One centre, many zones. Every zone its own licence.
A centre is not one music stream. The concourse, the food court and the entrances are separately controlled zones, and each one needs its own IMRO tariff and its own streaming subscription. Here is how Melodial Plus replaces the whole stack with one platform and flat per-stream pricing.
The licence is not per centre. It is per zone.
Centre management rarely runs a single playlist. The concourse, the food court, the entrances and the car park lifts are each independently controlled, so each is a separate music stream needing its own IMRO tariff plus its own streaming vendor. Add a second centre and the whole arrangement repeats.
Melodial Plus replaces it with one platform, central control of every zone and every centre, and a single flat price per stream, with the commercial licence included on each one.
One platform to run every zone in every centre
Melodial Plus is built for multi-zone sites: central control, scheduling and centre-wide messaging, at a flat rate per stream.
Manage music for every location from one place, and roll changes out to the whole group instantly.
Every stream includes the commercial licence. No IMRO fees, no per-site paperwork.
Programme the right energy for every part of the day to run automatically, location by location.
Roll out timetables, offers and promotions across every site at once.
Give each area its own energy within a single location.
Lock on-brand playlists and set staff permissions so nothing off-brand ever plays.
Playlists for every zone of the centre
A food court at midday and a concourse at closing want different things. Melodial has playlists for both, and for the trading season in between. No explicit lyrics, no jarring transitions.
Softer pop for the concourse from open to close.
Reflective solo piano for a refined concourse.
Soft, spacious textures for entrances, seating and quieter hours.
The seasonal trade, ready to schedule across every zone.

Common questions from shopping centres
How does Melodial Plus pricing work for a shopping centre?
Does our licence cover the retail tenants too?
Can we schedule different sound for trading hours, quiet periods and seasons?
The centre is the product, and the atmosphere is most of it.
Shoppers do not choose a centre for its tenant list alone. They choose the one that feels good to walk through, and sound is a large part of that feeling. A consistent, deliberate soundtrack across the concourse is part of what makes people stay, and people staying is what your retailers pay rent for.
