Volume
14 mixed pallets, ~3,200 units, RRP £58k
Challenge
The retailer needed to free DC space and book revenue before quarter-end. The stock was a mix of branded and own-brand homeware, several SKUs already discontinued in-store. A traditional liquidation auction would have taken 4–6 weeks.
Approach
- Stock list reviewed within 2 hours of receipt
- Indicative offer issued the same working day
- Site visit booked for the next day for verification
- Firm offer and PO issued within 48 hours of first contact
- Two collections scheduled to avoid disrupting BAU outbound
Outcome
Full lot purchased and cleared in 7 working days. Stock routed through closed-channel resale to protect the retailer's RRP positioning. Repeat engagement now in place for end-of-quarter clearances.
"Painless. We sent a list on Monday morning and the last pallet left on Tuesday week." — Buying Manager, national homeware retailer
