I dove into research, meeting with several app development agencies, in person and virtually. After weeks of discussions, I finally chose Redcode, a team that shared my vision and brought it to life.
The result is Diecast Parking App, a sleek, user-friendly platform that transforms how collectors manage their passion. Designed for both iOS and Android, it’s packed with features tailored for diecast enthusiasts:
