Sodu helps African importers and distributors source products from Egypt using our factory relationships, buying power, escrow-enabled payments, quality checks, documentation support, and freight coordination.

Sodu is a managed cross-border wholesale platform. We are not just a factory directory or traditional trader, we source through direct factory relationships and manage the full transaction from order to shipment.

Sodu gives buyers stronger pricing, safer payments, quality control, documentation support, and logistics coordination. We manage the hard parts of international sourcing so buyers do not have to deal with factories alone.

Sodu uses aggregated buying volume and direct trade agreements with factories to secure better pricing and stronger production terms than many individual buyers can access on their own.

You can source construction materials, FMCG, food and beverages, home and personal care, furniture, home décor, packaging, hygiene products, textiles, and other wholesale categories.

Most orders are container-scale. The exact minimum depends on the product, factory, and loading plan. Some products require a full container, while others may be suitable for mixed-container sourcing.

Yes, when the products, factories, loading requirements, and timelines allow it. Sodu checks whether mixed-container sourcing is practical and cost-effective for your order.

The buyer pays Sodu, and Sodu manages staged payments to the factory. Final supplier payment is tied to order readiness, quality checks, and loading requirements.

Yes. Sodu arranges pre-shipment checks based on the product and buyer requirements. This may include photo/video validation, factory checks, loading supervision, or third-party inspection.

Sodu works with the factory to resolve issues before shipment whenever possible. This may include correction, replacement, rework, additional inspection, or another agreed solution.

Yes. Sodu can coordinate freight booking, export documentation, inland transport in Egypt, container loading, and shipment to your destination port.

Destination customs clearance, duties, taxes, and local port charges are usually the buyer's responsibility unless agreed otherwise.

Yes. Many factories can customize specifications, packaging, labels, carton sizes, and private label branding depending on the order quantity and category.

Sodu provides clear visibility on product cost, logistics, inspection, documentation, freight, and service fees where applicable, so buyers can understand their landed cost before committing.

Yes. Sodu charges a small percentage of the invoice value. The percentage varies by product category, order size, service scope, and logistics complexity. The fee is shared clearly before order confirmation.

Sodu combines factory relationships, buying power, payment protection, quality checks, documentation, and logistics into one managed sourcing process designed for Africa-bound trade.
