B2B Industrial Inventory Intelligence · Circular Procurement SaaS Platform
Surplus toValue.
ReUseFlow is an innovative and scalable B2B SaaS platform designed to transform how manufacturers and industrial distributors identify, manage and commercialise underutilised industrial inventory. AI-assisted inventory digitisation, technical evidence verification, production-aware matching and an integrated circular procurement marketplace aim to unlock surplus value, reduce procurement inefficiencies and improve resource utilisation.
The public demo uses clearly fictional example data and has not yet been used by real customers.

THE RIGHT MATERIAL, A NEW OPPORTUNITY
A documented path from surplus to circular procurement.
Mission
Turn industrial surplus into value through smarter procurement.
Vision: a world where every usable industrial material finds its next purpose.
Find its next purpose.
Check internal needs first. Then connect suitable stock with external demand.
Move forward with confidence.
Compare specifications, usable yield and delivered cost before deciding.
SC.01 · The problem
Usable stock, standing still.
Over-ordering against minimum quantities, cancelled or changed orders, discontinued lines and remnants of large sheets leave usable materials on racks for months.
- Tied-up capital and spaceMaterials paid for but not used, occupying warehouse capacity.
- Poor visibilitySurplus lives in spreadsheets, ERP free-text fields and rack labels, so other sites and departments do not know it exists.
- Value lost on disposalWhen space is needed, stock is sold cheaply, downgraded or discarded, while a nearby company buys the same material new.
- Unnecessary new purchasingBuyers order new because there is no practical way to find suitable surplus and confirm it fits a job.
- Unmet circular procurement goalsProcurement teams are asked to buy and evidence reused or secondary material, but lack a reliable, documented supply.
Existing tools solve half the problem. ERP systems record stock but cannot find a buyer. Listing boards and waste exchanges list materials but do not understand specifications or production fit.

One product, two capabilities
Inventory intelligence and circular procurement in one place.
Inventory intelligence
- Visibility
- One structured, searchable record of surplus, slow-moving and excess stock across warehouses and sites, with each technical field linked to its source document.
- Analytics
- Stock ageing, value tied up by category and site, slow-mover alerts (for example, no movement in 90 or 180 days), write-off risk and value recovered over time.
- Matching
- Surplus is checked first against your own new requirements, then against qualified external demand, ranked by technical compatibility, usable yield and delivered cost.
Circular procurement
- Sourcing
- Post requirements or cut lists and receive ranked offers of documented surplus, as an alternative or complement to new material.
- Decision support
- A like-for-like comparison with the new-material price, including transport, inspection and cutting loss, with the specification evidence attached.
- Evidence
- Each completed purchase produces a record of material type, quantity, origin and reuse for corporate targets, supplier requirements and public tenders.
Four core capabilities
From a rack label to a documented purchase.
SC.0201 · AI-assisted inventory digitisation
Every lot, readable.
Upload spreadsheets or ERP exports, or capture lots by phone from labels and delivery notes. AI-assisted extraction proposes a structured technical record for the material category, and a user confirms it.
In the demo todayLots by form or CSV import with the wood-panel schema, photo and video uploads, and datasheet extraction confirmed by a user.
Production hardeningExtraction from delivery notes and label photos, an accuracy benchmark on real records, and ERP export import. Further category templates follow from Year 3.

SC.0302 · Technical evidence verification
Know what is evidenced, and what is only declared.
Each critical field is linked to its source, such as a datasheet, label photo or delivery note. Completeness is checked against the category template, gaps and inconsistencies are flagged, and the record shows who confirmed each field and when.
In the demo todayA rule-based evidence checklist with reviewer approval and the “not certification” disclaimer.
Production hardeningField-level source links, consistency rules (for example, label against record) and a full audit trail.

SC.0403 · Production-aware matching
Your own needs first. Then the right buyer.
New requirements are checked against your own surplus before anything is bought or sold. For external demand, hard compatibility rules block unsuitable lots, such as the wrong thickness, grade or moisture class. The rest are ranked by usable yield and delivered cost per usable unit, against the new-material price.
In the demo todaySingle-lot matching against a requirement, with a match score and the reasons behind it.

SC.0504 · Integrated circular procurement marketplace
Request, confirm, inspect, accept, record.
Sellers publish selected lots. Purchase requests, seller confirmation, inspection and acceptance records and delivery coordination with third-party carriers happen in one documented flow. Buyers pay sellers directly. ReUseFlow invoices its own fee and never holds customer funds or goods.
In the demo todayQuote request, seller confirmation, inspection and acceptance, and an impact panel calculated from in-app data.

Assumptions and limits
- Invented prices: surplus €52 per sheet, transport €6 per sheet, inspection €2 per sheet.
- New-material reference: €38 per usable m², assuming new boards bought in sizes that suit the cut list with about 15% cutting loss.
- Simple grid nesting with a 4 mm saw kerf, one part size at a time; real cut lists and optimisation differ.
- Real matching also weighs grade, moisture class, quantity, distance and evidence status.
Platform modules
Six modules. Useful before the first match.
Each customer gets value from its private workspace from day one, before anything is published. That avoids the “empty marketplace” problem of listing-only platforms.
Inventory intelligence workspace
Spreadsheets, ERP exports or phone captures become structured technical records; ageing alerts flag stock at risk.
One reliable view of surplus across sites, less time preparing records, earlier action before stock loses value.
Technical evidence verification
Each critical field linked to its source, checked for completeness, with who confirmed what and when.
Buyers see what is evidenced and what is only declared before they commit. Fewer disputes, faster approvals.
Internal reuse check
Before anything is bought or sold, new production requirements are compared with your own surplus.
Avoids unnecessary purchases and reduces waste inside the company.
Production-aware matching
Requirements or cut lists against surplus: hard rules first, then ranking by usable yield and delivered cost.
Buyers find usable material faster; sellers recover value from stock that would otherwise be scrapped.
Circular procurement marketplace
Published lots, purchase requests, seller confirmation, inspection, acceptance and carrier coordination.
Clear, documented B2B transactions without ReUseFlow holding customer funds or stock.
Records and reporting
Reused quantities by material, origin and destination. Estimates only with a documented method.
Evidence for sustainability targets, supplier requirements and public tenders.
Eligible material categories
Built for industrial materials. Starting where matches are densest.
ReUseFlow handles unused commercial products and materials: surplus, slow-moving and excess stock in defined categories. A new category is mainly a new template (schema, compatibility rules and exclusions), opened only after it has been prepared and reviewed.
-
Pilot · Year 1 · CataloniaWood panels & furniture components
MDF, particleboard, plywood, melamine-faced and veneered boards, edging, fittings and components.
-
Next · from Year 3*Plastics
Unused plastic sheets, profiles, granulate in original packaging, components.
-
Next · from Year 3*Metal products
Sheet, bar, profiles, fasteners and metal components.
-
LaterTextiles
Unused rolls of fabric, technical textiles, upholstery materials.
-
LaterPaper & cardboard
Unused board, packaging materials and paper stock.
*The second category, plastics or metal products, is chosen on pipeline evidence.
Why start with wood panels in Catalonia? A dense regional cluster of panel distributors, processors and furniture, kitchen, office and contract-furniture manufacturers makes matches more likely and keeps delivery distances short.
Eligibility and exclusions
Eligible when all of these are true
- An unused commercial product or material that the holder intends to sell or reuse, not discarded or intended for discarding
- Identifiable: material type, quantity, dimensions or specification, and location documented
- The seller has title and authority to sell, and declares storage history and condition
- The intended use is non-structural, or needs no certification that ReUseFlow cannot evidence
- The category template is in place and reviewed
Never admitted
- Anything that is, or may be, classified as waste under Ley 7/2022, including hazardous and other regulated waste
- Hazardous substances or mixtures that need specialist handling, such as chemicals, solvents or fuels
- Contaminated, damaged or unidentifiable stock, and by-products whose status is unconfirmed
- Structural, safety-critical, medical, food-contact or other regulated uses without conformity documentation
- Food, pharmaceuticals, live animals, weapons and goods whose trade requires a licence
Items that fail these tests are blocked from publication. By-product and waste cases can be referred to authorised channels such as the Borsa de Subproductes de Catalunya.
Who it is for
Three customers around one surplus decision.
Manufacturers
- Typical need
- Surplus from over-ordering, cancelled orders and remnants; pressure to find cheaper inputs.
- What ReUseFlow gives
- See and monetise surplus, reuse it internally first, and buy suitable surplus for production.
Industrial distributors
- Typical need
- Slow-moving and excess stock across branches, customer returns and discontinued lines.
- What ReUseFlow gives
- Inventory analytics across branches and a new sales channel for excess stock to qualified industrial buyers.
Procurement teams
- Typical need
- Lower-cost or circular inputs, and evidence of reused content for corporate or tender requirements.
- What ReUseFlow gives
- Ranked, documented surplus offers and circular procurement records.
What is different
Not another listing board.
| Typical surplus or by-product marketplace | ReUseFlow |
|---|---|
| Typical surplus or by-product marketplace: Value only appears once many buyers and sellers are active | ReUseFlow: A private inventory workspace is useful to a single company from day one |
| Typical surplus or by-product marketplace: Free-text descriptions and photos, typed in by hand | ReUseFlow: AI-assisted digitisation into a structured category schema |
| Typical surplus or by-product marketplace: Seller declarations taken at face value | ReUseFlow: Each critical field linked to its source; evidence status shown to buyers |
| Typical surplus or by-product marketplace: Keyword search or manual brokerage | ReUseFlow: Hard compatibility rules plus ranking by usable yield and delivered cost |
| Typical surplus or by-product marketplace: Focus on waste and by-products | ReUseFlow: Unused commercial products, captured before they become waste |
| Typical surplus or by-product marketplace: No feedback on outcomes | ReUseFlow: Accepted and rejected matches improve the rules and ranking over time |
| Typical surplus or by-product marketplace: Built for sellers only | ReUseFlow: Built for procurement teams too: requirements, ranked offers, records |
The opportunity
A large, fragmented, largely informal market.
6,719
Spanish manufacturers with 10–99 employees in the eligible categories
2,012
of them in wood products and furniture, the pilot category
285
wood and furniture companies of that size headquartered in Catalonia
€422.5m
spent by Catalan furniture manufacturers on raw materials and supplies in 2024
Company counts are market ceilings, not forecasts. Surplus trade in Spanish manufacturing remains largely informal, so the main competitor is the status quo: brokers, contacts and spreadsheets.

Questions
Frequently asked
Is ReUseFlow only for wood?
No. ReUseFlow is built for eligible industrial material categories. Wood panels and furniture components are the first pilot category in Catalonia. Plastics or metal products are planned next (from Year 3, chosen on pipeline evidence), then textiles and paper and cardboard. Each category opens once its template has been prepared and reviewed.
Does ReUseFlow handle waste?
No. It handles unused commercial products before they become waste. Anything that is, or may be, classified as waste is excluded and can be referred to authorised channels. ReUseFlow does not take ownership of goods, run warehouses or certify materials.
Is verification the same as certification?
No. Verification links fields to their sources, flags gaps and records who confirmed what. It supports qualified human decisions; it is not certification. Sellers remain responsible for product conformity information.
Does the AI make decisions?
No. AI-assisted extraction proposes structured fields; a person confirms them, and a reviewer approves the evidence checklist. Matching shows its reasons so people can judge them.
How do transactions and payments work?
Sellers publish selected lots, buyers request quotes, and the platform records seller confirmation, inspection and acceptance. Buyers pay sellers directly, carriers are chosen by the trading parties, and ReUseFlow invoices only its own fee.
Is the demo a real product?
It is a working MVP at app.reuseflow.com with clearly fictional example data. It has not yet been used by real customers. Production hardening for paid pilots on real data is the next step.
Where will our data be hosted?
Production hardening plans EU hosting, tenant isolation tests, multi-factor authentication, an audit log and backups, with GDPR compliance and data processing agreements. You decide what is published.
Will you report environmental impact?
Reused quantities can be recorded from lot data. Avoided emissions will only be estimated with a published, documented method once a baseline is set. This website makes no impact claims.
