A professional B2B and B2C digital platform connecting buyers and suppliers of industrial raw materials through an automated, transparent, and fully managed trading ecosystem.

Al Sharq Exportation & Importation is a comprehensive digital platform built for a raw materials import and export company specializing in iron, manganese, coal, and other essential industrial commodities. It connects buyers and suppliers through a seamless online experience enabling purchase requests, supply offers, real-time notifications, and full admin control through a centralized Arabic dashboard.

Al Sharq is a comprehensive digital platform designed to transform raw materials trading by connecting buyers and suppliers within a structured B2B/B2C ecosystem. The platform enables buyers to submit detailed purchase requests, allows suppliers to respond with tailored offers, and provides administrators with a centralized Arabic dashboard to manage all operations. It also supports a bilingual (Arabic/English) public interface to ensure accessibility across local and international markets.

Key challenges included designing a unified platform for multiple user roles with distinct workflows (buyers, suppliers, and admins), implementing a price validation system to control minimum thresholds, supporting complex multi-material requests within a single submission, enabling real-time notifications across email and dashboard, and ensuring a seamless bilingual experience while maintaining an Arabic-only admin interface.

Platform Architecture

Al Sharq is a purpose-built B2B & B2C Raw Materials Trading Platform designed to digitize and streamline industrial raw material import and export operations. The platform operates across two key layers:

Public Website Layer:: A bilingual (Arabic & English) responsive website where buyers submit material purchase requests, suppliers present supply offers, and all parties explore the company's material catalog, services, and contact information.
Administration Layer:: A comprehensive Arabic-only admin dashboard where administrators manage all buyer requests and supplier offers, set minimum price thresholds, manage material listings and specifications, oversee user accounts, send notifications, and access performance analytics and reports.

Both layers are connected through a unified backend, ensuring real-time data synchronization, automated notification workflows, and a seamless experience across the entire trading platform.
