Our story

The Mallmate+ solution encompasses, among others, the following benefits:

• Integration of requirements such as indoor mapping, indoor navigation, specials, events into a single solution.

• Unobtrusive, yet constant reminders that specials are present for the applicable stores.

• Indoor maps are displayed in a clear user friendly map that provides basic information such as store names, store categories. Further information such as telephone access , website access, specials details is only a tap away.  Mallmate+ further "remembers" map browsing and zooming and automatically repositions the user to the last accessed position. 

• Indoor navigation enables the end user to see and follow on the palm of their hands directions from one store to another.  Across multiple floors, escalator, lifts (elevators) indicate where they lead to.

• Customer safety in mind. In an evacuation scenario, multiple choices are offered for the user to select the nearest or most convenient route.

• We will entertain a solution whereby this product is launched under your own brand name.  This would be a joint venture with initial setup support.  Thereafter all management may be shared or done by yourselves.

• This product is supplied by Mallmate+, and is South African based. You can reach us on: mdiblasi@hotmail.co.uk or +27812642734

• Parking support.  The user is encouraged to record the position of their parked vehicle.  Subsequent directions to the parking spot are provided via Google Maps.  A small internal clock reminds the user of the time elapsed since the parking was initiated.

• Specials integration.  Store specials are available in different categories, such as "photo specials", "brand specials" and "custom specials" to suit different requirements and budgets.  These are described in detail under Advertising  

• Multiple mall searches.  The end user may search for a store name across multiple malls and thus have information to plan a shopping trip.  Furthermore searches are available for brands and/or brand specials across a single mall or multiple malls further enhancing the knowledge acquired to plan a shopping excursion.

• Highly user customizable.  Many of the look and feel features of the app can be customised by the user to personal preferences.

• Cost Effective.  Apart for the initial mapping, Mallmate+ does not enforce the installation and maintenance of GPS repeaters throughout the mall.  It will work quite happily without GPS.  However, should you wish to provide your customers with the ability to avail themselves  of GPS positioning, Mallmate+ will happily go along with your choice.  Any GPS solution that you implement is fine and MallMate+ will embrace it.  All that MallMate+ requires is a signal and initial synchronization of GPS locations with map locations. The end-user is also allowed to switch from GPS to "finger" navigation and vice-versa or even use both at the same time.

• Accessibility.  The entire MallMate+ operation is monitored from a smart phone.  Managers may thus apply changes in the office, away from the office, on holiday. Or whatever scenario you may think of.
