Every shop owner knows this scene: a customer walks in, pulls out their phone, and shows you a photo of a product they saw on TikTok or Instagram. "Do you have this?"
If you don't — and you don't know where to find it wholesale — that customer will buy it somewhere else. Every product you can't find is a lost sale.
The problem: searching for a product you can't name
Half the time, you don't even know the product's exact name. How do you search for "the cloud-shaped LED lamp" or "the pink portable blender" across 40 Telegram groups? Typing random keywords rarely finds the right thing, and scrolling for hours guarantees nothing.
The solution: search by image
Image-recognition technology changed the game. The idea is simple:
- Take a photo of the product (or save the one the customer showed you).
- Upload it into the search bar on SourcelyDZ.
- Within seconds, AI compares your photo against tens of thousands of products posted by 100+ Algerian wholesalers.
- You get the exact product (or the closest matches), with the wholesale price and the wholesaler's direct contact.
No need to know the product's name, its brand, or how to spell it in Arabic or French. The photo is enough.
What this changes in practice
- You answer the customer on the spot: "I can have it for tomorrow" instead of "sorry, I don't know where to get it."
- You catch trends in time: a product blowing up on TikTok can be in your shop the same week.
- You compare suppliers: if several wholesalers carry the same product, you see prices side by side and pick the best one.
How to try it
Image search is included in every SourcelyDZ plan, with a monthly quota of photo searches (60 on Starter, 500 on Pro). Keyword search — in Arabic, French, or English — is unlimited on the Pro plan.
Test it with a real product: create your account, upload a photo of something you already sell, and see which wholesalers stock it — and at what price. The first 3 days are free.
