RedCloud Launches CORE Commercially, Powering RedAI Sales for FMCG Field Operations — Live Today

London, Aug. 24, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- RedCloud Holdings plc (Nasdaq: RCT) (“RedCloud” or the “Company”) today announced the launch of RedAI Sales, an intelligent application built for sales and field operations teams in fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) supply chains. RedAI Sales is available from today to Enterprise and mid-market customers in English, with rollout to additional languages soon after. Initially, RedAI Sales is being offered to the 30 selected distributor customers engaged in the ongoing deployment of RedAI Strategy.

The launch extends RedCloud's RedAI product family to a second functional audience within the distributor organisation. Following the commercial launch of RedAI Strategy in Nigeria in June 2026, which brought predictive market intelligence to commercial and market-planning leaders, RedAI Sales is designed to bring decision intelligence to the teams responsible for turning stock into sales and logistics at the 'last mile' toward retail.

Today's launch also marks the commercial debut of RedAI CORE (Compounding Operating Runtime Engine) — RedCloud's trade execution engine, first unveiled on July 13, 2026, when it was described as nearing completion, and now commercially available for the first time. CORE is designed to act: it gives sales and field operations teams the infrastructure to configure warehouses, distribution structure, sales territories, routes and teams, and to execute against that structure as part of their daily operations. RAID (Realtime AI for Distribution), RedCloud's prediction engine, is expected to layer in as adoption matures, adding SKU-level demand recommendations to the execution capability CORE provides today.

Closing the Inventory Gap From the Sales Side

The Company estimates that the global FMCG industry loses approximately $2Tn in inventory value annually to stockouts, excess stock and reactive pricing — much of which is determined in practice at the point of sale, by field teams working without visibility into what is likely to sell next. RedAI Sales is designed to close this inventory gap from the sales perspective. As adoption progresses, RAID is intended to predict next week's demand at SKU, customer and territory level, translating that prediction into a recommendation for how sales and field resources should be deployed — so that distributors can direct effort toward the stock, customers and territories most likely to convert, and maximise sales returns and efficiency.

From today, powered by CORE, RedAI customers are able to start adopting RedAI Sales within their current commercial agreements. They will be able to define their warehouses, downstream distribution, logistics structure, sales territories, routes and sales teams, allocate sales people to routes, and drive reporting on sales effectiveness based on current data.

As RedAI Sales is configured and adopted by the sales function, RedAI will build the structure and data required for RAID to begin making predictive recommendations — prioritising and improving sales performance by predicting which offers, bundles and adjacent product SKUs a customer should consider, based on market supply and demand.

A dedicated mobile RedAI Sales app is in development and expected to launch in Q4 2026, giving individual sales representatives prioritised routes, sales visits and stock recommendations — boosting each rep's productivity and driving incremental revenue for the distributor.

Executive Commentary

“We built RAID to predict and CORE to act. Today, CORE goes live for the people closest to the sale — giving field and sales teams the execution infrastructure to configure and run their territories, with RAID's predictive intelligence layering in as adoption grows.”

— Justin Floyd, CEO and Co-Founder of RedCloud

“CORE is what makes today's launch real — the execution engine that lets a sales team configure its territories, routes and stock, and act on that structure immediately. RAID's predictive layer is what comes next, and when it does, RedAI Sales will tell reps not just where to go, but what's about to sell. We're building that deliberately, starting with CORE.”

— Soumaya Hamzaoui, Chief Product Officer and Co-Founder of RedCloud

RedAI Sales, powered by CORE at launch, is the latest in a planned pipeline of RedAI applications RedCloud expects to bring to market in the coming weeks and months, as the Company scales its global mission to deploy RedAI infrastructure.
