Read on:
TLDR (too long; didn't read)
• Built a Brazilian streetwear marketplace facing onboarding, sync and logistics chaos
• Bulk uploads, inventory sync and white labeled dashboards transformed vendor operations
• Automated shipping, commissions and catalog approvals made scaling easy
• Shipturtle became the engine powering a marketplace built for creators, drops and fast moving culture
Brazil lives at the crossroads of rhythm, culture and individuality. From São Paulo’s graffiti districts to Rio’s funk inspired street fashion, creators are reinventing urban style every day. But anyone who has tried building a streetwear marketplace in Brazil knows one truth: creativity is abundant, operations are a jungle.
This is the story of a founder who turned a scattered ecosystem of independent labels into a structured and scalable multi vendor marketplace.
The Vision That Sparked a Movement
Serena grew up fascinated by Brazil’s street fashion culture. Every designer she met had talent and audience demand but struggled with the operational backbone required to scale beyond Instagram. Listing inconsistencies, inventory mismatches, courier confusion and manual onboarding slowed down even the best creators.
The marketplace she imagined would fix this, a place where creators across Brazil could drop collections without dealing with broken workflows.
When Vendor Onboarding Becomes a Bottleneck
Early onboarding was simple. Then creators multiplied. Product uploads, size charts, variant formats, courier connections and sync issues became a daily battle.
She managed:
• Product and image approvals
• Variant checking
• Bulk uploads
• Size inconsistencies
• Vendor permissions
• Order pushing
• Commission setup
• Shipping connections
Potential was high. Operations were drowning. She needed infrastructure, not more hours.
This is where Shipturtle entered.
• Bulk uploads reduce creator friction during high frequency drops
• Inventory sync prevents overselling and builds customer trust
• White labeled dashboards strengthen marketplace brand identity
• Automated commissions remove weekly reconciliation work
• Courier integrations create consistency across creators
“This was the first time a full drop went live without me touching a single spreadsheet.”
