The municipality of Soure was the first in Portugal to inaugurate a Digital Commercial Neighborhood. The Digital Commercial Neighborhood of Soure has been fully operational since December 1st, 2024, equipping the municipality with innovative TOMI digital and technological solutions that bring merchants, consumers, and visitors closer together, strengthening the local economy.
Among the key features are the TOMIs and TOMI Lockers. The TOMIs provide useful real-time information in an accessible, multilingual, inclusive, and interactive way. They also promote local commerce, share news and events, and support urban mobility. In addition, they offer several extra features: taking photos and GIFs, conducting surveys through TOMI Survey, accessing guides and thematic collections about the city, collecting, classifying, and providing individual and correlated audience and interaction data through TOMI Analytics, among others.
The TOMI Lockers, on the other hand, allow for practical and secure delivery and collection of parcels, available 24/7. These devices also provide the possibility of having an address outside the home, making it easier to receive packages without needing to be present at the residence. Furthermore, they enable drawer rentals to store personal items, ensuring convenience and flexibility for residents, visitors, and merchants.
The project also includes a Control Room, ensuring centralized management of all devices and platforms within the Neighborhood. This infrastructure makes it possible to analyze audience, interaction, and transaction data in real time, supporting strategic decision-making and integrated communication between merchants and consumers.
On the digital side, Soure has an active Marketplace, serving as an online showcase for local products and services. The platform is also available through the Neighborhood App, which allows users to browse the Marketplace, access news and events, explore points of interest, take virtual tours, create itineraries, and save favorite locations. Additionally, the TOMIs provide 24/7 access to the Marketplace, in multiple languages, allowing for purchases or reservations at any time.
With the Digital Commercial Neighborhood of Soure, the municipality takes a decisive step in modernizing local commerce, strengthening its attractiveness and competitiveness. TOMI thus reaffirms its role in supporting the digital transformation of territories through solutions that connect technology, commerce, and community.
