Distinction
Not retail operations. SKIDATA manages parking access and the arrival/parking journey; retail POS and store operations are separate systems.
Not standalone retail. Shopping Mall focuses on destination retail with multiple tenants; single stores fall under other categories.
Not indoor wayfinding. The segment scope is the arrival and parking journey (entry, finding a space, validation, exit), not navigation inside the mall.
