Shopping malls are evolving beyond simple shopping centers—they are now lifestyle hubs where security, efficiency, and customer experience must work hand in hand. Yet, mall operators in Uganda and across Africa face rising challenges: shrinkage, tightening budgets, and increasing demands from tech-savvy customers.
At Sky Tower Technologies, we empower malls with Hikvision’s AIoT-driven solutions to tackle these challenges head-on. From customer traffic analytics to smart parking management, we help mall managers optimize operations, maximize tenant performance, and deliver a seamless shopping experience.
