We gave SSCN, a buy-and-ship service from China to Indonesia, a website that explains the service in plain Indonesian and an admin that keeps every rupiah in balance.

Customers asked where their parcel was over WhatsApp, rates were converted by hand and margins only showed up at month end.

Now customers track their own order with an invoice number, and the team sees the margin the day a shipment is created.


Objective

Build a brand and website that make buying from China feel as clear as shopping at home, then an admin for invoices, shipments, wallets and the team.

The Challenge

Three marketplaces, two currencies

Orders come from 1688, Taobao and Tmall, are priced in RMB and paid in rupiah, then shipped by air or sea.

Where is my parcel?

The most common question arrived on WhatsApp, again and again, and the team answered each one by hand.

Money in spreadsheets

A wrong rate or a missed top-up could sit unnoticed for weeks, and margins only appeared at month end.

The Solution

A crate made of letters

S, S, C and N stack into a shipping crate, set in one bold freight orange against near-black.

Tracking customers check themselves

An invoice number plus the last four digits of a phone, so the status stays private and the chat stays free.

Rules that live in the admin

The rate locks when an invoice is paid, boxes are priced by chargeable weight, and a withdrawal never exceeds the wallet.


Our development process.

Five phases in four months, from reading months of chat logs to a website, back office and warehouse running on the same records.

The full Shop Solution China lockup, a short SSCN lockup and a vertical version for narrow spaces.

Part 1 · Website and tracking

A site that explains buying from China in plain Indonesian, and a tracking flow customers run on their own.

A homepage that explains buying from China.

Here you see the full homepage on desktop and phone. It answers in the order new customers ask: what SSCN does, how it works, what it costs by air or sea and how to track a parcel, all in plain Indonesian.

SSCN homepage, full length on desktop
SSCN homepage, full length on mobile

Tracking that protects the order.

Customers used to ask on WhatsApp where their goods were. Now they check it themselves with the invoice number and the last four digits of the phone number on the order.

Track: enter the invoice number

Status first, then every step.

Once verified, the page shows where the parcel is right now at the top, and its full history below: bought, checked at the China warehouse, shipped, arrived in Indonesia and out with the courier.

Track: shipment status and history

Errors that say what to do next.

A wrong invoice number and wrong digits each get their own message and a next step, instead of one vague error. After three wrong tries the form pauses for 15 minutes.

Track: invoice not found

One source of truth.

The status customers see comes straight from what the team records in the admin. Weight, courier and tracking number are entered once.

  1. 01 Admin · Shipments Team records the weight and the courier tracking number
  2. 02 Courier Status updates come back into the shipment
  3. 03 Website · Lacak Pengiriman Customer sees the same timeline after verifying

Built for the phone in the chat.

Visitors arrive from a WhatsApp link, so every step fits one screen with large digit fields.

Part 2 · Admin

Behind the website, the SSCN team buys goods in China for customers and ships them home. This is the tool they use to bill customers, track every box and keep each customer’s balance right.

First, how an order and its money move.

Before any screen we mapped the journey of one order, from a marketplace link to the customer’s door, and of every rupiah, from top-up to profit.

Information architecture
Order lifecycle

Order lifecycle

Every status an order passes through, from link to doorstep.

Money flow with guardrails

Money flow

Where each rupiah goes, and the checks that stop mistakes.

Sign in

Only staff the owner has invited can get in, because this is where customer money lives.

Overview: the first screen every morning.

The top row shows money collected, still unpaid and held in customer wallets. On the right sit today’s RMB rate and a short list of things to fix before the shipping cut-off.

Notifications

Notifications

A payment arrives, an item runs out or a courier picks up a box. Each alert opens the record it is about.

Invoices: billing customers in two currencies.

Goods are bought in RMB but customers pay in rupiah. Staff type the RMB price and the invoice shows rupiah, so there is no manual conversion.

Invoices

New invoice

Items priced in RMB, with the rupiah total at today’s rate.

Invoice detail with payment history

Invoice detail

What was bought, what was paid and when.

Update payment: the rate locks when paid

Recording a payment

Once paid, the exchange rate on that invoice is locked, so the amount the customer agreed to never changes later.

Shipments: every box from China to the door.

Staff log each box with its weight and courier. Shipping is charged on real or volume weight, whichever is higher, so the profit on a shipment is known on day one.

Shipments

Wallets: money customers keep with SSCN.

Many customers top up in advance. New invoices are paid from that balance first, and a withdrawal can never be more than what is left.

Wallet statement

Every top-up, payment and withdrawal for one customer.

Customers and admins.

Each customer shows their balance and unpaid invoices at a glance. New staff are invited by email, and the invite expires after 48 hours.

The Result

First-time buyers can read how SSCN works, compare air and sea and check their own parcel at any hour, so the team spends its WhatsApp time on new orders instead of explaining the basics or giving status updates.

On the admin, margins are visible the day a shipment is created instead of at month end, the exchange rate is applied once then locked, and the team checks invoices, shipments and wallets in one place, and it all matches what customers see on the tracking page.
