CLEBER, one of Mexico's largest automotive dealer groups, successfully transformed its corporate website into a dynamic vehicle marketplace by leveraging the rapid development capabilities of Bubble, a no-code platform. Faced with the limitations of off-the-shelf solutions and the prohibitive costs and timelines of traditional development, CLEBER opted to build a custom product information management and content management system on Bubble, achieving launch in just three months and saving an estimated $100,000. This transformation allowed CLEBER to offer a comprehensive platform where customers can research, compare, and view accurate vehicle specifications and pricing across multiple brands. Beyond the public-facing marketplace, CLEBER has expanded its use of Bubble to create a range of internal tools, from a used car marketplace and an admin panel for frontend configurations to a financial planning system and a service order application, demonstrating significant cost savings and operational efficiency. Looking forward, CLEBER plans to enhance digital customer interactions and explore AI integration, underscoring Bubble's ability to deliver tailored, cost-effective solutions swiftly in a competitive environment.

Bubble has undergone a significant redesign of its property editor to enhance user accessibility and streamline workflows for both new and experienced users. Initially launched with the principle that computers should adapt to human language, Bubble's new editor reflects this philosophy by being more intuitive and easier to use. The redesign, based on extensive user feedback, reorganizes tabs and properties to align with how developers actually work, reducing the complexity that had accumulated over time. The updated interface now uses clearer and more natural language, integrates AI capabilities for app generation, and features a modern visual design to improve usability. By making these changes, Bubble aims to lower the learning curve and enable users to focus on building and launching their apps without getting bogged down by a complicated interface. The rollout of the redesigned property editor is being conducted in phases, starting with 25% of users, with a full migration guide available for those transitioning to the new system.
