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 15 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
Business owners create a profile with their name, location, category, and contact information. All data is entered manually through the merchant dashboard — no automation involved.
02 - Business Profiles
Merchants can create and manage business listings with product or service details, pricing, availability, and contact information. All listings can be updated anytime through the dashboard.
03 - Citizen Actions
Once the profile is live, business owners keep it current — adjusting opening hours, pricing, availability, and promotions. All changes are reflected across all channels after the business saves the update.
Section 01
Homepage & Discovery
The entry point for every citizen. Every marketplace homepage provides structured discovery across multiple access patterns — search, category browse, map, and curated recommendations — all driven by merchant-managed business data.
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.

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.

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.

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.
