Every store visit begins and ends at the checkout area – and this is where long queues and lost sales most often occur. VVN offers comprehensive retail equipment solutions that combine self-service checkout technology, well-considered storage equipment and a digital assortment management system in a single solution. The result: faster customer service, a more organised store and lower day-to-day operating costs.

Self-checkout tills reduce customer queuing time during a store’s busiest hours – weekends, evenings and seasonal peak periods – and free up cashiers to deal with more complex customer queries.
VVN’s self-checkout till is built on the multifunctional SPINAKER system – the core component that manages the entire checkout process, from scanning items to confirming payment. The unit works with any POS software, so it can be integrated into an existing till system without needing to change the store’s software infrastructure.
SPINAKER DF allows a single unit to operate in two modes: as a traditional, cashier-operated till or as a self-checkout till. Switching between modes is done by changing the system settings, not by installing additional equipment. This is particularly useful for stores where footfall varies throughout the day – the till can be used in traditional mode in the morning, then switched to self-service during the afternoon and evening peaks, without increasing the size of the checkout area.
Customers can pay by cash or card, while voice-guidance support makes the process easy to follow even for shoppers using a self-checkout till for the first time. If a store already has traditional tills installed, the SPINAKER system can often be fitted into the existing unit, saving on investment in new equipment. The system offers a wide range of configurable payment options, a multilingual, intuitive animated interface, and a 1D/2D code reader that scans both barcodes and digital codes on customers’ smartphone screens.

Developing modern retail equipment solutions is a process just as complex as interior design – choosing the right equipment means aligning customer needs, product range and the character of the space within a single concept. VVN offers storage and display equipment for every area of the store:
The DSM assortment management system allows price labels to be changed and shelf layouts managed directly at the shelf, using a mobile device – without the need to go to the till or the office.
The system brings together several functions that take up the most staff time day to day: shelf management, price management and product searches. By automating these processes – such as price changes or checking a product’s location – stores using VVN’s integrated shelving and assortment management systems save up to 30% of the staff time previously spent on repetitive, manual tasks.
The DSM system supports printing and replacing price labels directly at the shelf, as well as managing electronic shelf labels – labels are assigned to products through a simple, intuitive interface, and price changes across the whole store can be made centrally within minutes, rather than taking hours of moving between shelves.
The system provides information on the location of all products, including those placed in hard-to-reach spots, such as high shelves or across several store areas at once. This is particularly useful for larger stores and retail chains, where manually searching for products can take up a significant part of a staff member’s shift.
