Start from demand.
SHELROCK begins with the buyer requirement rather than asking the buyer to search hundreds of seller profiles.
SHELROCK is the digital sourcing and trade-intelligence layer of Shim International Import Export Co. (SIIECO) — designed to turn a buyer requirement into a clearer, managed route through India supply.
Most buyers do not need another directory of suppliers. They need the right questions answered in the right order: what exactly is being bought, which supply can genuinely fit, what the commercial route looks like, and what must happen before the order can move.
SHELROCK begins with the buyer requirement rather than asking the buyer to search hundreds of seller profiles.
Product, specification, origin, landed-cost thinking, documents and logistics should inform sourcing before — not after — a commercial choice.
AI can structure and remember the journey; supplier follow-up, readiness, quality coordination and trade movement still need accountable people.
SHELROCK is not positioned as a faceless marketplace. The platform is being built by people working directly on both buyer-side and India-side trade problems.
UK-based founder focused on buyer development, sourcing intelligence, product strategy and the digital buyer experience. His professional background spans business operations, procurement, supplier coordination and customer-facing ventures, alongside postgraduate work in supply chain, operations and logistics in the UK.
Co-founder and owner of the India-side export company, responsible for coordinating the operational side of supply from India. He leads supplier and factory follow-up, commercial readiness and the execution handoff with the India team.
A five-member India team supports supplier communication, capability checks, order-readiness coordination, documentation follow-up and the practical handoffs required to keep buyer requirements moving.
Product, quantity, destination, timing and the specification you already know.
Clarify the commercial brief and the gaps that matter before supplier comparison.
Assess supply fit, capacity, readiness and practical commercial conditions.
Keep quality, documents, origin thinking and shipment coordination attached to the same journey.
Buyer intent comes first. Supply is evaluated against a real commercial need.
SHELROCK is not designed as an open public directory of every available seller.
Better specifications and trade context create better supplier comparison and fewer late-stage surprises.
Software can organise the journey; real sourcing, verification and execution still require practical coordination.
SHELROCK is early-stage by design, but the operating principle is clear: buyer requirements stay central, supplier claims are not treated as proof by themselves, and the India-side execution layer remains connected to the commercial journey.
