You're In Business

Rebolet is a verified Berlin-based reverse logistics startup (founded 2018) offering a highly useful solution for e-commerce returns and overstock, addressing both profitability and sustainability. While the project itself has verified traction (Seed funding ~$600k+, estimated ~$1M revenue, active operations), the submission quality is critically low. The input contains false claims (e.g., 'most people have used my product') and lacks data ('marketcap: null'), which severely penalizes the score despite the legitimate underlying business. The high market relevance of the circular economy boosts the rating.

Description
Everyday people buy more and more online, causing a rise in returns and overstock for companies. Handling returns has become a burden for companies and since reverse logistics are complex, they create tons of waste and lead to high financial losses. \n\nWe created a system to help e-commerces and online retailers to handle returns and overstock better. With our platform, our clients can track and control the process from an online dashboard.\n\nWe take over the testing, grading and stocking of the items. Our analythic models find the best next buyer or disposition channel, and using Omnichannel-Remarketing we resell the items looking for the highest recovery value.\n\nRebolet is the all-in-one reselling service e-commerce companies need to achieve higher profitability and better sustainability by processing, analysing and reselling returns and overstock through our SaaS Platform.\n
