The trip, before sourca
You walk six floors of a Yiwu market and photograph four hundred things.
Then you get back to the hotel and try to remember which shop had the plush bear, what they quoted, and whose business card is whose. The phone is full of photos, and none of them know where they were taken.
How it works
From the market to your stockroom.
One record follows every item, from the photo you take in the market to the carton you receive at home.
In the shop
Photo, shop, price. Saved.
Take the photo, pick the shop, type the yuan price. It saves to the phone with no internet, and the shop stays selected for the next item.
Before you buy
Your price appears as you type.
Type the yuan quote and your selling price shows underneath, at your own multiplier. The real exchange rate shows true cost and margin before you commit.
At the hotel
Back on Wi-Fi, it uploads on its own.
Captures wait safely on the phone, with a count of how many are waiting. At the hotel they upload by themselves. Photos are already shrunk, so hotel Wi-Fi can cope.
At your desk
Your shortlist becomes an order list for each shop.
Tick what you want and sourca groups it by shop, into printable order lists with photos, both sets of codes and bilingual headers.
When it lands
The order becomes stock.
When the goods land, receive the order into inventory. Every movement is logged, so you know what arrived and what didn’t.
What it does
Everything a buying trip needs. Nothing it doesn’t.
Trip money
Know the margin before you commit.
Your own multiplier and the real exchange rate. See what the shortlist costs, what it sells for, and the true margin, with freight and duty if you want them.

Photograph the business card.
It fills in the shop for you: name, shop number, phone, WeChat. It reads offline on the phone, and the card photo is always kept.
“What did I pay last time?”
While you capture, it shows matching past buys and whether today’s quote is dearer or cheaper.
Order lists
One sheet per shop, in two languages.
Tick what you want. It becomes a printable order list for each shop, with photos, their codes and yours, and bilingual headers.

Install it like an app.
Add sourca to the home screen on your phone or your computer, straight from the browser. No app store needed.
Why it’s built this way
Markets are concrete. Signal is poor.
A lot of what a phone expects to reach is blocked in China. So sourca doesn’t depend on it.
The phone is the source of truth.
While you’re buying, everything lives on the phone. A bad connection can never lose a capture.
Small enough for hotel Wi-Fi.
Photos are shrunk on the phone before they’re stored, so a full day of captures still uploads.
Nothing that won’t answer.
No part of the app waits on a service that may be blocked where you’re standing.
Your records are yours.
No other business can see them. Sensitive details are encrypted when stored.

Does it really work with no internet?
Yes. Capturing an item — photo, shop, name and price — works with no signal at all. Everything is saved on the phone, and a counter shows how many captures are waiting. They upload on their own once you’re back on Wi-Fi.
Which markets is it for?
It’s built around buying trips to Yiwu, Guangzhou and Shantou, and those markets come built in. You can add any other market yourself.
Do I need to download an app?
No. Open sourca in your phone’s browser and add it to your home screen. It then opens like an app, on your phone and on your computer.
What currency does it use?
You enter the yuan price you’re quoted. sourca works out the selling price in your own currency using your multiplier, and uses the real exchange rate to show true cost and margin.
Can my buyer and my team use it?
Yes. Invite people as owners, members or viewers. Growth includes 5 seats, and Business has no limit.
What happens if I go over my monthly product limit?
You’ll see it on your usage meter. A capture is never refused and an upload is never blocked because of a limit.
Who can see my suppliers and prices?
Only you and the people you invite. Each business is kept fully separate. You can share an item or a catalogue with another business if you choose, as view-only, and take that access back at any time.
