What we bagged: A spot on Forrester's Top 25 Retail Tech Innovators List
One of 25 tech solutions solving retail’s toughest problems
We’re incredibly proud to be named in Forrester’s 2025 NRF APAC Innovators List — a prestigious selection of 25 retail tech companies driving real change in retail.Chosen by the NRF Innovation Advisory Committee (IAC), this selection recognizes Fynd’s impact in product data enrichment, automation, and AI-powered design— solutions already helping global retailers unlock new speed, visibility, and control across their businesses. Whether it's accelerating go-to-market timelines or automating manual bottlenecks, Fynd’s solutions are helping retailers thrive in today’s AI-powered retail landscape.
"Product development is often a time-consuming and expensive process. 3D software has helped, but it is not always accessible to many firms. Fynd’s DesignStudio tool uses genAI to capture text prompts from product design teams and then create renderings of new items, which can help to speed up approval flows and ultimately the time it takes to produce goods. Brands such as Avaasa, LeeCooper, Mothercare, Performax, and Shein are working with Fynd."
