Congratulations to Retail Assist who won the Project Implementation of the Year Award at the Retail Week Technology Awards this week. The award was presented for the work carried out on the womenswear retailer, Mint Velvet implementation. Triquestra UK are proud to have been part of that team with the Infinity POS system being installed across all the Mint Velvet stores.
About the Awards
New women's fashion retailer, Mint Velvet engaged us as its outsourced IT partner last June with the brief that all IT systems, software/hardware, infrastructure and communications go live on 1st October to run a fully multi-channel business and to meet their launch into House of Fraser. We planned the optimum solution and delivered this project in three months.
It was a tough category – Mint Velvet and Retail Assist were up against Net-a-Porter, Boots, Shop Direct Group with ATG, Wilkinson with Retail Manager Solutions, Blacks Leisure Group with Sage, Argos and Smythson with PCMS. However the judges were impressed that, despite this pressure and the scale of the undertaking, our core team delivered – on time and 17% less than the original budget – a robust end-to-end retail IT and communications infrastructure.
