Shopping
malls have been rapidly emerging across urban spaces despite a growing number
of people who opt for online modes of shopping. To ensure visits to malls
remains high, managements are now integrating their operations with indoor
positioning technology to manage their space efficiently.
What
this upgrade could mean for visitors is that they get the entire mall in one
application on their smart phones. Be it finding their store of interest from
the parking lot, locating a restaurant, identifying kids’ play area or other
recreational zones, or as simple as finding the nearest rest room!
US
based software development firm Srisys Inc has developed Pigeon, a unique
application which helps large facilities with indoor navigation and asset
tracking. Built into one smart application for use on smart phones, Pigeon is
based on Geolocation technology which works indoors to support positioning and
wayfinding.
For
shopping mall managements Pigeon means an excellent opportunity for revenue
generation as the app can integrate push notifications and marketing features
as well. With core features such as point to point navigation, real-time
wayfinding and location of assets, visitors to the mall can traverse the mall
with ease.

Launched
in 2017, the app has been customized for efficient shopping mall management to
create a win-win for customers, the retail outlets, as well as the mall
management.
“While
there are many challenges associated with visitor experience management in
shopping malls, technology can resolve most of these as the dependency on mall
staff to address multiple issues at the same time reduces. This means that
shoppers can have all the information they need on the palm of their hand.”
said the CEO of Srisys.
