The other side of the marketplace: a dashboard for the suppliers.

After the marketplace, MAP wanted a dedicated dashboard for its suppliers: a place to manage inventory, follow performance and handle buyers. Built on the same brand and design system, so both ends of the platform feel like one product.

Suppliers on existing car-parts marketplaces struggled with disorganised tools and little insight into how their products performed. Without live updates or analytics they overstocked, missed sales, and had no straightforward way to talk to buyers. The guiding question: how might we help sellers manage inventory, track performance and handle buyer conversations from one screen?

The same competitors as the marketplace, plus Shopify, which stood out for how simply it adds products, sets prices and organises inventory. Two findings shaped the onboarding: the local competitors require a long list of legal documents before a supplier can sign up, which keeps the marketplace trustworthy, while Amazon puts a paid plan in front of sellers, a revenue path for later.
