Mallcomm provides the central point of communication between tenants and site operators to manage access, security and sales data collection.

Mallcomm is now deployed across 650 properties with operations in the US, UK, and Europe. The businesses clients’ include some of the world’s largest commercial real estate owners and operators.

Synova’s investment will provide further capital for strategic M&A to expand Mallcomm’s capabilities and further penetrate other geographic markets and property sectors.

Armstrong provided full Commercial Due Diligence (CDD) including in-depth interviews with Mallcomm’s clients and market experts from property operators, investors, and real-estate advisors. Our commercial strategy work looked at market trends and assessed possible strategies for growth, as well as providing a detailed analysis of the competitive landscape.
