Industries We Serve
Industry Focus by Vertical
Tailored solutions for the unique inventory challenges in your industry.
From regional chains to national retailers, we help brick-and-mortar operators clear seasonal overstock, category exits, and store closure inventory. Fast floor clearance means faster resets and better capital deployment.
Learn more about retail
Online sellers face relentless challenges with returns, excess FBA inventory, and SKU turnover. We provide a single exit point to clear warehouse space and stop the bleed of high fulfillment fees.
Learn more about e-commerce
When freight stops moving, it costs you racking and throughput. We act as a high-velocity release valve for 3PLs, purchasing refused or abandoned inventory outright to restore your capacity.
Learn more about third-party logistics
Production overruns, packaging changes, and canceled POs create operational noise. We buy your finished goods in bulk and handle the pickup, allowing you to focus on production velocity.
