RedCloud Surpasses 100,000 Customers, Activates Agentic AI Layer Across Global Trade Network
LONDON, March 03, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- RedCloud Holdings plc (NASDAQ:RCT) ("RedCloud" or the "Company"), the technology company building intelligent infrastructure for global trade, today announced it has surpassed 100,000 customers globally, including retailers, wholesalers and distributors. This marks a significant scale milestone as the Company accelerates deployment of its agentic AI infrastructure across global trade markets.
The achievement reflects the accelerating adoption of RedCloud's infrastructure amid rising geopolitical fragmentation, currency volatility and supply chain realignment. Forces that are reshaping how global trade operates.
For decades, global trade has relied on fragmented systems, delayed visibility and manual coordination. In today's environment, that model is under structural pressure. RedCloud's platform replaces fragmentation with connected intelligence.
With more than 100,000 customers across its ecosystem, RedCloud has built one of the largest digitally connected retail networks operating across emerging markets. To date, the platform has facilitated over $6.91 billion in FMCG trade value and supports the more than 6,700 FMCG brands listed across its infrastructure.
Brands, distributors and retailers use the platform to transact, manage inventory, access embedded finance and gain near real-time visibility across trade flows.
Infrastructure First. Intelligence Activating.
RedCloud is progressively activating an agentic intelligence layer designed to autonomously optimise trade flows across its ecosystem. Rather than applying AI as an analytical overlay, RedCloud seeks to embed intelligence directly into the transaction layer of trade, enabling autonomous optimisation of inventory positioning, working capital allocation and demand forecasting across connected markets.
Every transaction strengthens the network, every order enhances predictive capability, every data point compounds resilience.
With each incremental customer, RedCloud expands its proprietary trade data assets, reinforcing the competitive moat around its infrastructure and accelerating the intelligence advantage of the platform.
Justin Floyd, CEO of RedCloud, said, "We are witnessing structural change in global trade. Fragmentation, volatility and capital constraints are no longer temporary disruptions, they are the operating environment.
Crossing 100,000 customers demonstrates that our infrastructure is live, scaling and compounding. This is not theoretical adoption. It is active network participation at meaningful scale.
The next phase is activation. By embedding agentic AI directly into the transaction layer, we are transforming trade from reactive to autonomous, unlocking efficiency, releasing working capital and strengthening resilience across markets.
We are not building a feature. We are building the operating system for high-growth trade economies."
Scaling Network Effects
With over 100,000 customers connected across multiple markets, $6.9 billion in cumulative FMCG trade flowing through its platform and more than 6,700 brands participating, RedCloud's ecosystem is generating near real-time trade intelligence at meaningful scale.
In a global environment increasingly defined by economic uncertainty and supply chain reconfiguration, digitally connected infrastructure is becoming a competitive necessity rather than an optional enhancement. RedCloud is positioning its platform at the centre of that shift.
Looking Ahead
Having surpassed 100,000 customers, RedCloud now enters its next growth phase focused on:
- Activating new growth markets
- Increasing network density within existing markets
- Scaling embedded finance capabilities
- Activating agentic AI functionality across additional trade corridors
As global trade re-architects around intelligence, resilience and capital efficiency, RedCloud intends to lead that transformation.
