The problem

Every order is a bet with your cash.

Independent shops commit money to stock months ahead, on instinct and a rep's word. Sales history can't help with a brand you've never carried, and a bestseller list knows nothing about your crowd.

How it works

Your crowd, not the average shopper.

Restocked asks Qloo two separate questions about every brand: do fans of what your customers love also love it, and how does it rank in your city? Taste leads; the city lifts or lowers. Anything Qloo isn't sure about is checked with you, never guessed. Here it is sorting a real list:

With Qloo vs without

A bestseller list gives every shop the same answer.

We sorted one supplier list for four sample shops with different crowds. A popularity-only list would make the same call for all four. With Qloo's taste data, 21 of 23 brands get a different call depending on who shops there.

Why trust it

We checked it against reality.

Before building, we compared Qloo's city rankings with where brands are actually stocked. Then we made the agent show every call it makes.

Why this becomes a big company

Millions of shops. No buying tool built for them.

Independent retail is growing, AI agents are arriving in commerce, and the companies that serve small shops are already worth billions. None of them helps a shop decide what its own crowd will buy. That is the gap Restocked fills, with Qloo's taste data underneath.
