LONDON, Dec.  02, 2025  (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- RedCloud Holdings plc (“RCT”) (“RedCloud” or “Company”) ​the RedAI trading platform (“RedAI”) used by Fast Moving Consumer Goods (FMCG) businesses, today announced closed launch of an improved Red101 experience for retail businesses.The company believes that leveraging AI for the intelligent trade of inventory should address the estimated $2 trillion inventory gap1, where consumers face empty shelves while warehouses stockpile supplies. An estimated $14.6Tn2 worth of FMCG products traded across supply chains annually (3.8% CAGR2) points to a stubborn and growing structural problem for the industry. Within its flagship RedAI product, the Company operates two wholly owned trade networks: Red101—where retailers stock their stores with consistent supply of product—and TradeX for bulk trade of goods between distributors and wholesalers. These trading networks have transacted $3.6Bn in FMCG inventory to date, generating valuable proprietary data that other platforms can’t access. With agentic AI and machine learning trained on this data, businesses are able to use RedAI to make intelligent algorithmic trading decisions while trading in Red101 and TradeX, through recommendations and predictions.  The upgraded Red101 trading experience is available from today with retail customers of Distribuidora El Trébol, a leading FMCG distributor with over 30 years in market. Rollout plans for the Company’s other markets including Brazil, Nigeria, South Africa and Saudi Arabia will be confirmed in due course.  “We are delighted to be the first to partner with RedCloud as it launches a new and more intelligent retailer experience in Argentina,” said Ruiz Pablo Matias, Partner and Owner of P.M.R Trebol SRL. "We are excited by RedCloud's future plans to deliver AI-powered recommendations and predictions directly to Red101 customers, helping them choose the best stock to ensure solid provision and optimal assortment on the shelves. As a leading multi-category supplier to retailers, we are ideally positioned to fulfil those recommendations, providing unparalleled sourcing to stores as they build a profitable retail business that maximizes traffic and market share.”"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 based on data and insight previously trapped in ERP systems and spreadsheets," said Justin Floyd, CEO and Co-Founder at RedCloud. “Global supply chains are burning $2Tn of opportunity each year, with empty retail shelves in store while warehouses a few miles away stockpile inventory. This new Red101 trading experience for businesses, powered by RedAI, paves the way to a future of decision intelligence, getting inventory on shelves to grow business prosperity while better serving the everyday needs of local communities.”  The announcement follows significant operational momentum: the Company more than doubled customer numbers year-over-year in the first half of 2025, reported cumulative revenue of $69.1m to end 2024, launched a new partnership strategy for payments and financial services to maximize working capital across supply chains, and expanded its technology ecosystem through the NVIDIA Connect program.  About RedCloud Holdings plc  RedCloud has developed and operates the RedAI trading platform (“RedAI”), that facilitates more intelligent digital exchange of everyday consumer supplies of fast-moving consumer goods (“FMCG”) products across business supply chains.
