Liquidation group developing new platform for managing surplus apparel
A Toronto-based group is leveraging innovative, disruptive technology to address surplus and inventory loss across the apparel value chain. Their \ web-based platform supports stakeholders — from manufacturers and suppliers to distributors and retailers — through discreet, brand-sensitive channels designed to manage and monetize surplus, off-spec, and short-cycle inventory. Centred on pragmatic cost-saving strategies and financially responsible solutions within a sustainability framework, their approach aligns with the evolving priorities of the apparel industry, while protecting brand integrity and minimizing operational disruption.
Curious? To support that dialogue, here are 10 early-stage questions they typically use to help tailor value recovery or redistribution strategies:
-
How are your opportunity buyers currently organized or segmented?
-
How critical is brand protection and anonymity when moving surplus or off-spec inventory?
-
What challenges exist today with third-party or internal logistics for surplus handling?
-
What are the primary sources of excess — cancellations, overproduction, returns, etc.?
-
Are there specific SKUs, seasons, or compressed cycles that routinely result in surplus?
-
What features would make a private, invite-only resale or redistribution network attractive?
-
Are there existing targets for waste diversion, carbon reduction, or ESG reporting?
-
What is the scope of your geographic coverage — number of distribution points and key constraints?
-
Are donation credits or CRA-recognized valuations factored into your inventory decisions?
-
Would a zero-cost pilot help in assessing platform suitability with minimal friction?
