Stockly SAS

Stockly SAS operates a technology platform that creates a pooled inventory network for e-commerce businesses, founded in 2017 by Eliott Jabès and Oscar Walter. The company's origin stems from the founders' initial venture, a sneaker price comparison site, where they identified the significant challenge of stockouts for online retailers. This led to the creation of Stockly, designed to prevent lost sales due to unavailable products.

The company provides a solution for retailers to sell items they do not currently have in stock. When a customer places an order for an out-of-stock product on a partner retailer's website, Stockly's platform automatically sources the item from another retailer within its network who has available inventory. This supplier then ships the product directly to the customer in neutral packaging, creating a seamless experience for the end-user who remains unaware the item was sourced from a different vendor. The platform's algorithm selects the most suitable supplier based on criteria like price, proximity to the customer, and service quality.

Stockly's business model is B2B and based on a profit-sharing arrangement. The retailer that makes the sale via its website earns a commission, while the supplier who fulfills the order generates an additional sale at a negotiated price. Stockly takes a margin on each transaction it facilitates. This model allows retailers to increase their sales volume and customer loyalty by ensuring product availability, with some partners reporting revenue increases of up to 20%. Key clients include major European retailers such as Galeries Lafayette, Decathlon, and Leroy Merlin.

Headquartered in Paris, France, Stockly has expanded its operations to 25 countries. The company has secured significant funding to fuel its growth, including a €12 million Series A round in 2022 and a €26 million round in February 2025, led by investors like Eurazeo, Daphni, and 83North. The firm surpassed one million transactions via its platform in 2024 and aims to achieve profitability by 2026.
