Chariotz Inc

CHARIOTZ is a Storytelling Platform for the Automotive Industry. We built CHARIOTZ so automotive businesses could promote their vehicles, products and projects, using a photo-based storytelling platform, to automotive enthusiasts who are looking for a curated go-to location for their needs. Automotive enthusiasts use CHARIOTZ to discover new ideas for their own vehicles, get information on products used and work done, and find the right businesses. They also find unique vehicles for sale by businesses or other enthusiasts. Enthusiasts who want to show off their unique vehicles also do so on CHARIOTZ, and thus inspire others like them. Businesses sign up and upload and tag their vehicles, products and projects. For example, an aftermarket wheel manufacturer will upload photos of cars with their wheels installed, and add information tags to the photos with model, size, and finish information. We then sort these businesses and their uploaded projects using vehicle make/model, product/service category, geographic location, etc. and then present them to enthusiasts. We have filed a patent titled “AUTOMOBILE CONFIGURED FOR GRAPHICAL DISPLAY ON A MOBILE APPLICATION”. The patent describes a method to use photos, information tags, QR codes & GPS capabilities, for owners to show off their vehicles at events, and for event attendees to locate specific vehicles, and then view those vehicles’ stories/information. Here is Mike Spagnola, VP of Product Development for SEMA, describing (at the 1:30 mark) why he believes our patent-pending technology is a killer app for the automotive industry:
