Company mission
To create a sustainable future for global production and consumption. With Flare, shoppers can plan ahead and buy products for future dates, saving money while supporting businesses in boosting sales and more effectively managing demand.
Our take
For eCommerce companies, predicting the inventory that will sell on their websites is vital to retaining customers and building brand interest, and on the flip side, incorrect predictions might result in stock sitting unsold in storage. Flare supplies a platform for planning and increasing sales, that allows eCommerce companies to let their customers order in advance, taking the guesswork out of product listing and reducing the need for excess stock.
Flare’s platform is centered around embedded finance. It takes future demand data from shopper UX analysis and can help companies increase sales, cashflow and streamline eCommerce businesses.
As a young company, it is hard to predict Flare’s capacity for profit or growth but, interestingly, it is partnered with leading e-commerce platforms including Wix and Shopify, showcasing that the industry indeed has an interest in its platform.
