As shopping centers are redefining their role in the customer journey, one element is emerging as a powerful enabler of positive engagement: parking. The car park is a strategic space where technology can influence customer satisfaction, loyalty, and operational efficiency.
From August 5–7, the South African Council of Shopping Centres (SACSC) Annual Congress & Expo in Cape Town will host key players in the retail and property sectors, who gather to discuss macro- and local trends, technology innovations, and solutions for the industry challenges. At booth 69, HUB Parking Technology South Africa will showcase our digital solutions and how these elevate the customer experience in retail environments.
