Westfield extends centre experience with launch of Westfield Direct

‘Westfield wherever you are’ with aggregated Click and Collect and home delivery to Australian customers

Scentre Group’s Australian customers can now shop from any Westfield any time, with the launch of Westfield Direct.

Westfield Direct connects into, and is powered by, Westfield’s market-leading physical destination network offering aggregated Click and Collect and home delivery.

Following a successful pilot in 2020, Westfield Direct extends the in-centre experience by enabling customers to purchase from multiple Westfield business partners across any Australian centre, in one online transaction.

Westfield Direct offers more convenience and flexibility to more customers by leveraging the strategic locations of 37 Westfield Living Centres across Australia.

Once an order is placed, customers can Click and Collect from the Westfield Direct service desk at their local Westfield or choose home delivery. Signage in-centre has been updated in preparation for increased Click and Collect customer visitation. Westfield Plus members will receive reward credits on all Click and Collect orders giving them further incentive to visit their local Westfield.

Today’s launch is just the beginning of the Westfield Direct experience with over 100 existing business partners and brands from across a diverse range of categories on board, with new businesses joining every day.

Customers can shop from big name brands to loved locals, including men’s and women’s fashion labels; MJ Bale, Cue, General Pants, Saba, Ted Baker, Sportscraft and Gorman, to homewares and leisure brands; Wheel & Barrow, Habitania, House, My House, Build-a-bear, Kidstuff and HobbyCo, to health and beauty with Aesop and L’Occitane; and much more.
Scentre Group Chief Customer and Business Development Officer Phil McAveety said Westfield Direct builds on the company’s core business to create more opportunities for customers to connect with Westfield and its business partners:

“We are bringing the Westfield experience to more people. This is fundamental to our customer strategy and our ambition to grow.

“Westfield Direct offers more convenience, flexibility and choice for customers to shop Westfield, any time, anywhere – still with the human connection they value.

“Westfield Direct provides our business partners with the opportunity to increase the productivity of their physical store networks whilst alleviating the time-intensive and costly process of fulfilling and delivering orders.

“Westfield Direct also presents a significant growth opportunity for our SME retail partners, many of whom only have one or two physical stores with us and no online presence. We’re looking forward to supporting them through this transition and introducing them to new Westfield customers particularly in the lead up to the Christmas period.”
