The retail mind was founded by two former supermarket executives who have a combined experience of more than 60 years working in the groceries sector alongside suppliers and manufacturers.  Believing that there is a better way of doing business by building trust at the buyer – seller relationship. 

An end to end solution for suppliers both large and small.
