RedCloud Deploys Agentic AI for Global Trade
Global trade technology company RedCloud has surpassed 100,000 customers and activated an agentic AI layer across its network. The milestone marks a significant scaling achievement as the company deploys its intelligent infrastructure for retailers, wholesalers, and distributors in global trade markets.
RedCloud's platform has facilitated over $6.91 billion in trade value for fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) by digitally connecting brands, distributors, and retailers. The company's network includes more than 6,700 FMCG brands and primarily generates revenue from Nigeria. RedCloud's stated mission is to build the "intelligence infrastructure for global trade," addressing what it estimates to be a $2 trillion global inventory gap caused by a lack of intelligence at the point of decision. The newly activated agentic AI layer, called RedAI, is designed to autonomously optimize inventory, working capital, and demand forecasting for users on the platform. This moves beyond simple automation, which follows predefined rules, to a system of intelligent agents that can sense, plan, and act in real-time to adapt to dynamic market conditions. RedAI was developed in partnership with Amazon Web Services and the NVIDIA Connect program. In December 2025, RedCloud signed a $50 million licensing and revenue-sharing joint venture to expand its platform into the Turkish market. The company has a stated revenue target of $100 million for 2026, citing the Turkish and Saudi Arabian joint ventures as key contributors to this growth. This move aligns with Turkey's growing fintech ecosystem, which saw a record $201.3 million in investment in 2025, with significant deals for startups like Midas and Sipay. RedCloud's CEO and co-founder is Justin Floyd, a serial entrepreneur with a history of founding and investing in technology companies. The company, founded in 2012, went public on the Nasdaq (ticker: RCT) in March 2025. It recently raised approximately $13.5 million in a private placement with institutional and accredited investors in July 2025. Agentic AI applications are a growing focus in the supply chain and logistics sector, with the market projected to reach $157.6 billion by 2033. These AI systems are used to automate complex tasks like document collection, order confirmation, and handling supply discrepancies with minimal human intervention. The goal is to create an end-to-end process with intelligent automation, allowing a Chief Operating Officer, for example, to ask the AI agent how to improve manufacturing efficiency and receive automated actions in response.
