Dreaming of building social C2C marketplace app like Depop, Wallapop, Letgo, OfferUp, ShPock? You are in the right place.

There are visionaries like you who want to bring their ideas into reality to life. SaaS technology solutions like the Tradly platform have made this really easy. The era of the platform-based business has begun in this 21st century disrupting every product type or service into a new economy model.

The first famous stint was with Apple App Store where it allowed people to buy apps and also sell apps, by connecting multi sides like developers and end-users. And in the last 10years, the fashion industry has seen its own disruption with marketplace like Depop, OfferUp, and ShPock.

We believe you would have a similar vision of having a platform by building a social C2C marketplace app. But getting that idea into a website or a mobile app takes a significant amount of resources from the idea stage to reality. Now the technology and developers have developed lots of open sources, SAAS, and Licence based solutions for the websites but in mobile apps, there is a very limited number of options.

We had this same concern before like you and realized there were no solutions. So we have built our app and we don’t want to stop there. We want to partner and help visionaries like you to bring their ideas to life with less technical work on your side to build the app. You can focus more of their time on reaching their vision to people and increase the adoption of the app.
