How a village shop runs with scango.ch

Whether you stock 200 or 2,500 items, your assortment follows what your village needs day to day: groceries, fresh bread, chilled drinks, plus a secured beer and spirits cellar if you want one. The checkout records and books every purchase automatically, and the cloud dashboard shows you from anywhere what's selling and when to reorder. Customers pay by card or TWINT, and video surveillance adds an extra layer of security.
