As part of its digital transformation, the team implemented CommercialCafe\u2019s tenant portal, aligned with Vision 2030\u2018s push for smart, service-driven destinations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We caught up with the team to see how the mall improved efficiency, transparency, and tenant engagement with Yardi\u2019s single connected platform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-medium-font-size\">\u201cWe\u2019re always looking for ways to improve how we support our tenants. By simplifying and connecting our processes, we\u2019ve been able to respond faster, communicate more clearly, and create a more seamless day-to-day experience for everyone.\u201d<br><strong>Luai Al-Najjar, CFO | Red Sea Mall<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-16018d1d wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/resources.yardi.com\/documents\/red-sea-mall-enhances-tenant-experience-and-operational-efficiency-with-commercialcafe\" style=\"border-radius:100px\">See the full client success story<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-company\">The Company<\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignright size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yardi.ae\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/21\/2026\/05\/Red-Sea-Mall-Blog-Image-Company.jpg?w=1024\" alt=\"Red Sea Mall Enhances Tenant Experience and Operational Efficiency with Yardi's CommercialCafe\" class=\"wp-image-11989\" style=\"width:400px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>At <a href=\"https:\/\/www.redseamall.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Red Sea Mall<\/a>, they think about people first. Every space, every service, and every experience is built around the way its visitors live, connect, and enjoy their time in Jeddah.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Red Sea Mall is one of Jeddah\u2019s leading retail destinations, located in the city&#8217;s northern suburb in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. It offers a diverse mix of shopping, dining and entertainment. With over 600 commercial units and more than 165,000 square metres of space, the mall serves as a major commercial hub for residents and visitors alike.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-challenge\">The Challenge<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Prior to implementation, Red Sea Mall relied heavily on paper-based processes and disconnected spreadsheets to manage maintenance operations and tenant interactions. This manual approach created operational bottlenecks and limited visibility across teams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tenants also faced significant friction due to the absence of a digital self-service platform. They were unable to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Submit or track work permit requests online<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Access lease agreements or billing information on demand<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Enter monthly sales reports digitally<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>This lack of transparency led to slower response times, increased enquiries, and reduced tenant satisfaction, which impacted trust in property management services. The company needed a connected real estate platform to ensure a strong data foundation with a single source of truth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-solution\">The Solution<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Red Sea Mall implemented Yardi\u2019s tenant portal, CommercialCafe, to digitise operations and create a centralised platform for tenant engagement, communication, and service delivery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The portal introduced self-service capabilities that streamlined processes for tenants, contractors, and management teams alike.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-results\">The Results<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-medium-font-size\">\u201cCommercialCafe has transformed how we engage with our tenants. Requests are handled faster, communication is clearer, and both tenants and management now have better visibility into operations.\u201d<br><strong>Ahmed Mahboub, IT Application Manager | Red Sea Mall<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Implementing Yardi\u2019s technology has significantly improved operational efficiency and transparency across Red Sea Mall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Maintenance workflows are now fully digitised, enabling real-time tracking of work permits and service requests. Additionally, over 80% of work requests are now submitted digitally, reducing response times and improving service efficiency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With CommercialCafe, tenants receive automatic notifications when permits are approved or completed, ensuring clear communication and faster response times. Also, due to digitising processes, Red Sea Mall has seen a significant reduction in response times. This has resulted in a 30% reduction in tenant enquiries thanks to improved transparency and document accessibility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center
