RedCloud Holdings plc Launches Enhanced AI Trading Platform to Tackle $2 Trillion Inventory Crisis
LONDON, Dec. 02, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- RedCloud Holdings plc (symbol: RCT), a leader in artificial intelligence (AI) solutions for the Fast Moving Consumer Goods (FMCG) sector, has announced the closed launch of its improved Red101 trading experience. This initiative aims to leverage AI technology to address the staggering $2 trillion inventory gap that results in empty retail shelves amidst overstocked warehouses.
Understanding the Inventory Gap
The FMCG industry experiences an estimated $14.6 trillion worth of products traded across supply chains annually, reflecting a compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) of 3.8%. This persistent issue points to a significant structural dysfunction within the industry.
- $2 trillion inventory gap impacting global supply chains
- Over $14.6 trillion worth of FMCG products traded each year
- $3.6 billion transacted in FMCG inventory through RedCloud’s networks
RedAI Trading Platform Overview
RedCloud’s flagship product, the RedAI trading platform, now features two wholly owned trade networks: Red101, which helps retailers maintain consistent product supply, and TradeX, designed for bulk transactions between distributors and wholesalers. These networks have significantly improved data access and trade efficiency for users.
Utilizing agentic AI and machine learning on transaction data, RCT allows businesses to make informed, algorithmic trading decisions with an emphasis on recommendations and predictions. The upgraded Red101 experience is now available through retail partners, including Distribuidora El Trébol, a recognized FMCG distributor with over 30 years of market presence.
Market Expansion Plans and Strategic Implications
While the upgraded Red101 platform launches in Argentina, RedCloud plans to extend its services to other key markets, such as Brazil, Nigeria, South Africa, and Saudi Arabia, in the near future. This expansion reflects the company's commitment to addressing market needs through AI-driven inventory management solutions.
“We’re building an intelligent foundation for global trade, whereby digital algorithmic trade in everyday goods between businesses in the supply chain unlocks smarter decision making,” stated Justin Floyd, CEO and Co-Founder of RedCloud. “Global supply chains are burning $2 trillion of opportunity each year. Our aim is to bridge this gap, ensuring that inventory reaches retail shelves to better serve local communities.”
Company Growth and Financial Performance
The announcement follows a period of robust operational growth for RCT, having more than doubled its customer base year-over-year in the first half of 2025. The company reported cumulative revenue of $69.1 million by the end of 2024 and initiated a new partnership strategy aimed at enhancing payment and financial services across supply chains. Additionally, RedCloud expanded its technological collaborations through the NVIDIA Connect program.
