Overview

What it is

Sangola.in is a local platform built around one town and the villages of its taluka. Residents find businesses, jobs, properties and farm listings near them; local businesses and individuals publish their own listings, which administrators moderate before they go live.

The platform is live at sangola.in.

The business problem

In a small town, local information lives in word of mouth, notice boards and scattered social media posts. A single, local-language place to find and publish it makes the local economy easier to navigate.

Sharpflux’s role

Sharpflux designed and engineered the platform.

  • Public progressive web app and admin console
  • Backend API, data model and moderation workflows
  • Location hierarchy from state to village

Solution and approach

Publish, moderate, discover.

Listings are created by their owners, checked by administrators and then shown to residents, filtered by place and category.

  1. Sign in

    Owners sign in with a one-time code.

  2. Publish

    Business, job, property or farm listing, with images.

  3. Moderate

    • Admin console

  4. Discover
