What Amplio does

Amplio (legal entity AMPLIO SUPPLY CHAIN INC.) is an Atlanta-based, venture-backed technology company founded in 2021 that operates an AI-powered industrial asset recovery and surplus inventory platform. The company targets Fortune 500 and large enterprise manufacturers — spanning discrete manufacturing, process manufacturing, defense and aerospace, automotive, chemical, food and beverage, paper and forest products, cruise operations, and eCommerce/web infrastructure — that carry surplus MRO, industrial electronics, components, and idle or obsolete capital equipment. Amplio addresses the carrying-cost burden of idle inventory (cited at 21% of asset value annually) by combining a proprietary AI appraisal engine with a private vetted-buyer marketplace, public online auctions via Bidspotter, and end-to-end logistics, compliance, and resale execution.

The platform is built around four interconnected product lines: an AI Appraisal Tool that analyzes structured SKU-level inventory data to output sell/scrape/redeploy disposition strategies; an Excess Inventory Solution for surplus MRO and components; a Capital Equipment Disposition service for idle or obsolete machinery; and an Enterprise Asset Recovery offering for full-facility clearances. A Cross-Facility Redeployment Engine scans enterprise inventories across sites to match idle assets to internal demand, and a Manifest mobile app supports on-site cataloguing with AI-assisted descriptions. Technology integrations include Stripe for payment processing and Bidspotter for public auction distribution.

Amplio generates revenue primarily through a profit-share / consignment model in which it assumes ownership of client surplus and shares resale proceeds, with the company fronting selling, freight, and handling expenses; secondary revenue streams include direct buyouts of surplus inventory at agreed prices and transaction fees processed through Stripe. The AI appraisal itself is offered free as a top-of-funnel onboarding mechanism, with customers progressing into multi-site enterprise engagements. Total disclosed funding is approximately $17.1 million across a $6 million seed round (November 2022, led by Construct Capital, Slow Ventures, and Koch Disruptive Technologies) and an $11.1 million Series A (September 2025, led by Hitachi Ventures and Yamaha Motor Ventures). The company is led by co-founders Trey Closson (CEO) and Taha Zinifi (CPO).

Revenue model

1. Profit Share / Consignment Model: Amplio assumes ownership of client surplus inventory and shares profits from resale with the client. Amplio's incentives are fully aligned with the client's recovery outcomes — Amplio makes more money when the client makes more money. Amplio fronts selling expenses, freight, shipping, and handling costs.
2. Buyout Model: Amplio purchases surplus inventory directly from clients at an agreed price, taking full ownership and assuming all resale risk. Clients receive immediate cash for their assets.
3. Transaction Fees: Amplio charges a transaction fee for using the platform services, processed through third-party payment processor Stripe.

Core offering

Amplio operates an AI-powered industrial asset recovery platform that helps enterprise manufacturers dispose of surplus MRO, industrial electronics, capital equipment, and full facility assets. The platform combines a proprietary AI appraisal engine with a private liquidation marketplace connecting enterprise sellers to vetted industrial buyers, handling end-to-end logistics, compliance, resale, and recycling on either a profit-share/consignment or buyout basis.

Product overview

Amplio is an AI-powered industrial asset recovery platform offering a suite of interconnected solutions for surplus inventory disposition. The core offering consists of the AI Appraisal Tool (proprietary AI system for inventory analysis and disposition strategy), complemented by three main service lines: Excess Inventory Solution (for MRO and components), Capital Equipment Disposition (for machinery and heavy equipment), and Enterprise Asset Recovery/Full Facility (for complete site clearances). These services are supported by a Private Liquidation Marketplace connecting verified enterprise sellers with vetted industrial buyers, and the Manifest Mobile App for on-site cataloguing with AI-assisted features. The platform operates on a profit-share model aligned with client outcomes, handling everything from appraisal to logistics to resale.

Emerging players

• AssetNation: AssetNation operates an online marketplace for corporate and government surplus assets. Smaller and narrower in scope than Amplio but operates in the same industrial asset disposition category, with partial overlap on buyer-seller matchmaking.

Direct peers

• GovDeals: GovDeals (a Liquidity Services subsidiary) operates online auctions for government and enterprise surplus. Comparable auction-driven disposition model to Amplio's public auction channel, though GovDeals focuses on public-sector surplus rather than industrial manufacturing surplus.
• B-Stock Solutions: B-Stock operates B2B liquidation marketplaces connecting enterprise sellers (retail, consumer brands) with vetted resale buyers. Comparable marketplace model to Amplio's Private Liquidation Marketplace, though B-Stock focuses on consumer returns and overstock while Amplio focuses on industrial MRO and capital equipment.
• Heritage Global Partners: Heritage Global Partners runs industrial auctions and asset disposition for Fortune 500 manufacturers and financial institutions. Comparable to Amplio's Enterprise Asset Recovery / Full Facility offering, particularly for distressed asset and plant closure scenarios.
• Liquidity Services: Liquidity Services (NASDAQ: LQS) operates the largest B2B marketplace for surplus assets, including GovDeals and GovPlanet. Directly comparable to Amplio's enterprise surplus disposition model, though Amplio differentiates with AI appraisal and a profit-share model rather than auction-based commissions.
• Bidspotter: Bidspotter is an industrial and heavy equipment online auction platform used by Amplio to host public auctions. Operates in the same industrial surplus and capital equipment disposition space, though Bidspotter is primarily an auction infrastructure provider while Amplio adds AI appraisal and end-to-end execution.
• EquipNet: EquipNet provides asset disposition, appraisals, and remarketing for industrial and laboratory equipment across manufacturing, life sciences, and food & beverage. Closely comparable service line to Amplio's Capital Equipment and Excess Inventory solutions for enterprise manufacturers.

Others

• project44: project44 is a supply chain visibility platform where Amplio's co-founder Taha Zinifi previously led product. Adjacent in the supply chain technology ecosystem rather than a direct competitor; reflects Amplio's roots and team DNA in supply chain software.

Broad incumbents

• Ritchie Bros. Auctioneers: Ritchie Bros. (NYSE: RBA) is the largest global auctioneer of heavy equipment, trucks, and industrial assets. Broader incumbent in the industrial asset disposition space; competes with Amplio on large fleet and capital equipment liquidation but does not specialize in MRO / surplus components with AI-driven appraisal.
• IronPlanet (a Ritchie Bros. brand): IronPlanet is an online marketplace for used heavy equipment and trucks. Part of the Ritchie Bros. family; overlaps with Amplio's Capital Equipment disposition use case for industrial machinery but lacks AI appraisal or MRO focus.
