How Mink Retail improved stock accuracy by 99.5% with Fynd WMS

About Mink Retail

Mink is a Retail-as-a-Service (RaaS) platform that helps direct-to-consumer (D2C) and emerging brands easily establish their offline retail presence. They provide complete retail support, from store setup to daily operations.

With over 80 partner labels under its umbrella, Mink needed to ensure each brand stayed well-stocked and ready to sell, without the usual chaos of inventory mismatches or slow replenishment cycles.

The challenge: Hard to track, harder to restock

As Mink’s partner network grew, so did the complexity of its operations. Each new brand came with unique SKUs, stock rules, and store demands. The warehouse team had to juggle multiple systems and manual processes to keep everything running.

Limited visibility across stores made it difficult to determine what was selling fast and what was sitting idle. Stock mismatches became common, with some businesses running out of bestsellers while others overstocked. 

"We wanted to make offline feel as quick and smooth as online, but managing inventory without visibility was tough."

Mink’s warehouse operations faced a few critical hurdles:

Fragmented stock control

Managing over 80+ brands caused product counts and stock location mix-ups and made it hard to see stock details, leading to too much or too little inventory.

Clogged inbound flow

Sale-or-return (SOR) items piled up, slowing down the process of receiving goods and making it hard to track inventory quickly.

Slow restocking

Moving items from the warehouse to stores was done manually, causing delays and missed orders from store staff.

The turning point

Mink realized that manual processes couldn’t keep up with its fast-growing retail network. The team needed one connected system that could handle multi-brand inventory, automate store replenishment, and give real-time visibility across all locations. That’s when they turned to Fynd WMS.

Solution: Fynd WMS for automated & efficient retail operations

Fynd WMS helped Mink improve organization, speed, and accuracy in their warehouse operations. 

Here’s how:

Store replenishment engine

Fynd WMS helps automatically create pick waves every 4 hours, ensuring shelves never run out of stock. The system monitors sales and store demand, so products are restocked before they sell out.

Clearing old stock faster

Return-to-vendor workflow helps clear out slow-moving or unsold items quickly. By returning these products to the vendor, Mink can free up warehouse space and create space for new collections.

Inbound & putaway

Every product that enters the warehouse gets a barcode. Fynd WMS keeps track of where each item is stored, making it easy to locate products and reducing human errors during stocking.

Multi-brand management

Fynd WMS helps support multiple brands under one system. Each brand’s stock, orders, and returns are managed separately but tracked together — saving time and avoiding confusion.

"Fynd WMS made it easy for us to stay stocked, agile, and customer-ready across all our retail points." ‍
