About the SVM Tool

To ensure that this tool is as widely usable as possible to all schools and parents across the country, we targeted all of the ‘big 4’ supermarkets. 
At the time of publication, we know the SVM tool is compatible with Asda, Tesco and Sainsburys. 

Whilst the mechanism is generic, to be able to support the uploading of up to 2 pieces of data for any vouchers, meaning if any other voucher scheme requires 1 or 2 items of data for the voucher it would work for them too, we currently cannot guarantee or support this.

  • Asda and

    Sainsburys

    Sainsbury's only

    requires

    require a Weblink (URL) to enable the parent to access the voucher.

  • Tesco requires the Weblink and a

    passphrase

    Passphrase to access the voucher, so it is important this is included in the spreadsheet uploaded into SCO, otherwise the parent will not be able to access and use the voucher.

To keep this tool simple, and so as not to confuse between potentially old vouchers and new ones, EVERY TIME you upload a new set, even to only a handful of parents, ALL voucher codes will be wiped from SCO, and the new set uploaded.
SCO   SCO only stores one voucher per pupil and only that one is included on the mailings – all older ones are discarded permanently – so it is important to keep your own record with the original spreadsheet.
