London and Buenos Aires, Aug. 17, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- RedCloud Holdings plc (Nasdaq: RCT) today announced a three-year agreement with Golomax and Picking Up (“Picking Up!”) in Argentina. Under the agreement, the parties are forecasting shared revenues over the three year term of the agreement, expected to represent approximately $1.2Bn in traded goods transacted through RedAI. The Company forecast RedCloud’s share of the revenue generated to be approximately $20m, comprising around $13m digitization revenue through RedAI, approximately $4m in RedAI RAID revenue and $3m in fees for trade growth enabled for Golomax and Picking Up!.
Golomax serves 523 wholesalers and distributors across 12 FMCG categories, with products sourced from over 200 providers. Around 40,000 buyers transact across the network each year, generating approximately 500,000 orders over the trailing 12 months.1 RedCloud intends to deploy RedAI RAID (Realtime AI for Distribution) into the Golomax and PickingUp! ecosystem and share in the value it creates under a revenue-share model linked to the growth forecast. The agreement has an initial 3 year term that is automatically renewed every year thereafter subject to termination by either party.
This is a different route to market for RedCloud. Until now, the Company operates the trading infrastructure directly. In its joint ventures, it builds new operations with a local partner. Here the network already exists — RedCloud supplies the intelligence that runs on it and shares in what that creates. The Company sees the model as repeatable with other established independent networks in high-growth FMCG markets.
RAID is expected to be deployed into the ecosystem’s existing systems, alongside RedCloud’s first RedAI Specialist Agents, being built on a blend of Anthropic and OpenAI models, depending on their various merits for given tasks. The models and RAID algorithms are to be trained on RedCloud’s proprietary FMCG transactional dataset, representing $6.9 billion in traded value.2 Argentina is one of the four markets that dataset was built from. The agreement follows RAID’s ongoing deployment phase in Türkiye and a five-year licence agreement of up to $30 million in Saudi Arabia, both earlier in 2026.
Justin Floyd, CEO of RedCloud, “We can now work with trading networks that already exist rather than building our own. We believe this is a more efficient way to deploy intelligent infrastructure in a market, and if the model works here, we expect to do it again elsewhere.”
Pablo Conde, President of Golomax and Co-Owner of Picking Up, “Our distributors and retailers make high-value decisions every day without the intelligence to optimise them. RedCloud’s RAID engine is expected to change that, embedding predictive intelligence and recommendations directly into the workflows their teams already use. For many of these businesses, it is the first time insight of this kind has been within reach.”
Sergio Daniel Iribarren, co-founder of Picking Up, "This partnership is more than technology: it strengthens neighbourhood retailers, sharpening how they plan, replenish and — through Picking Up B2C — sell to consumers digitally. Its real value is the intelligence each transaction generates, continuously improving RedAI's RAID models and giving, for the first time, an end-to-end view of commerce to our customers that helps anticipate demand and cut stockouts. Our vision is economic but also social: by putting intelligence in the hands of thousands of merchants, we believe this can become a model for transformation in Argentina."
