RedCloud Signs 3-Year Argentina Agreement, Forecasting $20m Revenue and $1.2Bn in FMCG Trade through RedAI
Rhea-AI Summary
RedCloud (Nasdaq: RCT) signed a new three-year agreement with Argentina-based Golomax and Picking Up, under which the parties forecast approximately $1.2 billion of FMCG traded goods to be transacted through RedAI over the initial term. RedCloud forecasts about $20 million in its own revenue from the agreement, including roughly $13 million from RedAI digitization, $4 million from RedAI RAID and $3 million in trade growth fees. The contract automatically renews annually after the initial three years unless terminated.
RedCloud plans to deploy its RedAI RAID (Realtime AI for Distribution) into the existing Golomax/Picking Up ecosystem on a revenue‑share model linked to growth. The solution will draw on RedCloud’s proprietary FMCG dataset representing $6.9 billion in traded value, with Argentina as one of four contributing markets. This agreement follows RAID’s ongoing deployment in Türkiye and a separate five‑year licence agreement of up to $30 million in Saudi Arabia earlier in 2026.

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
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
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."
