Navigation in malls

Convenient navigation in a shopping center (mall) is one of the most important success factors. The lack of modern solutions leads to customer dissatisfaction, which means a decrease in traffic and sales.

The introduction of a digital twin and geographic information system in a shopping center will reduce operating costs and bring additional profit, as well as make the visit more convenient and interesting.

The shopping center will have access to a new effective advertising sales channel that will recoup the implementation costs many times over.

Through the mobile application, the user receives useful and relevant information for him, and with it, useful and relevant advertising for him!
