Mintsoft is cloud warehouse and order management software, founded in Chelmsford in 2011 and owned by The Access Group since 2020. It sells on two tracks: one for brands running their own warehouse, and one for 3PLs.
The 3PL track is the reason people know the name. A 3PL’s system has dozens of catalogs to look after, each owned by a different client with different sales channels, all picked by the same people from the same aisles. Mintsoft gives each client a white-label portal showing their own stock and orders, and the warehouse bills them from the same system it picks from.
Connectors for most clients
Mintsoft lists more than 170 integrations, from marketplaces and shopping carts to couriers and accounting software, so a new client selling on Amazon or Shopify can usually be plugged in with no code at all. For a client whose setup no connector covers, the API is the way in.
Praised for its people
With 4.7 out of 5 from roughly 400 reviews, Mintsoft’s Trustpilot page reads like a thank-you card to its onboarding team and named account managers.
The API, from the warehouse side
Mintsoft’s API is public and broad, with around 190 operations covering orders, products, stock and inbound deliveries. Its help center explains it in short, plain articles.
Order alerts and stock syncs
Mintsoft can push an alert to your other systems the moment an order is dispatched, canceled, split or delivered. Stock levels are read through the API on a schedule.
Mintsoft’s own documentation notes that a full stock sync can take up to 30 minutes to reach a marketplace, which is what a stock buffer is for: hold back a few units, and the last one can’t be sold twice.
One user per integration
A Mintsoft API key carries every permission of the user who created it. The tidy setup is to give each integration its own user with only the access it needs, so it can be reviewed or switched off without touching anybody’s login.
One basket, several clients
We built a Mirakl integration for a UK 3PL that was about to lose a major client over Mirakl. One marketplace basket could hold products from several of its clients, each a separate Mintsoft account. So the integration cuts every order apart line by line and routes each piece to the right account. Stock goes back to the marketplaces with a buffer held back.
It took around five weeks, and the trickiest part was mapping one product’s different references across Mintsoft and each Mirakl store. The 3PL kept the client, and onboarding the next Mirakl seller is now a mapping job rather than a project.
