Private marketplace for excess inventory management

Los Angeles, California, United States

About Ghost

Ghost provides a private marketplace platform designed to help brands and retailers manage excess inventory. With a significant amount of surplus goods in the retail industry, Ghost allows these businesses to discreetly sell their idle stock. The platform connects two main types of users: those with surplus inventory (brands and retailers) and those looking to purchase these goods. Users upload their products with specific conditions, and buyers can bid on them in real-time, facilitating smooth transactions. Ghost differentiates itself by focusing on a private, data-driven environment that ensures transparency and security in inventory exchanges. The company's goal is to optimize the inventory lifecycle, helping retailers recover value from surplus goods while addressing supply chain challenges.
