RedCloud

About RedCloud The global supply chain is broken-creating a $2 trillion inventory gap where essential consumer goods fail to reach the people who need them. Brands miss sales, distributors mismanage stock, and retailers face empty shelves. The result? Higher prices, slower growth, and lost opportunity across the board. RedCloud is fixing this. Our RedAI digital trading platform, bulk and retail trading exchanges connect key parts of the supply chain-enabling bulk inventory exchange, streamlined digital payments, and generating vast quantities of aggregated market data. By applying AI and machine learning techniques, we deliver predictive market insight and trading recommendations straight back to the trading environment-facilitating smarter everyday business decisions for our customers, from factory to warehouse to store. Headquartered in London, RedCloud became a publicly listed company on Nasdaq (RCT) in March 2025. With a diverse team spanning many nationalities and operations across Africa, the Middle East, Europe, and Latin America. We're building a more connected and efficient global trade network.
