VoriOS, is our new cloud-based point-of-sale system and supplier-integrated back office suite; it's enhanced with automated pricing management features and turn-key shopper engagement tools. Essentially, we've placed the power of AI, machine learning, and world-class engineering into the capable hands of ambitious independent grocery store owners and their staff. But we'll let them speak for themselves. Check out the video:

Our all-in-one platform streamlines operations and boosts profitability with cutting-edge features that aren't typically accessible to local supermarkets, corner stores, bodegas, neighborhood markets, mom-and-pop shops, or co-ops. The platform is customizable to a variety of store formats and sizes, and is easy to use for a wide range of employee age groups. One of the grocers featured in the video above, Suruki Supermarket became a VoriOS customer in June 2023.

"Our new cloud-based platform gives grocers the freedom to run their stores from anywhere. VoriOS even puts a pricing coordinator, a CFO, and a marketing director in the owner's back pocket."

- Brandon Hill, Vori co-founder and CEO

Frequently asked questions

What is grocery back office software?

Grocery back office software refers to the digital tools used to manage administrative and operational tasks behind the scenes of a grocery store. These systems handle inventory management, ordering, invoice processing, pricing updates, and operational reporting.

How does digital invoicing save time for grocery stores?

Digital invoicing automatically captures invoice information using technologies like OCR. Instead of manually entering data, grocers can upload or scan invoices and review the extracted information within the system. This reduces manual data entry and speeds up invoice processing.

Can I order from multiple vendors through one system?

Yes. Modern grocery ordering platforms allow stores to place orders with multiple vendors through a single interface. Multi vendor ordering tools connect grocers directly with distributors and suppliers, making it easier to manage inventory and replenishment.

How long does it take to implement digital back office software?

Implementation timelines vary by platform, but modern cloud-based systems are typically much faster than legacy software installations. Many grocery stores can begin using digital back office tools within a few weeks.

What is the difference between cloud-based and legacy grocery systems?

Cloud-based grocery systems store data online and allow users to access the platform from any internet-connected device. Legacy systems often rely on local servers and require manual updates or batch processing, which limits flexibility and real-time visibility.
