What is the EQL program?

To address issues with the chaos that tends to follow new drops and the prevalence of scalpers, Stanley's parent company Pacific Market International (PMI) has partnered with Australian company EQL to manage its products' online sales.

EQL has worked with other major brands like Nike to help manage highly sought-after releases. According to Stanley's website, EQL's technology to eliminates bots and minimize access to resellers.

"The goal is to provide our customers with an equitable opportunity to get the Stanley they desire, while easing the pressure of rushing through the checkout process," says the Stanley website.

Stanley employed this technique for the first time during the launch of its chocolate gold tumbler. The company opened a six-hour window for customers to sign up online to get a chance to buy one. The list was then used the following day to notify people who were selected that the cup was now available for their purchase.

The system only allows one entry per person and monitors things like entries per IP address to prevent mass-buying by resellers, scalpers and product hoarders.
