FMCG end-of-line items and warehouse stocks for companies
Obsolete Trading Platform (OTP) is an online trading platform for leftover stock and short expiry date products, connecting FMCG manufacturers and suppliers with customers.
Branded merchandise outside the regular channel
End-of-line and warehouse stocks arise due to, among other things, a packaging change, variant withdrawal, overproduction, forecast error, or listing change.
The product may be fully functional, but the manufacturer needs to sell it outside the standard channel.
OTP makes such batches available to verified business customers.
What can you find on OTP?
Depending on current supply: food and beverages, cosmetics, perfumes, household chemicals and other FMCG products.
This offer is subject to change and a specific brand or product may only be available for a limited time.

So-called dead stock / obsolete
Stock that has lost its rotation or cannot be effectively sold through the standard path.
Product with a short expiration date

How to shop wisely?
Check the origin, packaging condition, date, channel restrictions, minimum volume, and total cost. Then compare the market price, commissions, and actual turnover.
A good batch should offer a price advantage even after taking all costs into account.
