Let’s get stuck in.

Circular Showcase

We’ve all heard of SaaS, but what about RaaS?

Resale-as-a-Service is quickly gaining traction as brands and retailers look to scale second-hand without building resale infrastructure in-house. A new wave of platforms is enabling branded resale by providing the technology and operational backbone required to manage circular processes at scale.

As resale shifts from pilot projects to core commercial strategy, RaaS is emerging as a critical enabler of scalable, brand-owned circular commerce. Here are six platforms helping brands operationalise resale at scale:

Archive Resale

Combining marketplace technology with operational support across take-back, authentication, pricing and fulfilment, it helps brands capture second-hand value while retaining control of the customer experience.
