I'm only guessing but could it be that they mean that the program allows space management for the service activities such as distribution etc.

service industry
Any business, trade, profession, or organization that provides services to others instead of manufactured goods or agricultural products.
Note :
In advanced countries the service industry tends to grow faster than other industries for two related reasons: (1) other industries experience a decreased need for human inputs relative to capital input - that is, they need proprotionately fewer workers; (2) a steady rise in per capita income tends to boring about a demand for more service.

Peer comment(s):

neutral David Boorer : tertiary,or third party, is the simple translation, the company is primary, the concessionaires are secondary, and the clients of the concessionaires are tertiary.
