Capacity Exchange is the marketplace where stores trade the spare hours and stock they have for the ones they need. MindLoop finds the match, holds the money, and pays out only when it works.
No listing to write. No broker fee. You approve every trade.
Short on a Saturday, you pay overtime or rush-buy at full price. Over the next week, the spare hours and stock just sit there and rot. Both ways, it costs you. Capacity Exchange turns one store’s waste into the other’s cover.
Every store has surplus somewhere and a shortage somewhere else. The exchange matches them by resource type, window, and network. Need your own unit? Declare it, and the match engine handles it.
Spare shift coverage, skill bands, on-call slots. Sell into a neighbour’s peak window.
Mango pallets you won’t move before spoilage. Move them to a store with a stockout risk instead.
Open last-mile slots a route can absorb. Sell them to a neighbour’s overflow.
Backroom you’re not using this quarter. Lease to a seasonal surge.
Refrigerated display, kitchen line, signage. Rent in or out by the week.
Legal review, procurement, merchandising. Lend a skill your team has spare to one that needs it.
Cold-chain, climate-controlled, hazmat-tier storage. Priced by the unit.
Define your own resource type. The match engine handles it once you declare the unit.
MindLoop already watches your numbers. When stock you can’t move lines up with a store that can’t meet its demand, both of you get the match. No listing to write, no buyer to chase.
Every match is scored before it reaches you, and graded after it settles. You see the lift it promised, and the lift it actually delivered.
Trust is built in: the money sits in escrow until delivery proof and result proof both land — so the seller can’t get stiffed, and the buyer never pays for a no-show.
Every match runs the same six stops. You approve; MindLoop handles the rest.
MindLoop reads your numbers. Surplus on your side, a shortage on theirs — both of you get an alert.
The pair is scored on eight factors. Strong matches go to the top of each queue.
You approve on both sides. Edit quantity, window, pickup details, or price first.
The moment both accept, the money moves into escrow and is held.
The capacity moves. Delivery proof lands — receipt, badge-in, slot booked.
Result proof confirms it worked. Escrow releases. Both sides settle.
The seller turns idle capacity into revenue. The buyer covers a need before it costs them a sale. The result-check proves the trade was worth it for both.
Spare staff hours. Stock you won’t move. Delivery slots a route can absorb. Backroom you’re not filling. Set the lowest margin you’ll take, and only offers above it ever reach you.
MindLoop spots the shortage in your own numbers before it costs you. Each match shows what the buy is worth, so you see the upside before you accept.
It runs on the same numbers your store already gives MindLoop. Three steps to start trading capacity.
Link your store, declare what you can offer, set your minimum margins.
MindLoop watches your numbers. Surplus and shortage matches surface on their own.
Accept, deliver, and the result-check clears. The money releases from escrow.
