Existing solutions
Generic Suppliers (e.g., Alibaba/AliExpress)
Our angle
There is a distinct lack of lightweight, cash-flow-specific forecasting tools that actively enforce payment terms (like 50% upfront), as well as accessible AI photography tools tailored specifically for dropshippers/physical product sellers.
