Problem
The global distribution industry for consumer goods relies on outdated, manual processes, with goods moving through multiple intermediaries and decisions driven by relationships and heuristics. Information is shared through calls, emails, PDFs, and WhatsApp, creating massive inefficiencies in a world where data and AI can now make demand measurable and supply structured.
Solution
Pimlico Trading provides an AI-powered super-distribution platform that modernizes the entire distribution value chain. The company uses AI to aggregate fragmented data on wholesale prices and stock availability from the global supply base, then models the true cost of moving goods, including shipping and tariffs. By identifying under-supplied, high-demand sales channels, Pimlico acts as a data-driven distribution arm for suppliers, increasing their sales and profits. For retailers, the platform functions as an outsourced procurement team, surfacing high-margin, fast-selling products tailored to their specific channel and facilitating the transaction from purchase to delivery.
Target Audience
Primary customers are consumer goods suppliers seeking to expand sales channels and increase profits, and retailers looking for an outsourced procurement team to source high-demand, high-margin products.
