Queue management
Virtual queues reduce the need to stand in line or sit in a waiting area.
Municipalities
Smart cities start with better public services
In a typical city hall or other municipal building, there are numerous areas where people have to wait in line for face to face services, such as building permits, tax and utility payments, vehicle registrations, etc. Let’s change that.
Visitor management
Make visits to City Hall quicker, easier and safer.
- Easy appointment booking with SMS reminders and digital check-in reduces missed appointments and wasted time.
- Virtual queuing reduces the need to sit in a waiting area or lobby: visitors can grab a coffee or wait elsewhere until you are ready to see them. Once their turn arrives, they are notified via SMS that it’s time to come in.
- Automated people counting and occupancy control monitors the flow of visitors in real time and ensures compliance with occupancy rules. Monitor the entire building or individual areas.
- Smart wayfinders enable visitors to find the things they’re looking for and download directions to their mobile.
Improved communication
Use smart signage to communicate with citizens and staff in new and exciting ways.
- Interactive context-sensitive, multi-lingual, digital signage allows you to broadcast relevant information and enables users to find out more, using voice, touch or phone.
- Customer remotes enable visitors to browse while waiting.
- Guided selling helps citizens learn about your products and services using AI.
Integrated digital and physical services
People expect to be able to do more and more online. Make it easy for them to do as much as possible without needing to go to a service desk.
- Order pickup makes it quick and easy to collect or drop off paperwork, license plates, or other items.
- Kiosks with inbuilt payment systems and printers enable citizens to fill out forms or pay bills in the lobby without having to see a representative.
- Omni visit allows you to integrate in-person and online appointments.
“This allows our staff to be able to deliver service efficiently.”
