The challenge

What ScentCo Sell-A-Thon needed to solve.

ScentCo wanted to move fundraising past static order forms and into live, social selling that people actually show up for. The product needed to stream a host, take bids the instant they happen, and roll every sale into a campaign total, all without lag that breaks a live auction. It had to feel the same on iOS and Android, because a sell-a-thon cannot wait for one platform to catch up.

Goals

Run live selling events with real time bids and chat
Roll every sale into a campaign and fundraising goal
Make in-app checkout fast enough to keep buyers in the stream
Reward sellers and supporters to drive participation
Hold one consistent experience across iOS and Android

The solution

Resourcifi built ScentCo Sell-A-Thon as a native app on both platforms, with a live selling room powered by WebSockets and real time streaming. Buyers watch the host, chat, and bid in one view, and a campaign dashboard rolls fundraising goals, raised value, and rewards into a single picture the whole team can chase together.

A shop with the detail to buy from

Product discovery opens a curated shop, and tapping an item shows photos, price, and details with seamless checkout, so a buyer can purchase outside the live room too.
