Overview
AutoGasparic is a comprehensive CRM/ERP system designed to streamline automotive business operations. The project consists of two distinct parts: an internal portal for business management and a public-facing website for customers.
The Right Tool for the Job
Not every project needs the latest JavaScript framework or cutting-edge technology stack. AutoGasparic is a testament to choosing the right tools for the specific requirements rather than chasing trends.
jQuery remains a powerful, battle-tested library that gets the job done efficiently. Combined with Tailwind CSS for styling, it delivers a fast, maintainable frontend without the overhead of complex build processes or framework abstractions. Sometimes simplicity wins.
Portal (CRM)
The internal portal is built with the latest Angular, strictly typed throughout for maximum reliability and developer experience. PrimeNG provides a rich component library that accelerates development while maintaining a professional look and feel.
Key Features
- Complete Workflow Management: From adding vehicles to managing attributes, the entire business process is digitized
- AI-Powered Data Fetching: An intelligent agent fetches vehicle listings from Njuskalo, automatically extracting and structuring data
- CMS Integration: Seamlessly prepares and pushes data to the public-facing website
- Strict TypeScript: Full type safety across the entire codebase ensures reliability and maintainability
The Angular-powered CRM portal for managing vehicle inventory and business operations.
Public Website
The customer-facing website is built on Umbraco CMS with .NET, providing a robust and flexible content management experience. The frontend leverages Tailwind CSS for styling and jQuery for interactions.
The public-facing website showcasing available vehicles to customers.
Why This Stack Works
- Umbraco CMS: Enterprise-grade content management with excellent .NET integration
- Tailwind CSS: Utility-first styling without the complexity of CSS-in-JS solutions
- jQuery: Lightweight, reliable, and perfectly suited for the interaction requirements
- No Build Complexity: Straightforward deployment and maintenance
AI Agent Integration
One of the standout features is the AI agent that connects to Njuskalo (a popular classified ads platform). The agent:
- Fetches vehicle listings automatically
- Extracts relevant data and attributes
- Structures information for the CMS
- Prepares content for the public website
This automation significantly reduces manual data entry and ensures consistency across the platform.

Philosophy
This project embodies a pragmatic approach to technology selection. While Angular and TypeScript power the complex internal system where strict typing and component architecture shine, the public website leverages proven technologies that deliver results without unnecessary complexity.
jQuery isn’t dead-it’s mature. And mature tools, when applied correctly, can be more valuable than the latest framework that might be deprecated next year.
Impact
AutoGasparic demonstrates that successful software isn’t about using the newest technologies-it’s about solving business problems effectively. The combination of a powerful CRM portal and a performant public website creates a complete solution for automotive business management.
