RDE Prime helps independent retailers unlock cash tied up in excess inventory by identifying slow‑moving products, recommending markdowns, bundling, and reorder adjustments, and providing weekly alerts on inventory changes. The platform integrates with Shopify for live sync or accepts CSV uploads for a one‑time diagnostic, and will soon offer a liquidation marketplace to connect sellers with vetted buyers.

Problem
Independent retailers often carry excess or slow‑moving inventory that ties up working capital, leading to cash flow constraints, missed stocking opportunities, and hidden costs from overstock and markdowns.
Solution
RDE Prime provides a cloud‑based analytics platform that connects to a retailer’s Shopify store (or a CSV export) in minutes and evaluates sell‑through history for every SKU. The system classifies items as dead stock, slow movers, or overstock and calculates the dollar amount of cash currently trapped in inventory. It then delivers a plain‑English recovery plan that prioritizes markdown sequences, bundling moves, and reorder protections, along with weekly alerts as inventory conditions change. A forthcoming liquidation marketplace will match overstock with vetted buyers and handle logistics, enabling retailers to convert excess stock into liquid capital efficiently.
Target Audience
Primary customers are independent, owner‑operated retailers using Shopify (or similar POS systems) who need to free up cash locked in excess inventory.
