Shopping centre connectivity in numbers
Works overlaying your existing access point estate
Purple is hardware-agnostic. Keep your installed access points - Purple overlays cloud RADIUS, captive portal, and location analytics seamlessly.
Overcoming shopping centre connectivity challenges
Delivering high-performance WiFi and capturing actionable data requires enterprise infrastructure designed for complex retail environments:
Eliminate dead zones across multi-level concourses
Large multi-level retail centres present dense structural shielding. Slow speeds and dead zones frustrate shoppers and cause early departures.
Purple delivers whole-venue WiFi roaming so shoppers stay connected, browse tenant apps, and engage with location-based offers.
Isolate staff, POS, and tenant operations securely
Tenant store staff, point-of-sale systems, and building management require secure connectivity separate from public guest traffic.
Purple provides cloud RADIUS and 802.1X authentication to isolate operational traffic onto dedicated VLANs with zero hardware redundancy.

Frequently asked
How does Purple help shopping centres understand visitor behaviour?
Purple's presence analytics track footfall patterns, dwell time, zone occupancy, and repeat visitor rates across the entire mall and individual units. Retailers and centre management see exactly how shoppers move, where they pause, and which anchor tenants drive traffic to surrounding stores.
Can we offer branded WiFi to each tenant while managing one network?
Yes. Purple supports multi-tenancy — each retailer can have its own branded splash page and marketing flows, while the centre management team administers policies, analytics, and billing from a single platform. Network segmentation keeps tenant traffic isolated.
Does Purple integrate with loyalty programmes and retail CRMs?
Purple connects to Salesforce, HubSpot, Mailchimp, Klaviyo, and other CRMs via native integrations and webhooks. WiFi registration data flows directly into loyalty profiles, enabling personalised offers triggered by in-centre behaviour such as dwell time or visit frequency.
How does Purple support seasonal campaigns and pop-up events?
Splash pages can be updated in minutes without IT involvement. Campaign-specific portals for Christmas, Black Friday, or pop-up activations can be created, scheduled, and retired from the Purple dashboard — with unique data capture fields for each campaign.
Is the data collected GDPR-compliant?
Purple is fully GDPR-compliant. Consent is obtained and recorded at the point of WiFi login, with granular opt-in options for marketing communications. Data is stored securely with configurable retention periods and full subject access request tooling.
Can Purple help us demonstrate ROI to retailers and stakeholders?
Yes. Purple produces footfall reports, dwell analytics, and campaign performance dashboards that quantify the value of centre-wide WiFi investment. These reports can be white-labelled and shared with individual tenants to support lease renewals and service charge justification.
