A huge thank you to Stock for sponsoring today’s newsletter!

Stock connects 3PLs, brands, and retailers looking to reclaim warehouse space with nonprofits seeking donated inventory. The solution makes donating surplus stock as simple as fulfilling an order, with tools for listing new and used items, intelligent nonprofit matching, and end-to-end logistics coordination.
Happy Monday! Let’s get stuck in.
Circular Feature Showcase: Refurbr

Your refurbishment business is a symphony of moving parts: sourcing, testing, listing, selling, shipping. But right now, you’re conducting it with a dozen different batons.
The result? Operational chaos. Missed opportunities. Growth that feels capped.
You’re not alone. The most ambitious players in the circular economy are hitting the same wall. This is exactly why Refurbr was built.
Leveraging a Decade of Engineering Excellence
Before the Refurbr brand launched in 2025, its core technology was already battle-hardened. It began life as MPX, a revolutionary Business Operating System as a Service engineered by founders David Burgess and Simon Belcher.
For over a decade, the platform wasn't developed in a silo. It was built on the front lines, hand-in-hand with real-world operators, becoming a proven, unified backbone for businesses with complex operational needs.
Refurbr is the evolution of that journey. The team took a mature, stable and powerful core and applied it as a dedicated platform for the tech refurbishment industry.
One Platform, Total Control

Refurbr acts as the operating backbone of a refurbishment business, bringing every stage of the lifecycle into a single system to support scalable growth.
Inventory Management ✅
Refurbr provides real-time visibility across inventory, from individual IMEIs to high-volume stock held across multiple warehouses. Every unit, status and sales channel is tracked in one place, reducing blind spots, manual reconciliation and lost assets.
Sales & Order Processing ✅
For businesses selling across Amazon Renewed, Back Market and eBay, Refurbr unifies orders and stock management through a single dashboard. Orders are synchronised, inventory levels updated automatically, and fulfilment workflows streamlined, enabling multi-channel sales without operational complexity.
Buyback & Trade-In Workflows ✅
Refurbr supports structured trade-in and buyback processes, from automated customer journeys through to diagnostic integrations and fast payouts. This helps refurbishment businesses turn stock acquisition into a repeatable, well-controlled workflow rather than a manual bottleneck.
“We kept seeing strong businesses constrained by fragmented systems. Refurbr gives refurbishers the control they need to scale with confidence”
The Vision: Powering the Global Recommerce Revolution
Refurbr’s goal is to remove operational barriers that limit the scalability of the circular economy. Their 2026 roadmap reflects that focus, with planned developments including:
Predictive Analytics (Q1-Q2 2026)
Moving beyond reports to actionable, predictive insights.
AI-Powered Intelligence (Mid-2026)
Supporting grading decisions, market value and demand forecasting.
An Open Ecosystem (Late-2026+)
Enabling market-wide integrations and partner-led innovation.
