Pet store in Söderköping invested in self-service - received EU help

Lina Kemle has a shop with pet food and other things in Söderköping.

When the corona pandemic broke out, she began to worry about how she could manage to have the store staffed if employees became ill.

The solution was to ensure that the store can stay open even when staff are not on site.

Customers log in with the help of BankID on their mobile phones.

- I think this can be a boost for many shops in the countryside, says Lina Kemle.

Open in the evening

She was helped to afford the equipment from the EU's rural program "Leader" and now she can be open 15 hours every day throughout the year and has had her staff costs reduced.

In principle, she could be open around the clock, but it will be her job to keep track of the store with the help of the surveillance cameras that are connected to her mobile.

In the feature above, she talks about the risk of theft.
