About this case study

When surplus inventory is managed by each location independently through a small group of jobbers, outcomes vary by facility and recovery is capped by a buyer pool that was never built to compete. The bottleneck isn't the auction — it's everything that has to happen before it.

This case study breaks down how a well-known athletic retailer replaced a scattered, location-by-location jobber model with a standardized B2B resale program that handled the operational lift and drove consistent results across every facility.

Results within the first six months:

  • $26.5M in retail value sold through the platform
  • 43% improvement in pricing over legacy solution
  • Program scaled from 1 DC to 3 in six months
  • 150 curated buyers purchasing via a private, invite-only storefront
  • Export-only resale requirements enforced across all transactions

Download the case study to see how removing the operational bottleneck turned an inconsistent disposition process into a repeatable, scalable program.
