How can Omnyfy be used to build a
Shopping Centre Marketplace
Shopping Centres and other physical precincts have experienced an ongoing impact on rental revenues with bricks and mortar retailers being impacted by eCommerce and online marketplace channels.
Online marketplaces can offer customers the ability to click-and-collect from multiple retailers at a shopping centre, in a single checkout or have the products collected by shopping centre concierge for same-day delivery to their home.
The key facets for a successful Shopping Centre Marketplace solutions are:
- Simplified retailer onboarding – making it extremely easy to onboard vendors on the marketplace and have them setup to receive orders and payments
- A simple method to receive orders, set orders as ready for collection and for delivery – Omnyfy has developed a purpose-built retailer iPad app that does just this.
- Seamless click and collect and home delivery capabilities with order management for both retailer and centre management
- Easy inventory management for retailers across one or multiple centres
- Streamlined payouts management to vendors so that they can receive their funds in a timely manner with minimal effort from centre staff
- The ability to offer multiple delivery mechanisms from multiple retailers including Click and Collect, Drive Through or Curbside Pickup and home delivery
Simplified retailer onboarding
Omnyfy makes it easy to onboard retailers onto your Shopping Centre Marketplace. Simply import your retailers or sign up new retailers using the seamless retailer registration form.

Simple order processing
Processing orders is as simple as 1,2,3 and 4!
