SupplierTrace – Aggregate cross-border order info

Bring scattered supplier order details from WeChat, email, and chat into one board

Problem

When sourcing overseas, pricing and quantities are agreed on WeChat, the PI arrives by email, spec changes happen in chat threads, and deposit terms are in a different email from two weeks ago. Finding what was decided about packaging means digging through three apps.

Solution

A lightweight board that aggregates manually pasted key info from WeChat, email, and chat by supplier/order. Users forward or paste messages into the relevant order; the tool organizes price, quantity, specs, and terms into a timeline with search and export.

Users

Cross-border e-commerce sellers, small importers, independent sourcing managers

MVP

Aggregate message snippets by order; timeline view; tag categories (price/specs/terms); global search; export order summary PDF

Revenue

Subscription $15/mo, tiered by order or supplier volume

Why now

Cross-border sourcing is increasingly fragmented across IM and email, and ERPs are too heavy; indie devs can ship a lightweight aggregator focused on information retrieval
