You may have read about us from a news article, seen our name in a press release by another company or heard one of our leaders speak at a forum. If you’re reading this article, chances are you’re wondering: what is it like working with SourceSage? How will you benefit from partnering with us as compared to other online platform builders?

You might be from a startup that’s just beginning to venture into the corporate world or a budding entrepreneur seeking to stake out a digital presence. If that’s you, you’ve come to the right place. Keep reading because we’re going to tell you how much more SourceSage can offer as compared to just a Wordpress website or a Weebly store.

Beyond helping you set up a digital storefront, we’ll help you bridge the enterprise gaps and connect you to all sorts of companies, from other startups and SMEs to big MNCs that might otherwise be impossible to reach out to. With SourceSage, there’s a mighty range of possibilities, and we’ve got not one but two case studies in this article to demonstrate what we can do for you.

We do a lot of things at SourceSage but you can think of us simply as a B2B ecommerce platform builder. We provide services to help smaller companies such as startups and SMEs create all-in-one online stores so they can rapidly digitalise their business for ecommerce purposes.

Building an online store with us is easy. The easiest approach is to pick one of the ready-to-use templates in our digital repository. If you want to customise certain elements, it’s just as straightforward. The online store builder comes with fully functional components — all you need to do is select what you need then drag and drop.

Your SourceSage-facilitated site also comes with integrated payment and logistics solutions to keep the digitalisation process as fuss-free as possible. Whether you’re creating a digital store for an existing physical business or starting a new company, the process will be fast, smooth and flexible to enable rapid business transformations.

SourceSage also offers similar services to the large businesses and MNCs we work with. Instead of online stores, we help to build customised procurement and distribution platforms that are unique to the company. This is done using our various component services that allow us to tweak and tailor specialised features for every MNC.

But let’s get to the main part of this article on how we can help you elevate your business to the next level by enhancing your digital presence.

We offer a comprehensive platform structure for any SME who chooses to work with us. You’ll get the best of both worlds with the ability to reach out to fellow SMEs and also to cross that wide divide that separates you from large corporations. Simply put, your online store will be a one-stop portal for all your different clients to access it without the need to devise separate strategies to expand your outreach. Don’t just take our word for it — we’ll let the two case studies do some of the talking.

Let’s bring you behind the scenes with halal snacks seller Dulce El Hada and mattress retailer Thirty Marketplace.

We’ll start this use case by letting you hear what Dulce El Hada has to say about us:

How did we get them there?

First of all, the online stores powered by SourceSage come with integrated multi-channel marketing, allowing Dulce El Hada to advertise their products beyond a local scale and target their digital outreach efforts to potential overseas customers.

Another important factor of SourceSage-empowered online stores is that of flexible payment options. Dulce El Hada benefitted from this cross border feature as it allowed customers to pay based on their most convenient method, further enticing overseas customers to purchase from the company. The payment options SourceSage offers include MasterCard, Visa, regular bank transfers as well as the PayNow feature by Singapore’s DBS bank.

Another successful use case under our belt is our partnership with Thirty Marketplace, an SME specialised in selling mattresses. The company’s managing director Jimmy Goh commented that the tie-up between SourceSage and government grants has allowed Thirty Marketplace to quickly try out an ecommerce solution and thus continue to thrive in the Covid-19 environment.

Thirty Marketplace’s online store was able to enjoy a low flat-per credit card transaction fee at 2.6% + 0.50SGD for MasterCard and Visa. This attracted more local buyers. Furthermore, the SourceSage-powered site did not involve any commissions.

One of the most important features that benefitted Thirty Marketplace, Dulce El Hada and all other companies that have partnered us is that of being connected to both businesses and regular consumers. In other words, the SourceSage-powered store is a one-stop for both B2B and B2C transactions. As mentioned earlier, our sites come with integrated payment and logistics solutions that cater to both B2B and B2C purchases or sales.

We’ve shared a lot in this article from our point of view and also from that of two companies that have worked with us personally. Now we want to hear from you — if you’re an established SME looking to boost your business to the next level or a startup that’s just starting out, we want to hear your story and your goals so we can help you make the big leap.
