Cartlow, UAE re-commerce startup, partners with Blue Ocean Global to boost circular economy 

Cartlow, the re-commerce and reverse logistics facilitator across the UAE & KSA, has partnered with Blue Ocean Global, which represents some of the world’s top telecom, electronics, and small domestic appliance brands in an effort to streamline its product return flow, enhance conversion rate, and sustain a healthy inventory. Blue Ocean Global is the authorized distributor of brands including Black & Decker, Gigaset, Motorola, NEC, Milagrow, Godrej, and many more. In parallel, Cartlow’s advanced reverse logistics platform will empower the global distributor to eliminate waste from its reverse supply chain and direct it into the hands of Cartlow’s satisfied customer base. 

Cartlow’s partnership with Blue Ocean Global will support the latter in sustaining a healthy inventory and an elevated value proposition by utilizing the power of API integration, technology and by helping the reverse inventory journey, starting from receiving the item to refurbishing it until it reaches the last stage of selling on Cartlow. Furthermore, the collaboration will allow both parties to have an even greater impact on decreasing waste from returned, open-box, and clearance products, by reselling products on Cartlow’s popular re-commerce platform which has more than 1 million active users per month. Excess inventory is often discarded in large quantities, as the reselling of these items can be challenging. As such, the partnership between both entities is set to significantly improve Blue Ocean Global’s reverse inventory problems by helping with their sustainability and overall warehouse storage, whilst fuelling e-commerce growth in the region on a larger scale - a common goal for both entities. 

The recent agreement also comes in line with Cartlow’s expanding market presence, collaborating with leading distributors, retailers, and resellers in the region, after demonstrating its proven track record within the field of reverse logistics. Additionally, Cartlow’s innovative industry re-commerce platform operates with the goal of enhancing resellers, retailers, and distributors’ overall operational efficiencies through sustainable return management practices and sales channel capabilities. 

Commenting on Cartlow’s partnership with Blue Ocean Global, Mohammad Sleiman, Founder & CEO at Cartlow stated: “Our notable partnership with Blue Ocean Global will support them in achieving a more sustainable business model when it comes to stock and return management. Nowadays, leading distributors are rethinking the way they manage returned and overstock items, and we are here to assist them in achieving higher inventory recovery rates, improving warehouse utilization capacity, all whilst reducing their overall handling costs.”

Since its launch in 2019, Cartlow has helped resellers, retailers, and distributors across the region access hundreds of products at below wholesale market prices for used, refurbished, and liquidation products, such as; mobile phones, laptops, desktops, tablets, home appliances, and many more items. Similarly, the leading re-commerce provider has also assisted B2B ventures in increasing their recovery value and facilitating the flow of their inventories faster than usual, enabling them to optimize their operations, reduce costs and eliminate product wastage.
