Norwegian grocery retailer REMA 1000 has formed a partnership with GK Software, a cloud-based retail solutions provider, to overhaul its in-store operations.

The collaboration will see the deployment of GK's Cloud4retail platform across more than 680 REMA 1000 stores to provide a more “personalised and future-ready shopping experiences across all touchpoints.”

REMA 1000 aims to establish a flexible and scaleable in-store ecosystem to adapt to the rapidly changing retail landscape.

GK Software's Cloud4retail offers a unified commerce platform that integrates various applications to enhance the customer experience. These solutions include GK's OmniPOS and MobilePOS for flexible customer service, GK Engage for designing loyalty programmes, and GK AIR for AI-driven personalisation and dynamic pricing.

GK Software CEO Michael Scheibner stated: “This collaboration was built on shared ambitions for customer-centric innovation and teamwork. Together, we are setting a new standard for grocery retail.”

The joint effort between the two companies is already underway, with active work on the implementation process to ensure a swift and efficient rollout across REMA 1000's extensive store network.

REMA 1000 operates under the Norwegian Reitan Group. REMA 1000 Norway and REMA 1000 Denmark are individual concept companies in Reitan Retail.

In April 2024, REMA 1000 teamed up with Market Pay to improve its in-store payment systems. The alliance results in the introduction of Market Pay's Pay on-site solution throughout REMA 1000's chain of stores.

Market Pay provides REMA 1000 with the latest PAX Android A35 payment terminals, capable of handling a variety of payment options and additional services.
