The app also allows users to follow promotions and events held in the District, encouraging participation and local consumption.

Key features include:

The app aims not only to facilitate the daily lives of consumers but also to value traditional commerce, reinforcing its presence in the digital world and promoting its competitiveness.

The Santo Tirso Digital Commercial District project, developed by the City Council in partnership with ACIST and financed by the Recovery and Resilience Plan, is part of a broader urban and economic revitalization strategy that focuses on innovation, sustainability, and proximity.

By integrating technology into street commerce, a dynamic ecosystem is created where tradition and modernity coexist, making the urban center more attractive, accessible, and prepared for the challenges of the future. More than just an application, this is a tool that connects people, businesses, and experiences, contributing to a more vibrant, connected, and innovative district.

In addition to the digital component, the district integrates innovative solutions in the urban space, such as strengthening the public Wi-Fi network, installing digital billboards and totems with real-time information, smart lockers for collecting purchases, and sustainable street furniture. Intelligent parking and traffic management systems are also being implemented, improving the experience of those visiting the urban center.
