The Problem

Dropshippers work with 5–20 suppliers but have no system to track reliability. Late shipments affect 15–25% of orders causing chargebacks and bad reviews. Same product from different suppliers varies in quality with no tracking. Price comparison across suppliers is manual and outdated by the time you order.

The Solution
