Deployments / Platform Structure

Platform
Structure

Every TOMI Local Commerce deployment follows a strict architectural standard — ensuring consistency for citizens and predictable, machine-readable data across all 17 live deployments.

Architectural Standard

Every marketplace. Same structure.

All 17 TOMI Local Commerce deployments share three core section types — one data model, consistent UX from Cascais to Chaves. This structure is used across active TOMI Local Commerce deployments.

01 — Homepage & Discovery

The entry point for citizens. Global search, category filters, interactive map, and business recommendations — all powered by live merchant data.

Elements: Search · Category filters · Business cards · Map view · Recommendations

02 — Business Profiles

Structured data profiles maintained exclusively by business owners. Location, hours, contact, and product catalogue — one source of truth across all channels.

Schema: Name · Address · GPS · Hours · Phone · Products · Status

03 — Citizen Actions

From any business profile, citizens can book a table, place an order, get directions, or contact the merchant directly — all without leaving the marketplace.

Actions: Book · Order · Directions · Contact · Favourite

Global Search

Query by business name, category, or service type. Results from structured merchant profiles.

Category Filters

Food, Retail, Services, Health — consistent taxonomy shared across all 17 deployments.

Interactive Map

Businesses plotted by merchant-verified GPS coordinates. Filterable by category and availability status.

Business Recommendations

Featured and promoted businesses surface at the top of every homepage. Curated by the marketplace operator.

Service booking and reservation infrastructure

Built for service bookings and reservations, at scale

Every TOMI marketplace supports service appointment bookings, table reservations and online ordering. Businesses set their own availability; citizens request bookings through the platform. Confirmations, notifications and status updates are managed after merchant confirmation.

Availability managed by merchant

Merchants configure bookable service or table slots. Citizens see available slots per day and time as set by the business — no overbooking.

Confirmation after merchant review

Booking requests are sent to the merchant dashboard for review. Accept or decline through the business dashboard — customer is notified after the business confirms.

Service or party details captured

Name, service or party details, date, and time — all collected at point of booking and delivered to the merchant in a structured format.

Any channel

Booking works identically across web marketplace, TOMI kiosk, and mobile app — same merchant profile, same availability data.

Service booking and reservation data captured per request

Business ID — verified merchant identifier
Date & time slot — requested by citizen, validated against availability
Service or party details — checked against merchant capacity
Customer name — collected for merchant confirmation
Confirmation status — pending / accepted / declined
Channel source — web, kiosk, or mobile

Business-managed interactions

Reservations, orders, and customer requests are handled directly by participating businesses through their own dashboards. Each interaction follows a structured workflow and is confirmed by the business.

Distribution

Omnichannel Urban Reach

One business profile. Every channel. Citizens interact with local commerce wherever they are — on a screen, in the street, or at home.

Centralised Business Info

Merchants manage a single profile that is reflected across channels after confirmation. Address, hours, products, and contacts stay consistent — no duplication, no discrepancy.

Global Web Portal

Each city marketplace is a fully indexed public website, accessible from anywhere. Business pages carry structured location data for maximum discoverability.

Citizen Mobile App

The TOMI mobile app allows citizens to discover local businesses, access their profiles, and take actions — booking, ordering, calling, or getting directions — directly from their phone.

User Actions →

Physical Urban Kiosks

TOMI kiosks are installed at key locations across each city — city halls, transport terminals, and commercial streets. Citizens interact with local business data in person, where it matters most.
