Mission, vision and strategy

What we're building

Good FMCG products get written off because the right buyer stays out of sight. That is the problem Stocklots.ai solves.

Mission

We build the AI-driven platform that helps FMCG companies sell surplus stock faster, at a higher return and with less effort.

Vision

A European FMCG market where surplus stock reaches a buyer before it loses value, and good products no longer get destroyed.

Strategy

  1. Start where we know the tradeWe launch in the Benelux, then France and Germany, then Spain, Portugal and Italy, and then the rest of the EU.
  2. Every company checked, every payment heldWe check every company before admitting it and hold the buyer's payment until they confirm delivery. We mediate when needed, and both sides review each other after every deal.
  3. AI prepares, you checkAI drafts the lot, optimises the photos, proposes an asking price from market data and platform transactions, and recommends buyers. You confirm.
  4. No deal missedOffers, bids and matches reach you where you work: website, app, email or WhatsApp.
  5. Your data stays yoursWe never sell your data, and the other party sees only what the deal needs.
  6. Built with our usersWe publish our roadmap and the results we measure, and build what traders ask for.

We keep optimising our service for:

  • Higher recovery ratesMore of your stock's original value comes back to you.
  • Shorter time-to-liquidityFewer days between listing a lot and money in your account.
  • Lower workloadsFewer hours of your time per lot sold.
  • Waste reductionGood products find a buyer before they expire or get destroyed.

Target outcomes

We measure whether companies earn more, get paid faster and do less work through Stocklots.ai, and we make the results visible to everyone. Our AI learns from every transaction: which products suit which potential buyers, and what the optimal price is. That's how we keep improving the quality of our advice.
