B2B search for buyers and sellers who cannot fit inside rigid filters.
Buyers describe what they need in plain language. Sellers describe what they offer. SOCCO turns both into searchable, comparable business data for better matching.
Built for real requirements like certifications, custom materials, lead time, MOQ, packaging constraints, and quality expectations.

Matches combine structured filters with long-tail requirement details
Built for UAE procurement workflows
Natural-language intake
Buyers can describe complex requirements without knowing the right category, filter, or format.
Flexible supplier data
Seller capabilities, special materials, certifications, and custom details remain searchable.
Focused clarification
The system asks follow-up questions only when it needs to narrow too many possible matches.
“I can describe what I need the way I would brief a sourcing manager.”
— Procurement Manager, Dubai
“Our special capabilities are easier to discover than in a fixed category listing.”
— Supplier, Abu Dhabi
How it works
One input box, then smarter narrowing
Describe the need
A buyer writes the requirement naturally, including constraints, quality expectations, destination, and timing.
Create searchable data
The backend preserves the original text, makes assumptions, and extracts structured fields plus flexible details.
Match against sellers
Search combines category, location, MOQ, lead time, certifications, JSONB details, and semantic capability matching.
Clarify only when needed
If the seller pool is too broad or unclear, SOCCO asks focused follow-up questions before matching continues.
Natural language in, auditable matches out
SOCCO is not just keyword search and not just a chatbot. It combines reliable structured fields, flexible detail search, and AI-assisted semantic matching.
Buyer intent matching
A buyer can write “premium packaging for skincare” and SOCCO can infer likely category, materials, logo customization, quantity, delivery, and certification needs.
- Makes reasonable assumptions from the first prompt
- Checks the supplier database before asking questions
- Narrows scope when too many sellers match
- Keeps the final data explainable and reviewable
Seller capability understanding
Sellers can describe products, services, and special strengths in plain English. SOCCO preserves the original description and extracts searchable business metadata.
- Structured fields for category, MOQ, location, and lead time
- Flexible JSONB details for custom capabilities
- Semantic understanding of long-tail requirements
- Original text retained for audit and correction

Search Architecture
More precise than filters, more reliable than chat alone
SOCCO turns natural language into data the backend can search, compare, explain, and improve.
Three-layer matching
Structured search
Category, location, MOQ, lead time, price range, and certifications.
Flexible detail search
Category-specific and seller-specific details stored as searchable JSONB.
Semantic matching
AI compares buyer intent with seller capabilities across long-tail details.
Long-tail details still match
A buyer can describe a requirement the way procurement actually talks, and sellers can be found through both structured attributes and custom capability details.
