VivoCity is positioned as a multi-dimensional retail and lifestyle destination for Singaporeans and tourists alike, offering visitors a unique waterfront shopping and dining experience.

Malls are an ideal ground for experimenting new retail formats, designs and technologies such as guest Wi-Fi. They are increasingly acting as an enabler for omni-channel retailing, providing enhanced services for customers and assisting retailers with their distribution and fulfillment strategies by way of offering free Wi-Fi.

Challenge How to deal with more than 100,000 customers a day? Very few people carried their laptops to malls, but with the increasing number of mobile devices and tablets, demand for Wi-Fi internet access in shopping malls is constantly rising. Majority of mall visitors, look for Wi-Fi access to stay connected with their friends and families.

In a given scenario of shopping malls, there are several branded stores and thousands of people visiting the malls each day. So apart from the challenges of implementing a Wi-Fi network, shopping malls should also ensure proper internet access management and maintenance.

Vivo City are primarily using Kiwire and Omaya to improve the customer experience and influence dwell time in the mall. This is being achieved by identifying patterns of footfall, analyzing demographic information about visitors and pinpointing which zones they spend most of their time in.
