The Inspiration: 

Hailing from Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain, a 16-year-old boy had the vision, goal, drive, and inspiration to leave a substantial mark in The United Kingdom’s Automotive Industry. Ricard Guillem, being very familiar with the automotive industry due to his family working in the sector for generations, had noticed that when owning any vehicle, the maintenance and ownership of it requires a lot of mechanical and physical care and effort with the aims to prolong its longevity in all aspects. 

Therefore, with a lot of research and understanding, the young entrepreneur studied the various technological solutions that were already available in the market and came up with an idea to create an innovative platform and app that provides all of the required care, help, and services with the aims to make the owners better manage, maintain and care for their vehicles in their day-to-day life and needs. 

CAFLER’S Creation and Focus:
