Retail Spaces
Manage pop-up retail slots, market stall pitches, and short-term licence agreements — with online booking, pitch fee invoicing, and licence record management all in one system built for flexible commercial letting.
Flexible retail — pop-up shops, market pitches, short-term concessions — runs on short notice and quick turns. Traders book a slot, pay a pitch fee, and trade. Axiom makes that process fast and fully tracked — for the trader and for the operator — without a paper-based licence process slowing things down.
Traders book their pitch online and pay their fee at the same time
Market operators and flexible retail landlords want a simple process: trader books a space, pitch fee is paid, confirmation is sent. Axiom delivers exactly that — an online booking flow that captures the trader's details, collects the pitch fee via Stripe, and sends a confirmation with all the information they need before they arrive.
- Space Inventory Configuration
Define your pitches, units, and pop-up slots — by size, location, and category (food, artisan, fashion, etc.). Traders see what's available for their date and book the right space directly.
- Online Pitch Fee Collection
Pitch fees paid via Stripe at the point of booking. Traders receive instant confirmation and a receipt — no processing fees to chase, no cash on the day from dozens of independent traders.
- Regular Trader Profiles
Repeat traders store their details and book quickly for future dates. Operator eligibility records maintained per trader — insurance documents, food hygiene certificates, and terms acceptance all logged against the account.
Short-term licence agreements issued, tracked, and stored automatically
Pop-up retail and short-term commercial licences carry legal requirements — licence agreements, compliance documentation, and insurance verification — that need to be captured and retained per trader. Axiom handles this at the point of booking, issuing the required agreement online and storing the signed copy against the licence record.
- Digital Licence Agreements
Licence agreement attached to the booking confirmation and accepted digitally before the licence commence date. Signed copy stored automatically — available for audit without paper filing.
- Compliance Document Management
Public liability insurance, food hygiene certificates, and product safety documentation collected per trader. Expiry dates tracked — traders prompted to upload renewals before their next booking.
- Licence Term Management
Start and end dates, permitted trading categories, and any special conditions per licence — recorded and visible to your team at a glance. Renewals prompted automatically before each licence expires.
Pitch income, occupancy rates, and trader data — always to hand for your management team
Flexible retail operations depend on knowing which spaces are performing, which traders are regulars, and what the pitch income looks like month by month. Axiom's reporting keeps you on top of performance, arrears, and availability without any manual data gathering by your team.
- Pitch Occupancy & Revenue Reports
Occupancy per pitch, income per event or per month, and forward bookings — all reportable at any time. The data to maximise your trading days and justify new investment in the scheme.
- Trader Activity Records
Full booking and payment history per trader. See who your regulars are, who hasn't booked recently, and who has outstanding balances — without trawling through spreadsheets.
- Automated Trader Communications
Booking confirmations, set-up instructions, and event day reminders sent automatically. Your market manager stops writing individual emails to dozens of traders and focuses on running the day itself.
A market or pop-up scheme with empty pitches on trade day
loses income it can never recover.
Flexible retail depends on high pitch occupancy and fast booking turnaround. Every barrier between a trader and a confirmed booking is a risk to your income. Axiom removes all of them — traders book and pay online in minutes, operators know who's coming before they arrive, and income lands in the account without manual chasing.
Pitches filled faster
Online booking means traders can reserve their space at midnight, from their phone, the week before your event. No office hours required, no phone calls needed.
Compliance without the paperwork
Licences issued digitally, documents uploaded at booking, expiry dates tracked automatically. Your compliance obligations met without a filing cabinet full of paper.
Income collected at booking
Pitch fees paid online before the trading day. No cash collection, no invoice chasing, no traders who "forgot" their payment. Income accounted for before anyone sets up a stall.
