Our Mission

Our Mission - image

We are committed

In recent years, the supermarket industry has been under pressure to improve its customer service and operational efficiency. In response, many supermarkets have invested in new point-of-sale (POS) systems (SCO) systems and Back office / Head office solutions that allow them to better track inventory, manage pricing, and process transactions quickly and efficiently.  
 
One such system is from VME Coop, which is a one-stop shop system that offers a number of benefits for retailers. 
 
VME Intellistore is designed to help retailers streamline their operations and improve customer service. It offers a number of features that are beneficial for both supermarket employees and customers.  
 
For employees, the system offers an easy-to-use interface that allows them to quickly process transactions and track inventory. The system also provides real-time data on sales and inventory levels, which helps managers make informed decisions about pricing and promotions. For customers, VME Coop solutions such as the Self-Checkout (SCO) offers a fast and convenient way to shop for groceries.  
The system's mobile app allows customers to browse products, create shopping lists, and pay for their purchases using their smartphones.  
Intellistore is just one example of the many POS systems available on the market today. However, this type of technology can offer many benefits for both supermarkets and their customers.  
As the competition in the retail industry continues to heat up, it will be interesting to see how supermarkets leverage POS systems to gain a competitive advantage.

What is our long-term vision?

What is our long-term vision? - image

We in the co-op movement should not try to keep up with the technology of our capitalist competitors - we should exceed them.

If we don't do this, co-ops might have no future.

If we do this, the future of technology lies in co-ops.

We believe we will do this, and it will become the most profound transformation of the digital economy in our times.


What makes us different?

We are a worker cooperative, which means we are democratically owned and governed by our employees. Because we are not seeking to maximise

quarterly profits, we can better focus on a long-term strategy which works for the benefit of our workers and clients. This has always been the case with VME;

we’re not just the clients best friend until the sale is done and then disappear. Instead, we invest in long lasting relationships. As a result, we adopted an ownership model that is better suited to our way of doing business.


Fair Tax

Like many of our customers, VME is committed to paying fair tax.
