Automated marketplace sourcing

Stop searching. Start Sifting.

Tell us what your business buys. We'll do the searching.

We work with you to understand the stock you're looking for, then Sift continuously monitors marketplaces in the background and sends relevant opportunities directly to you.

Illustrative example.

How many hours does your business spend searching for stock?

Finding stock online is repetitive. Search. Scroll. Open. Check. Compare. Refresh. Repeat - and then do it all again tomorrow.

Without Sift

  • Employee manually searches marketplaces

How it works

We set it up. Sift keeps searching.

1

Tell us what you buy

We start by understanding your business and the stock you're interested in sourcing — from brands and models to price ranges and the characteristics that matter to you.

2

We build your searches

We work with you to set the parameters and refine what Sift should look for. Once everything is set up, Sift continuously monitors marketplaces in the background.

3

Opportunities come to you

When Sift finds something that meets your criteria and deserves your attention, you'll receive an instant alert with the key information and a direct link to the listing. You decide whether to buy.

From Sift to your phone.

When an opportunity appears, you don't need to log into another dashboard and search for it. Sift sends the important information directly to you, so you can review the listing and act quickly.

Example alert. Market comparisons are indicative only.

Time saving

Turn hours of searching into minutes of reviewing.

Sift doesn't replace the buyer's judgement. It removes the repetitive work before the decision.
