Mapply, a smart map, and a shopping management app that provides easy navigation and AR assistance for shoppers at the Westfield Century City Mall in Los Angeles, California.

The Century City Mall holds a wide amount of clothing stores and eateries available. To which this brings thousands of people visiting this mall every month. However, many people have complained about navigation, parking and accessibility issues within this shopping center. This causes many people to feel skeptical about ordering food or merchandise due to the inconvenience. To overcome this, we have decided to create a "smart map and navigation app" that assists people in ordering food at the Century City Mall.

We learned that mall visitors picking up food need to park quickly and safely because they are on a tight schedule. However, we observed that the parking at the mall can be confusing as it is easy to get lost within the mall's many parking levels. Moreover, navigating throughout the mall can be tricky as the food court is located relatively far away from the parking garage.

We created Mapply, which essentially combines both smart maps and shopping pickup, curbside, or delivery apps into 1 easy to use platform. With API integrations and in-app browsers, users never have to leave the app to navigate to and from, or place online orders through their favorite apps like Postmates, Grubhub, Uber eats, and more.
