by - April 07, 2019


Admit it, no matter how many times you have been to SM Megamall, you still can’t find your way around it. Thankfully some of its security personnel can answer your query or the customer help desk. But did you know that there’s another “person” who can answer your query as long as it’s everything SM mall related? Yes, meet SAM! SM’s first in-mall smart robot.

As part of a series of innovations designed to improve customer malling experience, SM Supermalls raises the bar in customer service with the introduction of SAM, the country’s first-ever in-mall smart robot – launched at SM Megamall last March 28.


SAM is an artificial intelligent (AI) humanoid robot programmed to deliver a smoother, more personalized and efficient interaction with customers.


“Innovation is what SM strives for in providing better customer service to all and we are proud to introduce our latest innovation yet,” said Steven Tan, SM Supermalls COO. “SAM is easy to approach and has answers to almost everything SM mall related, making shopping more seamless and fun for our customers.” 


Now at SM Megamall and coming soon to other SM malls, SAM is designed to help with directions and provide mall information about the latest deals, promos and events. Equipped with an advanced face recognition technology, it can also make personalized greetings to customers once they enter the mall. Customers can also chat with SAM through the SM Supermalls Facebook page. It serves as a 24/7 online concierge that can provide information like branch locations, mall schedules and promos, to name a few. 

SAM was created in partnership with the Cal-Comp Technology (Philippines), which is a leading provider of electronic and original design manufacturing services.  

Next time you visit SM Megamall, drop by Mega Atrium, Mega Fashion Hall, or Bank Drive and say hi to SAM for a more fun, convenient, and exciting malling experience!
