New womenswear retailer, Mint Velvet, has signed up for a managed solution that includes Retail Assist's Merret merchandising and warehousing system, Triquestra's Infinity PoS, plus a complete IT support service.

Mint Velvet is headed up by former Principles brand director Liz Houghton and is backed by non-executive directors Peter Davies (chairman), Chris Inman and Richard Sims who were founding directors of Rubicon Retail, the former owner of the Principles and Warehouse brands, which they sold in 2005.

Stuart Grant, commercial director, comments: "Retail Assist was our natural first choice for IT outsourcing. Having worked with the team before, we were confident they had the knowledge and experience to deliver a complete managed service to a very tight deadline. We launched the Mint Velvet website and 14 concessions during October and have just opened our first standalone stores in Windsor and Chichester. The implementation was planned and delivered from scratch within three months - a remarkable achievement. We expect to get clear business benefits from having this managed solution as part of business."
