Help shape our ScoStore products


We need your input!


Scomis has recently launched ScoStore, our online purchasing solution for our customers and other schools, trusts and federations across the UK and we’re calling on your expertise to help shape our products.


We are continually developing the merchandising for ScoStore and we want to base this on customers real shopping lists. We have prepared a short survey for you to tell us about your establishments shopping habits.


By sharing details on the solutions you actually buy for your classrooms and front offices, you’ll directly inform the products and promotions available on ScoStore. Please take a few minutes to complete our survey on your current and future EdTech shopping lists.


The feedback we receive on your real shopping lists will enable us to adapt ScoStore into a purchasing site tailored to your needs.
