Case study
SourceFlow is being built for cross-border sourcing.
An in-development beta product that helps customers search China marketplaces in English, pay with local-currency wallets, and track sourcing, shipping, and support from one app.
Marketplaces
1688 + Taobao
Search product sources and compare wholesale options from China marketplaces.
Payments
Multi-currency wallet
Support for NGN, USD, GBP, and CAD wallet flows with Flutterwave-backed top-ups.
Logistics
Air + sea freight
Orders can move through procurement, warehouse checks, shipping quotes, and tracking.
Status
Beta testing
The product is still in development and currently uses a staging beta environment.
What the product is solving
SourceFlow is designed to make China product sourcing easier for customers who do not want to manage language barriers, marketplace accounts, supplier communication, wallet top-ups, freight decisions, and status updates across separate tools.
The app brings discovery, wallet funding, checkout, shipping, notifications, and support into one flow. Behind it, the admin layer gives the team a way to manage users, orders, featured products, notifications, wallet activity, and operational settings while the beta is being refined.
Admin operations
The admin side supports the operational layer behind the app: users, orders, featured products, notifications, wallet transactions, settings, and day-to-day review of sourcing activity.
