Driving Innovation: Revamping Global Links Auto's Digital Presence in South Sudan

Introduction

Global Links Auto (GLA), the official Toyota dealer in South Sudan, has long been a trusted name in the region’s automotive sector. However, their digital presence lagged far behind their reputation. Their outdated single-page website failed to capture the breadth of their services and the sophistication of their operations. GLA partnered with Nilotik to develop a dynamic, visually stunning website and management portal that would position them as a digital leader in their industry. Here’s how we transformed their online experience.

3. Content Creation Needs: Lack of high-quality imagery to represent their showroom, team, and workshop.
4. Customer Usability: Simplifying how customers explore and learn about their products and services.
5. Dynamic Management Portal: Enabling GLA to update their vehicle catalog and publish blogs with ease.
