Product journey

From a business challenge to a delivered experience.

A focused view of the decisions that shaped the product—not only the screens that were produced.

01
Understand

The challenge

Soug needed to bring several high-intent classified categories into one product without making discovery feel crowded. The experience also had to work naturally in Arabic and English, support different listing structures, and keep contact and seller actions close to each item.

02
Shape

The product approach

We designed a modular marketplace system with a clear home hierarchy, category-specific browsing, search and filters, reusable listing cards and detailed item views. Light and dark interface directions, bilingual layouts, notifications, listing management and direct WhatsApp and call actions were treated as one connected product experience.

03
Deliver

The delivered outcome

The delivered product gives users one consistent route to explore property, used cars, premium numbers and businesses for sale, while giving sellers structured tools to publish and manage listings. Soug is live on iOS and Android with a supporting web presence.

Key product insight

Soug unifies several high-intent local categories in one bilingual marketplace without making users relearn the product between property, automotive and business listings.

A marketplace designed around local buying intent

Soug brings several of Qatar’s most active classified categories into one mobile product. The experience was structured to help users move quickly from broad discovery to a relevant category, filtered results and a detailed listing without losing context.

Different categories, one consistent product language

Property, cars, premium numbers and businesses each require different information, but they should still feel like parts of the same marketplace. New Waves created a reusable design system for cards, filters, details and contact actions while allowing each category to surface the specifications that matter most.

  • Light and dark home experiences with clear marketplace hierarchy.
  • Category-led discovery, search and advanced filters.
  • Structured property, vehicle and premium-number listings.
  • Detailed item pages with direct WhatsApp and call actions.
  • Seller flows for publishing and managing advertisements.
  • Arabic and English layouts supported across the product.
  • Notifications for listing activity and relevant updates.

Built for ongoing marketplace growth

The modular product structure makes it possible to expand categories, listing attributes and promotional placements while keeping navigation and visual language consistent. The result is a live cross-store product with a focused local identity and a foundation for continuous marketplace growth.
