Purple Dot

Founded in 2020, Purple Dot’s pre-commerce solution addresses a critical issue in the industry: countless products go unsold each year, leading to unsustainable business practices and significant waste. By empowering brands to sell earlier, Purple Dot helps them reduce inventory risk and store less, regardless of whether the stock is 1 day, 1 week, 1 month, or 1 year away. The company firmly believes that the next 10 years of e-commerce innovation will happen before stock arrives at the warehouse.
